Anyone who knows me also knows that I like my computer to work for me, not the other way around so when we had the opportunity to review Code For Teens: The Awesome Beginner’s Guide to Programming (Volume 1) from Code for Teens I jumped at the chance. Having EJ learn coding will be a big help to him in the future…
Do you ever feel as though you are on a hamster wheel, running and running but never getting ahead? When I read this week’s Five Minute Friday prompt – done- that is the first thing that popped into my head. Not because I feel like I’m on that hamster wheel these days but because it was not too long ago…
Maybe it’s because I’m Irish…or perhaps it’s because I married a fellow whose family has deep roots in Prince Edward Island…or perhaps I just love potatoes because they are so versatile and inexpensive. Whatever the reason, for the second week in a row I am featuring pomme de terre (if I use their French name they sound fancier don’t they)…
For those of us who are native to Calgary waking up just as the sun is breaking through on the horizon is not unusual. We’re used to working with folks in the East who are two hours ahead of us so we do it (but maybe don’t like it all that much). Of course, there is one morning when thousands…
We’ve had the opportunity to review the Advanced (5th & 6th grade) homeschool Bible lessons from Bible Study Guide For All Ages over the past few weeks. Of course, with summer’s arrival, we have been taking a lot of our learning outdoors and into nature so we tucked our pages into a binder, packed up our pencil case and Bible and found a nice…
Thought I’d share some photos from last year’s Calgary Stampede Parade for Wordless Wednesday this week. Only two more sleeps until this year’s event! You can read my post on last years parade here. Here are some other Wordless Wednesday links to visit! Wendy at Life at Rossmont. Tots and Me Growing Up Together
OK, so who am I trying to kid with that headline? The Loveless Cafe is more than our favorite lunch spot in Nashville, it’s one of our favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner places anywhere in North America. From the very first time I visited there with my girls (on the suggestion of a friend) I was hooked and couldn’t wait…
Type hash brown casserole into any search engine and you will likely come up with hundreds of recipes for this simple yet delicious dish. I always think of this as a southern dish since my favorite spots to enjoy it are cafes and restaurants that feature down-home southern-style menus. The Loveless Cafe kindly shares their Hashbrown Casserole recipe on their…
We’ve had the good fortune to receive a copy of The Master and His Apprentices: Art History from a Christian Perspective textbook and teacher’s guide created by The Master and His Apprentices to review. I had never heard about this company before but I have to say I have been impressed with the quality of their product. I don’t know about you but in…
Summer has arrived and with it the promise of lazy afternoons spent in the great outdoors. Whether we’re exploring nature in the stand of trees behind our house, watching for ducklings or goslings in the marsh or discovering new patches of wildflowers on the side of a country road, we love spending time together in the sunshine (and even…
