As a blogger I’m always trying to find ways to make money through my website. It’s how I make my living now, so it’s kind of necessary. Because eating is kind of necessary. A year or so ago I introduced you to the Secret World of Blog Advertising. I went over all the different things [...]
I was an odd kid. I dreaded going to birthday parties, loved hammering, and took a typing course at the local highschool when I was 11. For fun. What tween doesn’t love office supplies and such? I’ve matured now. Grown up a bit. I now dread going to New Year’s Eve parties, love hammering and [...]
Yesterday was a very sad day indeed. While I was checking out at the grocery store I noticed that the new issue of Style at Home was out. Which meant the old issue of Style at Home was off the shelves. The old issue you see featured my backyard in it. With the magazine off [...]
Look. These things aren’t gonna plant themselves. I must leave you early today so I can plant my potatoes. May 1st is traditionally the first day for putting in potatoes in these parts so I’m already behind. For weeks I’ve been a walking filth bucket, what with the mini renovations going on and I need [...]
In case you were away, or sick of me, or having a hernia operation, or praying, or meditating, or knitting a leisure suit for your pet mouse … and missed some of last month’s posts … I have for you … There were other good things too. Like, The 10 Reasons Why I think I [...]
I know it seems ridiculous, but I figured while I was doing all these renovations I might as well put in an ensuite. We only have one toilet in the house and with that one being ripped out for the renovations, installing a quick ensuite seemed almost mandatory. It [...]
I want a goat. Now, I realize that I can’t have one, but I’d still like to list the reasons I think it’s important for me to have a goat. 1. Because I really, really, really want one. 2. The Goat would keep the chickens company when I’m away. 3. Goat’s are cute. When you [...]
Last summer, the folks at Bogs sent me a GoPro Camera to capture some video of what I do around here on a typical day. So I strapped it on and went about my business. After months of waiting to see how it turned out, the video is done. The Bogs creative team did a [...]
Prepare to be stunned and amazed. Something to pass on to others this weekend. If in 10 minutes from now you figure out how it’s done … don’t write it in the comments. Leave the fun of figuring it out to everyone else too. Have a good weekend!
It’s spring! Or something like spring anyway. It took a long time coming to Southern Ontario but I believe now that we’re a week away from May, spring has finally arrived. There are a few things that I always have around the house for spring. Hyacinths, delicious sandwiches with crunchy greens in them and [...]
The title of this post is a bit misleading. You will indeed need to peel a potato again at some point in your life. I don’t know why, and I don’t know when, but it will happen. You just won’t need to peel a potato to make mashed potatoes again. Ever. I’ve mentioned the potato [...]
A couple of weekends ago the fella and I were deciding what to do for the day. Actually that’s a lie. I’ve started off with a lie. We weren’t lounging around the house deciding what to do like a happily ever after couple. The fella was off somewhere doing something and I was off [...]
