Today I will be returning to visit Jim. Jim is not a friend. He is not a member of my family. In fact, he doesn't really exist. Jim is what I call my YMCA. Actually, it's more than that. Jim is who my YMCA is to me. I created the concept of "Jim" shortly after… Continue reading A steaming serving of guilt

Wanna get away?
To fully appreciate the hilarity of this story, you really had to be there. But - you can get an idea of it by watching the below video. My hubby and I were over at my sister's home getting ready for an evening of good food, friends, drinks and playing some Wii. Amy and I… Continue reading Wanna get away?

The quaint Bavarian village nestled… Continue reading On Canadian road trips, Lizzy is always right

As I departed my car and braced myself against the biting wind, I noticed a smell on the air blowing by me. Hot dogs. Oh… Continue reading You smell
Potato vs. French Fry
I've been attempting to lose the 40+ pounds I packed on during my recent pregnancy. I've been doing pretty well too. Eating right, hitting the gym 5 days a week. But last night - I'd had enough. All I wanted was McDonalds. Their new ad campaign is incredible and has been taunting me for over… Continue reading Potato vs. French Fry

This weekend I went to a birthday party. A roller skating birthday party. Actually, I took my niece to a roller skating birthday party. Her mom (my older sister) hasn't been feeling well lately, so in came her auntie to the rescue!! One of my other (I have three) sisters came with me so I… Continue reading Roller Skating
