OH MER GERD OCTOBER IS OVER ON TUESDAY. INSERT PANIC AND PANDEMONIUM.
It’s Halloween!? DO ALL THE FALL FAMILY FUN!!! #BornOnTheFarm
Get in the Halloween Spirit with these Spooktacular Shows on Netflix #StreamTeam
I’ve been really busy this month, and as a result we don’t feel quite as in the Halloween spirit as we usually do, but I’ve got big plans to rectify that this weekend. It’s time for some pumpkin carving, pumpkin seed roasting, and Netflix-watching family time. I’ve got no intention of sharing my bed with…
What a Simple Virus Like HPV Can Do
When my doctor’s office called me back a couple weeks following a routine physical, I had a sick feeling of dread. “Irregular pap,” the doctor’s assistant said. Cervical cancer!? My mind panicked. But my mouth, fortunately, knew what to say. “What happens now?”
Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Cottage Cheese Spread
As I said in one of my previous posts (okay, maybe two), I’m a late-comer to appreciating cottage cheese. I don’t think I ever understood how versatile the product could be until I started messing around with it. You can substitute it for a lot of other cheeses like in lasagna, you can use it…
Will Your Child Be Canada’s Next Cartoonist?
For a long time, when I was a kid, I wanted to be some sort of an artist. Maybe an animator or just a famous painter. I drew a lot. My mom kept an uncomfortable number of drawings I made when I was 3. I kept doodling up until I was an adult, encouraged by…
My Son’s an Unequivocal Fan of Dwight Schrute and I’m Not Going to Apologize for It
Who knew that when I took away screen time, I would create a monster? It started innocently enough. My son was being a crabby little human being, who was watching annoying YouTubers using text to talk to say annoying things like “prankster gangster.” So I, in a moment of supreme mommy-ness, declared that screen and…
Why Amazeballs Lasagna Always Takes Time to Make #BornOnTheFarm
Garfield had it right: one of the world’s best foods is lasagna, and the world’s best lasagna is a homemade labour of love. If 30 minute dinners are the primary fodder for your existence, you’re totally missing out, because 30 minute dinners require a lot of extra help to taste amazing… usually in the form…
Let’s Call It What It Really Is: It’s Toasted Sweet Potato – And It’s Okay #BornOnTheFarm
Maybe you’ve heard of this so-called sweet potato toast thing. People have been going nerking futz putting photos on Instagram of slabs of toasted sweet potato piled sky high with all the toppings. This is something that, while interesting to me from a “hey that’d be cool for gluten free people” perspective, I had absolutely no interest…
10 New Netflix Shows For French Immersion Kids to Watch in the Summer of 2016
Last year, I did an article about shows on Canadian Netflix to help keep your grade-school-aged French Immersion child in practice over the summer break. Wow, was it surprisingly popular! I decided to do a new version for 2016, since a lot of new shows have come out!
Vegan Frozen Hot Chocolate #BornOnTheFarm
We’ve jumped straight from “winter” to “hotter than the devil’s armpits in summer” summer. I really have no commentary to add on this except… blargh. It’s hot. Fortunately, I have the cure for the summer heat with this icy chill frozen hot chocolate drink.
