My family eats a lot of traditional New York style cheesecake. Have you ever made one? They’re the super heavy (yet delicious…) cheesecakes that you bake. And they almost ALWAYS end up with a massive crack in the middle. The great thing about this pumpkin cheesecake is that since you aren’t going to be baking it, there is no cracking whatsoever. It’s creamy and smooth, with just the right pumpkin flavour....

It was an amazing Christmas for our little family of five this year!

I have a confession: I’m obsessed with the dollar store. I literally get giddy when I leave the store with a bag of goodies that I scored for only $1.

I’m so excited to finally have a place that is just ours, and we’ve spent the last few weeks since we got the keys making it our own. We’ve painted every room in the house, ripped out the bedroom carpet and refinished the floors, and bought a new patio dining set so we can eat outside....

My towels are about 8 years old. They’re still in decent shape so I don’t want to buy new ones until I have to. Every time I get out of the shower, I grab my towel, dry my face off, and take a big whiff of my towel expecting the luxurious smell of sunshine and roses. I do it pretty much every time I shower, and it never smells like that....

My husband made fun of me when I was using the rolling pin. Why he knows how to use a rolling pin and I don’t, I have no idea!? I think it was payback for him – he stood behind me, looking over my shoulder saying “that’s not how you’re supposed to use a rolling pin!” (That doesn’t sound anything like what I’d say about how he stacks the dishwasher, makes dinner, or puts away the groceries… Ha!...

In the past, most of my kids’ craft ideas (such as this fake flower craft) have been geared towards girls because I had three daughters so girls were all I knew.
