I remember when I first started my Facebook Page for Curtains are Open. A friend had suggested it might be a way for folks to keep up-to-date with posts as I wrote them on my “brand new blog.” I started Continue reading The woman in the window…
I’ve one Chapter left. A chapter where I’m unsure if, after finishing, I’ll be the same. This weekend, Fancy and I traded a few books and I posted a photo on my Facebook Page, asking which one I should start Continue reading Still Alice…

There’s nothing like getting new business cards! Your brand new title clearly listed on 3.5 x 2 inch cardstock…all lined up neatly in that blue cardboard box! The smell of fresh printing bringing you back to the days when your Continue reading New Business Cards!
I’m not a “foodie..” The fact is, I’ve never been that fantastic in the kitchen except for maybe a handful of things…and it’s not that I can’t do it…it’s that I don’t enjoy it! However, I have this salad and Continue reading {From My Kitchen} Tortellini Pasta Salad
I’m absolutely loving the Tumblr site “Where Bloggers Blog!” This was my submission…and I’m getting quite a kick out of seeing where other bloggers spend their time! Check it out @ http://wherebloggersblog.tumblr.com/

Spiderman’s Back to School Photo – First Day of High School. No other words are needed. (Hence, my first “Wordless Wednesday”)
My plan, as part of the Downtown Halifax Business Commission’s “Big Day Downtown” (an annual event where bloggers head out to explore Downtown Halifax with $150 pre-paid Visa card), was to spend a fabulous day with my kids…outside…meandering among the Continue reading Big Day Downtown – Experience It All…
Remember when I won the Best of the Coast award last year! How I was beat out by two awesome Fashion Bloggers to win Bronze and then realized that maybe I shouldn’t wear converse sneakers all the time but who Continue reading Best of Halifax 2013…
Last night, while laying in bed on our final night in the little rented cottage…as the rain pitter pattered on my roof…it suddenly began dripping on my forehead! I was in the middle of a conversation with a boy when Continue reading It’s raining men…
One of the things I enjoyed about this blog was my monthly “Queen’s Update.” Seeing the posts all laid out before me and what’s transpired in the month since I wrote them. Well, life got busy and while I’m told Continue reading Queen’s 23rd Update…
This morning, I walked down the stairs and much to my surprise…as I opened the door to put out the dog…I smelled fresh air for the first time in FOREVER! A huge whiff of glorious air. My sense of smell Continue reading Something in the air…

There is NOTHING WORSE than a “Honey-Do” list without the honey. The dreaded list, the length of my arm, is an accumulation of a winter’s worth of dirt and grime. A month back…Snuff and Spiderman attacked the back yard. Picked Continue reading Honey-Do List (with a giveaway!)
Ever have one of those weekends where you’re left needing to kick yourself in the arse? Well…not so much Saturday…Saturday was actually a day where I got plenty accomplished but yesterday…well, maybe we should refer to it as “not-so-funday Sunday.” Continue reading It’s a jungle out there…
