Wanna toilet train your cat? Tame a chipmunk? Make a toast? Then you’re in the right place. Oh! Want to learn how to fold a tee shirt Japanese style? ALSO in the right place. This is all the stuff that doesn’t really fit anywhere else. The misfits of the website. These are the cast aways, the downtrodden. In truth, these are a few of my favourite things …

Your Perfect Summertime Meal

by Karen on May 23, 2013

If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time you know I have a thing for food. I like it. I like food a lot. I like making it, I like growing it, I like eating it. Which may seem like a normal thing, but there are people around who don’t really seem [...]

Decorating with Photoshop

by Karen on May 22, 2013

Hate. I don’t use the word hate casually. I reserve it for things deserving of the harshness it implies. Things like war and inequality and ingrown hairs. So it means a lot when I say that I *hate* my dining room mirror.  I hate it.  It’s gross.  I bought it at Costco years ago and [...]

Happy Victoria Day.
Let’s celebrate with a Canada themed giveaway!

by Karen on May 19, 2013

THIS … is Queen Victoria. We in Canada are remembering the Mother of Confederation and celebrating her birthday today with the day off, BBQs (grilling to y’all), 2-4′s (cases of beer) and fireworks. Truth is, I was speaking to one of my sisters about this the other day and neither one of us really understood [...]

The Coop Cam Day 5!
Free for all.

by Karen on May 16, 2013

Nothing special for you today in terms of the chickens so I can have an actual full day off without worrying about repositioning the camera or running out to see if they’re laying an egg. Enjoy your final day of The Coop Cam and I’ll see you all on Monday, which is a holiday in [...]

The Coop Cam Day 4!
Will they lay an egg?

by Karen on May 15, 2013

Today I’m going to make a concerted effort to keep an eye on the chickens and their egg laying habits. *IF* I happen to notice there are only 3 hens where there should be 4, that means one of them has escaped to the nesting box to relieve themselves. If that’s the case, I’ll rush [...]

The Coop Cam Day 3!
The Compost Pile.

by Karen on May 14, 2013

Here we go again! Coop Cam. Sorry if this is getting boring for you. Although I can’t imagine how. A few nights ago I was having a terrible night. Probably one of the worst nights of my life and I brought up the Coop Cam and watched my girls as they got tucked into bed [...]

Coop Cam.
Will they Eat it? LIVE!

by Karen on May 12, 2013

If you read Friday’s post then you know I’m on vacation this week, but … you’re still getting posts courtesy of the chickens and my new Coop Cam. The Coop Cam goes live at 9:00 a.m. E.S.T today!  Not a great day to do this.  It’s May 13th and what should be a beautiful time [...]

I’m going on vacation!
But the chickens will keep you entertained.

by Karen on May 10, 2013

I’ve officially had it. I’m done. I need a vacation. Don’t misunderstand; I love my job. I literally wake up every single morning excited about what I’m going to do that day. I write, I photograph, and I create all day long. Every day. Every single day of my life. Day in and day out. [...]

Bloggers! Make money with Amazon.

by Karen on May 7, 2013

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 [...]

My Backyard in Style at Home.
I can show it to you now.

by Karen on May 5, 2013

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 [...]

Potato Potatoh

by Karen on May 2, 2013

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 [...]
