Winters can be harsh and, in some places, blizzards and snow can totally block your driveways and garages. A well insulated and warm garage can be the ideal place for work or storage during winter. Cold weather can be unpredictable, the temperatures sometimes drop to frightening-lows and all that there is left to do is stay indoors and prepare to plow snow the next morning. Garages are often the space you use for not only parking your car, but to store an assortment of mis

Crisp fresh air, cold noses, and warm fuzzy sweaters can only mean one thing – fall is here! This past weekend, I indeed pulled on a warm, fuzzy sweater, went outside and inhaled the crisp, fresh air. I soon had a cold nose. Yep, fall is upon us and so is garden clean up time.

They remind me of the colour of spices... warm, fragrant, and enticing spices - and spices remind me of cooking, which makes me think of the kitchen, which in turn reminds me I haven’t cleaned up my spice cabinet for quite a while! Do you regularly check your spices for expiration dates? We always hear about Spring Cleaning, but what a

I spent the past weekend at the cottage enjoying the last long weekend of ‘summer like weather’. Mother Nature cooperated and gifted us with gorgeous weather, a soft breeze, and incredible fall foliage. A good time was had by all who attended our Thanksgiving get-together. We ate, laughed, reminisced, recalled old memories, and made new ones. As the day faded into dusk, we said our good-byes and promised to meet again next year – same place, same time. It was with a ting

Can you believe summer is over? Where has it gone? As much as I hate to see summer fade, I do love the fall and all it has to offer. The gorgeous fall flowers, the incredible fall foliage, the delicious smell of apple pie cooking, and the fresh, crisp air. Time to put away the summer things and get ready for cooler weather ahead. This long weekend gives us just what we need to do that - an extra day we can devote to organizing. Time to declutter and put things in order so w
