Lately Little Chef has started saying “I love you to the ocean” and we are not sure where he picked it up. Maybe he created it from his book about the little nutbrown hare who says he loves his mommy to the moon, or from the skinnamarinky song. Who knows.

Wedded Bliss Starts With Cake
Some recipes say stiff peaks and.. that is a lie! It will ruin your buttercream, and your dreams.
A year gone by
I thought about John’s birth quite a bit this week. They say you forget… and that’s why most people have a sibling.

I have been on my fair share of mild sketchy but mostly entertaining kijij animal purchasing endeavours so I know the drill.
