We are on a road trip to South Carolina but I simply had to share this recipe with you all while I'm gone. Recently I was running a bit late in my day which meant that I was still working on my Fuzzy Navel Mocktail recipe when my daughters arrived home from school. The girls always love when this happens, I allow them to get involved and taste test each and every mixture. It does slow me down but it becomes somewhat of a family event. Once I was finished, I left all of the fruit and other ...

#Inspiredto Get Into the Olympic Spirit – Win a Coca-Cola Prize Pack
When I was a girl, our home was filled with Olympic spirit! My parents emigrated from England before I was born and we were a family with loyal traditions. Every 4 years we would hang the Canadian and Union Jack flags and sit in front of the telly to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremonies no matter what time of day it was. Screams for athletes from England and Canada rang from our home into the streets. Each of the games holds different fond family memories for me which can be ignited simply by ...
1st Time on a Cruise – Planning a Cruise With Carnival #CCLWinter
My husband has always wanted to go on a cruise, but living in Canada we thought it would be out of our budget when facing some hefty airfares to reach the port.

February is a BIG month for me personally, this week I'll turn 41 and celebrate being 4 years sober! I was born on February 9th and I adore Birthday celebrations so it's been the month to wait for since I was a little girl. Little Julie was known to have a Birthday countdown going from mid-August, happily sharing the daily status until it drove my Mum and Dad batty. I remember the year I was 8 years old I kept a calendar next to my bed and each night I'd put a red X across the day with ...
They Stole My Mojo & Left Me With Wet Wipes – Joys of Motherhood
This weekend has reminded me why I'll never qualify for the June Cleaver award or any other motherhood award. Deep within my soul I do have a talent for organizing and managing schedules. Apparently the rest of life is sitting in front of it so this talent hasn't a chance to flourish. Or so I tell myself. Honestly, when I had children it all began so innocently. With our first born I had those mini-baby socks all paired, sheets were properly folded with the fitted corners tucked into each ...
