Ford Flex Limited

During the first week of July, we had use of a Ford Flex Limited, a media fleet vehicle from Ford Canada, which just happened to be built at the Oakville Assembly Plant. Our week was full of learning about a new vehicle and adventures as I drove my family around in style. I had previously posted about our Road Trip ideas when I knew we would be getting the Ford Flex. The Ford Flex Limited gives you the opportunity to travel in comfort and style with your  family and has all the bells … Continue reading →

Barefoot Sandals

I am not a shoe person, I prefer bare feet. The only time I really wear shoes is when I have to go out. Now  that summer is here, it gives me the perfect opportunity to wear my barefoot sandals. I couldn’t wait to get out to a pool or beach to try them out. I recently started making bracelets with beads I was given as a gift. Years ago I had an anklet, it was similar to the Barefoot sandals but I only had one. So I created my own, … Continue reading →

Blueberry Bundt Cake

I have had a bundt cake pan for some time now and haven’t used it yet. I decided that I had to do something about that.  I went into the kitchen and routed through the fridge and cupboards to see what I could come up with. I decided on a blueberry bundt cake. I always have blueberries, it’s our favourite fruit. I always try to make something we will all eat. My daughter is picky but she loves blueberries and cake and of course likes to help this Mama Bear bake. … Continue reading →

Telling Time

It has been quite some time since I last had a watch around my wrist. I have been using a cell phone to find out the time. I am tired of always having it in my hand or pulling it out when I need to know the time. When I first saw a wood watch from JORD, I was intrigued by its uniqueness. It is definitely the watch to get me telling time and making memories. When the opportunity to receive a watch to review, I was more than happy … Continue reading →

It’s no secret I like cheesecake and when it comes to no-bake, I am even happier.  This past week I decided it was time for a cheesecake. I like to try out different flavours with ingredients I have in the kitchen. I always have extra blueberries, whether they be fresh or frozen, so I decided to make a blueberry cheesecake instead of our usual smoothies. Normally I don’t add a sauce, but I will add fruit to my cheesecakes.  This time round, I wanted a bit of both so I decided … Continue reading →

It has been weeks that I have been saying I was going to make banana bread, but just never seemed to get around to it. Yesterday was a bit cooler than it had been so I decided it was the perfect time to turn on the oven and make the loaf. Instead of the usual regular loaf, I decided to make it Chocolate Banana Bread. We always have ripe bananas around and we love banana bread. My daughter loves bananas but for some reason, she won’t eat banana bread. Well, … Continue reading →

Dairy Milk

Each day there is some sort of conflict going on in the Food industry, we all have our own opinions and views on dairy milk. I am not trying to change a view but point out the facts and direct people to the right information for Canadian consumers. In April 2016, while attending the BConnected conference, one of the keynote speakers was Amy Matheson, an Ontario Dairy farmer. She spoke about life on a dairy farm and Dairy Farmers of Canada, the Farm-to-table process of dairy milk. Dairy Milk – Farm-to-Table Farm-to-Table … Continue reading →
