I hardly consider my love for Australian cattle dogs to be a secret. My family has owned and loved them since I was a young girl, and now Blaine and I have one of our own; Lenny is an Australian cattle dog mix, but I still think she fits the blue heeler criteria, even if … More Let’s talk about Australian cattle dogs
If I had to guess, I imagine most of us are familiar with raccoons. When I say familiar, I am inclined to think that most of us have at least seen an image of these furry friends, and there are plenty of us who see them on a semi-regular basis. I’ve always found raccoons to … More How much do you know about raccoons?
Spring may officially be upon us, but the weather here in Ontario, Canada, isn’t exactly reflective of this as of late. In fact, I’m pretty sure this period of time is when a lot of us fall victim to the cold, miserable grasp of a variety of delightful colds and viruses, and chest infections are … More Here’s how to tame a chest infection (part two)
I sincerely hope someone appreciates the title of today’s post. Is it corny? Yes. Did I literally chuckle as I typed it out? Yes. No ragrets. My former statement is a reference to the widely popular film We’re the Millers, in case anyone was concerned about my welfare regarding the spelling of the word ‘regrets.’ … More Get ‘otter’ here!
If you can tell me right now, with a straight face, that you are not a fan of otters, do me a favour and find yourself the nearest dumpster and clamber up inside, head first. Please suppress any impulse to remove oneself from said dumpster until your perception of otters has changed, or, until you’ve … More Let’s talk about otters
I promise I won’t do a series pertaining to the many uses for apple cider vinegar as I did for baking soda. I could, but I digress. That is, after today’s post. My mom and sister gave me the impression that my baking soda saga was a wee bit excessive in terms of its duration, … More How do you use apple cider vinegar? (part two)
I’ve definitely discussed apple cider vinegar here on my blog before, but I don’t believe I really went into detail regarding the many different ways it can be used to achieve a variety of outcomes. Years ago, I drank a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a day for a few months. This stuff offers a … More How do you use apple cider vinegar?
While an unfortunate reality, I would wager that more of us than not have dealt with a narcissist, or narcissists, and on more than one occasion. Anyone who has familiarity or experience with a narcissist will arguably attest to the fact that they’re vile specimens, and despite how absolutely fucking awful they are, there are … More Tips for dealing with a narcissist
I do ask that you grant me the opportunity to acknowledge the title of today’s post and state that by no means do I intend to communicate any disrespect toward anyone in poverty. If I might add, I think it’s a wee bit sad I have to acknowledge this regardless, but given the state of … More Here’s how to make a poor man’s burrito bowl
This past weekend, Blaine and I had friends of ours over to see our home and have dinner. They saw our home prior to the completion of renovations, and further, the incorporation of furniture and other decor, so we figured it was due time to have them back out for them to see the progress … More Make this for dinner tonight
We’re on a roll, and we ain’t stopping now. I do ask that you please refrain from taking my previous assertion a little too seriously. The ideology of being on a roll can apply to a wide variety of things, but for the sake of this post and its subject matter, we are on a … More The baking soda chronicles (part five)
Aaaaaaand we’re back. Today marks the fourth installment in my baking soda saga, and as I stated in yesterday’s post, I’m not entirely sure how long this theme will continue. I figure because baking soda is so versatile in its uses, these posts are beneficial for just about everyone, hence why this subject has been … More The baking soda chronicles (part four)
We meet again, my friends. Here we are, three days later, still conversing about baking soda. I could honestly compose 20 separate posts detailing baking soda and the creative and ingenious ways it can be used for a vast array of purposes, but I don’t want to bore anyone. I feel as though the brain … More The baking soda chronicles (part three)
There isn’t a chance in hell that I would successfully encapsulate all things baking soda in one single post. The stuff is far too incredible in regard to its nature and all of the ways in which it can be used to contain its subject matter in one minuscule blog post; instead, I thought I … More The baking soda chronicles (part two)
I firmly believe there are far too many people in this world who are entirely unaware of the tremendous potential and capabilities of baking soda. I imagine the majority of us use baking soda primarily for baking, with using it for cleaning purposes coming in hot as the secondary use for it. Buckle up, folks, … More Let’s hear it for baking soda
