The last fleeting rays of sun and a glimpse of the rain that will soon overtake us. Yes, living on the west coast of BC is a very tropical experience. That is if you think of “rain forest” when you think of tropical and not water as warm as a bathtub and dewy skin all […]

Fall. Autumn. Time for leaves to be thrown, jumped in, raked and pressed between the pages of an overly heavy book. Time to relax and let it all go. Accept that winter is on it’s way and not spend too much time grumbling about the fact that it’s dark at 2pm. Okay, I’m exaggerating a

Hello there. Isn’t that a sexy face? How about this one? I guess this one is more of a pitiful face. It looks like someone beat him up. So what’s with the faces? This weekend we made our annual trip to get haircuts for the boys. We like to save a little moolah and only

Today, I was going to give you a little history behind me, Guilty Kitchen and the years leading up to my escapades in culinary extremism. You know, a sort of “here’s where I began” kind of post, with lots of pictures of me as a fat high schooler. Oh joy. Instead, I am going
Today is Thanksgiving…well, maybe it was yesterday actually. Here in Canada, sometimes holidays fall on Sunday and then the following day is given as a statutory holiday, giving people a choice in which day they want to celebrate on.

And a Giveaway! Wow! Look at that! Business cards! I feel so professional! Why am I showing you my business cards? Because I wanted to show them off, duh. Also I really felt like I needed to spread the word about the company who makes them, because they are fabulously amazing cards. Very sturdy, wood

Time is moving quickly in our house, as every parent knows it does and it’s not slowing down any time soon. The kids often play together on the floor while I keep a watchful eye from the kitchen. How they once stood apart from one another staring only with an uncaring eye, they now show

The cooling off period is here. Crisp evenings, dewy mornings and the crackle of fires and smoke filled air. Autumn is a season full of emotion for most people, scents, sounds, sights; they all conjure something different for everyone. My favourite part about autumn, besides the oversized sweaters, scarves and inevitable hallowe’en references is the food. Who can

Today begins a countdown of sorts. Today is four short days from my husbands 29th birthday. What seems like the birthday before the big birthday is really the birthday. This is the last year of the twenties, the last year that he can get away with being a young un, the last year of youth
