Helllloooo! It has been a few weeks not writing. I have been working some pretty crazy hours lately which means no time to write. Which also means no quality time with my husband! This is why last night we decided to go out for dinner at Portovino Ristorante in the West Island of Montreal. It is a bring your own wine restaurant, which Jason and I did. It was the first...

We have all been there, time to clean the stove top. We i have just tried, what I think, is the best tool to help you clean it! I used to scrub and scrub and I was never able to take off those burn circles around my burners. My Stove top just did not look clean. I decided to try something to help. I picked up a package of the Vileda Glass Ceramic Scrunge to see if it...

We all have our own comfort food and for me a nice grill cheese brings back a lot of good memories and is always easy to make. This recipe will add a twist on the regular grill cheese sandwich we are used to having or making. I use four different cheeses in this recipe and I hope you get a chance to try it!

You ever wake up, it’s raining out and you say “ah, it’s raining, the day is shot!”? Well for me a rainy day come with mixed blessings. On one hand, yes you can’t do much outdoors BUT on the other hand you have the chance to either clean up inside the house or just relax. So many things that can be done around the house, vacuum, dishes, garbage’s,...

We have all been there, you get home from a long days work, start to prepare dinner and that’s when it starts… Telemarketers know that you’re home, busy, distracted and most likely willing to do anything to get off the phone! It’s happened to me so many times that I want to share how I deal with telemarketers. I want to share my top ten answers...

The 2010 World Cup started yesterday and everybody who knows me understands that there are some days where I will not be available….Many people are showing their support for their favorite team and I am no different. This is Greece’s second world cup appearance and I will be mentally blocked out from the world for each game they play! You have been warned...

Just got back from filling up my cart with Royale toilet paper. On sale this week at Maxi! I don’t know about you but I am always on the lookout for toilet paper sales! I was a few rolls away from running out completely but I was holding out for a good sale! Toilet paper can be so expensive… sometimes I see it at around $10 for 24 rolls! Way way too much!...

I’m tired….. I hate it when those words come out of my mouth! And to be honest I hate it when they come out of anyone’s mouth! Why do we do this to ourselves? Why are we always tired and always complaining of being tired? If we are tired then shouldn’t we just sleep? My hubby tells me that I torture myself some nights trying to stay awake and...

We all like making smart purchases and when thinking of items to buy for the house, you need to do your research and be smart. One thing to consider when making a purchase is how much the item will be used, daily, weekly, monthly….this plays an important role in how much you could spend on an item. Very simple, buy quality for items you use daily! For example, you...

“Lower the blinds!!!” “Close the window!” “Shut the door!” These are all sentences I have yelled at my husband recently as I dart into other rooms, down the hallway, back into the bathroom or even hit the deck for cover. Our cozy home is a bungalow… something I am not used to. Growing up I lived in a two level house with a...
