Children are scared of all sorts of things. I remember thinking there were mummies in my bedroom closet at the age of 10, and my Mom coming in to rid my room of these intruders, dressed as an Archaeologist, and singing something about “Mummy-Busters.” Perhaps monster spray also would have worked in that particular instance?

A favorite place of ours has always been the University of Guelph’s Arboretum. In fact, we like it so much, that we were married there, and we visit often year-round! While I will admit that I prefer it in the warm sunny months of May through September, with the Lilacs in full bloom or the [...]
As part of my regular afternoon routine, in between diaper changes, playtime and trying to figure out what on earth to make for dinner, I watched Oprah yesterday. I was so shocked by what I saw on this particular show, that I am still troubled by it. The show was about the aftermath of Hurricane [...]
I often dream of returning to Nova Scotia, where Stuart and I spent a week on our honeymoon in 2002. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world, so abundant with history, charming, friendly people and of course, the ocean is spectacular. We began our journey in Halifax. The ferry trip between [...]
It seems as though today, we are having our very own “mini-ice-storm” right here in Guelph! I took this picture out of our back window a few minutes ago (hoping to catch the perfectly timed lightening shot) but of course, that’s just way too much to expect really. Given that there is any lightening at [...]
Illness sure has taken it’s toll on the Robertson household this week! First, our Son Liam was sick on Thursday and Friday. Two days later it was my turn, and I still find myself feeling somewhat unwell while I recover and avoid certain foods. I know Butter Chicken and other curries will not be on [...]
Before I was overtaken by illness that rendered me useless for 2 days, Stuart and I had gone out on a date to enjoy the BeeGees/Neil Diamond concert here in town. As we walked into the theatre, I made a snarky comment to Stuart that we were the youngest people there, and that I hoped [...]
Here is a recipe I found on-line, and modified slightly. It was absolutely delicious, and a very authentic tasting Pad Thai. In finding the ingredients for it, I got to make a trip to the Asian Market and get a Coconut Bun as a treat!!! I took this picture of the finished dish…it yields about [...]
While I do have a washer, dryer and other modern conveniences that prevent me from having to do my laundry by beating the clothes on a rock, today I felt like a Wild Washerwoman. I have never in my life done so many loads of laundry in one day! I will surely swoon at the [...]