Yesterday’s post provided all of you with some information pertaining to how to go about composing some homemade dog treats, so it really is only fair that today’s post provides you with that same information, only this time, in the context of cats. I’m not someone who believes that people are either cat or dog … More Here’s how to make homemade cat treats
For anyone who owns a dog, you’re arguably aware of how important treats are for your pupper. Dogs are God-sent creatures that are far too pure and wonderful to be without treats, and so we as their owners must do our due diligence and ensure our doggos are receiving treats whenever necessary. Most of us … More Here’s how to make homemade dog treats
I said in yesterday’s post that today’s would again cover some very incidental facts affiliated with the musical genre known as rock and roll, and here we are. I try to keep my posts around 300 words or less so as not to lose anyone’s attention, therefore I won’t be including each and every fact … More … and some more absolutely random rock and roll facts
I’ve mentioned once or twice here on my blog that it can be a tad difficult at times to try and brainstorm ideas for a post without being redundant or writing on a topic I have already. Considering I post to my blog daily, it makes sense; while I like to think I’m slightly creatively … More Check out some purely arbitrary rock and roll music facts
Poor circulation is an inconvenience a lot of us face in our daily lives. Whether it be in your hands, feet, legs or elsewhere, dealing with shitty circulation ain’t fun, nor is it the easiest thing to combat, or even alleviate. Personally, I’ve hit the genetic lottery when it comes to inheriting traits from my … More Poor circulation? Read this
As you’re probably aware, today, February 14, is Valentine’s Day. Often referred to as ‘the day of love’ (which is slightly questionable because I feel as though love should be recognized and celebrated every day), common associations with today include flowers, chocolates, and often creepy stuffed animals holding tiny hearts in their weird, little stuffed … More Happy Valentine’s Day
When my Oma and Opa were still here with us Earth-side, towards the end of their lives, they found themselves living in Hamilton. They lived in a retirement home, and once a week, my mom would head to the Hammer to visit with them, run any errands then required, etc. I was in university during … More Read this if you’re a fan of Vietnamese spring rolls
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but in case I haven’t, allow me this opportunity to inform you all that Blaine works on his family’s cattle farm. It’s a beef operation, meaning the cattle aren’t exclusively Holstein for producing milk; rather, these cows are a variety of breeds and are raised for consumption. Being … More Let’s make homemade hamburgers
I’ll admit I perhaps wasn’t entirely aware of each and every benefit the consumption of spinach offers, but here we are with a part two post. Apparently, spinach is one hell of a superfood, so much so that it requires two separate posts to cover all of the wonderful advantages that come with eating it. … More Let’s hear it for spinach, again (part two)
If you’ve been around the block a time or two, you’re probably aware of the fact that spinach is considered to be a superfood. Superfoods are foods that go above and beyond in terms of the nutrients they offer, and spinach is one of the more well-known superfoods if I had to guess. I mean, … More Let’s hear it for spinach (part one)
I won’t go so far as to say the title of today’s post is an improvement from yesterday’s, but I do think it’s slightly less corny. I could be completely wrong and it is possible today’s title is, in fact, even worse than yesterday’s, but I like to be as optimistic as possible, so let’s … More Bear with me…
While I wouldn’t go so far as to say my cooking can compete with the likes of Ina Garten, I will say that I’m not as terrible in the kitchen as I may have made myself to believe. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with cooking and baking, and my parents were kind … More Try your hand at some homemade pizza
I feel as though one could strongly argue that there are two types of people in this world; ones who love and adore goats, and others who don’t, likely because they’ve had an unfortunate encounter with one or something along those lines. At least, that’s the only reason I can come up with as to … More Get your goat on
My husband is a tremendous fan of Bits and Bits, specifically the barbeque flavour, which can be tricky to find. His ultimate preference, however, is his mom’s homemade Bits and Bits, and understandably so; I have yet to consume anything my mother-in-law has prepared that is anything shy of phenomenal, and her Bits and Bites … More Here’s how to make your own Bits and Bites
Eder abuse, for anyone unfamiliar with the term, is rather adequately explained within its own title – directing abusive behaviour towards an elderly person, whether it be mental, physical or emotional, is considered elder abuse. I would argue that when the majority of us contemplate what is considered to be elder abuse, we picture blatant, … More Examining the concept of elder abuse
