vice

While we're usually very careful and conscious of what we eat in this house, today I just couldn't resist picking up my all-time favourite complete junk treat, which I haven't had in a long, long time. Strawberry Toaster Strudels. Every bit as delicious as I remembered.

when all else fails...

post a picture of Phillip saying (in a Dr Nick Riviera voice) "Hi, everybody!"

Really, nothing new or exciting has been going on around here, aside from my maniacal purging of stuff. Which is exciting, I guess, because it feels so good to get rid of so much unused stuff. If someone else can enjoy it, all the better. (Yay, Freecycle!) I've completely cleaned out my desk and all of my craft supplies this week, have gone through all of Phillip's clothes and things, cleaned our games cubby, and on and on it goes.

I have some crafty projects in my future, so hopefully I'll be posting some of them soon.

Happy Thanksgiving to any American readers, by the way! Enjoy your weekend!

yay! let's move to Ontario

I just read here that they're considering banning bisphenol A (a carcinogen found in many baby bottles, sippy cups, and other plastics) altogether in Ontario. That's a great start. Now it just has to go through, be implemented, and applied to the rest of the world.

christmas cards

I've resolved that this holiday season, I will not buy any gift wrap, cards, ribbons, paper, etc., but will use what I have (which turns out to be much more than I realized)! I cleaned out all of my craft supplies and gave a big bag of things away on Freecycle before getting started on the cards. I've also resolved (if something so vague can be called a resolution) to make this holiday more meaningful by buying less, focusing less on gifts, and just enjoying family and friends.
