Adult Pizza Party

If you like to have friends over for dinner, but would rather spend time with them mingling than slaving all alone in the kitchen, this is the party for you.

The beauty of this simple party theme is that all the prep is done ahead of time.

Hawaiian Style Pork & Pineapple Kebobs

a little taste of summer on a plate

hawaiian style kebobs

These days the weather is still nice enough to keep my BBQ going.  On a weeknight, when there is little time for fuss, these kebobs are quick to prepare while packing a big punch of flavour.  Even better, they are great the next day in a lunch salad, stuffed in a pita or served as a leftover dinner over some rice or pasta.  I love to use pork tenderloin as my choice of protein as it is a really lean cut of meat, i can often find it on sale and it cooks very quickly.  When I can find it on sale, I like to buy an extra piece to throw into the freezer.  Here’s a

Erin Trafford is a former radio and television broadcast journalist turned DIY blogger; who's obsessed with all things paint and power tools. She's made over entire rooms for less than $500, is frequently seen hauling dilapidated furniture off the curb, and is incredibly proud of the day she decided to nail her old back yard fence to her basement wall.

She love dogs, cats, Han Solo and pie – probably in that order. Erin and her (incredibly patient) husband Dan bought their little house by the sea in 2013, just outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia. They have been working tirelessly since then to turn it into a castle, one project and one blog post at a time. You can find all their bloggy and house adventures over at DIY Passion. This year they are adding a baby into the blogging and DIY mix, expecting the arrival of their first child in the Fall.

For My Son On His 18th Birthday

You've reached an age where you're labeled an adult and free from the clutches of your controlling, protective mother. But let me leave you with these words...

For My Son On His 18th Birthday

letter to my son on his 18th birthday

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and sometimes even an urban community in the big city! Tricia is a proud city girl and single mom of two born performers. A Public Relations executive by day, Tricia juggles motherhood and a demanding career by relying on music, humour and the occasional getaway to Las Vegas :) She works for an international firm in the Consumer Marketing PR practice and is fueled by creativity and possibility.

Tricia went to school to specialize as a child and youth counselor and worked with at-risk youth before getting into PR. She sits on the Board of Directors for Presenting Our Vision (POV), a registered charity that assists economically and socially marginalized youth gain the skills and experience needed to secure employment in film, television and commercial production.

A singer/songwriter on the side, Tricia is always up for an impromptu performance ... whether that be a professional gig or a night of karaoke or sitting at her desk at work. Ask her about the time she sang for Prince Andrew, which Weasley twin invited her to see his band play and why Valerie Pringle calls Tricia her avatar.

This Is What It Was Like to Be a Child In the 1940s

And the big difference between past and present generations

This Is What It Was Like To Be A Child In The 1940s

I grew up in the 40s without television to distract me or CNN to scare me. News didn’t travel as fast back then, so my parents and I were not traumatized by horrendous tales of kids being murdered or kidnapped when allowed outside unattended.
