Interview with the creator of BonHommes: Love, Smiling and Compassion I was introduced to Carole last week. We share a mutual friend, and after looking at her Facebook page, I just fell in love with her work. After watching her interview on the Global News, I knew that I just HAD to get my hands…
The Heir
“It has been said time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind protecting its sanity covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it’s never gone.” – Rose Kennedy The Heir Below is a painting done by my good friend Jason. It is called “The Heir”….
December 2013: Let it Snow
The long awaited December warmer and the scent of the month are finally here! December’s scent of the month is Spiced Berries “Frankincense and myrrh waft beneath decadent berries to create a timeless scent.” If I had to describe this scent in one word, it would be “Christmas-say”. When I warmed it up, I could…
Art Life
Today I wanted to do another interview about Art Life. This interview is dear to my heart because I’m interviewing my dear friend Jason. I met Jason in high school, many many…many years ago. We had Mr. Holt English class together. We lost touch after high school but thanks to Myspace, and later on Facebook,…
The Monster on the Wall
In 2009 I went back to work after taking a year off work for maternity. It wasn’t the easiest decision giving the fact that I was still breastfeeding at the time and my son would refuse to drink the breast milk from a bottle (spoil, I tell ya!). Leaving him was tough at first but I was lucky…
Confession of a multitasker
Hi, my name is Marielle and I like to start 100 projects at once till I get so overwhelmed that I quit. There, I admit it. I have a problem. Which I’m working diligently on correcting…I tell myself is it “multitasking” but I’m only fooling myself. For the past two weeks I’ve been doing…
Owl always love you: My owl collections!
The other day my sister asked me “What’s with you and owls?” Which made me stop for a second and ponder on that question. “What’s with owls and me? When did I even start liking them so much?” To be honest, I don’t quite know WHEN or WHY I started to be obese with owls. I…
Homemade potato soup
I’ve been meaning to write a post about our family’s new “favorite meal” for weeks now. Finally today I have the time to share our new found love with potato soup. The story behind my love for potato soup. The first time I had potato soup was back in 2005. My sister and I…
A Remembrance Day Scentsy Warmer (Service and Sacrifice)
Remembrance Day is very special here in Canada. I didn’t learn about Remembrance Day till I came back to Montreal in 2005. Having been raised in Florida from the age of 13-20, I’m more familiar with the story behind Veterans day. Today, I would like to show you the Remembrance Day Scentsy Warmer. A Remembrance Day…
My First Owl
So it took me close to 2 weeks to complete my owl, but it is DONE! Sewing is NOT easy! My sewing knowledge comes from 7th grade Home Ec. (I will not mention how long ago THAT was). So I took to Youtube for some help. I had the pattern, got the color felt…
November 2013
*Drum roll* November’s scent and warmer of the month are: Christmas Tree “A glorious gold star crowns a lush fir tree decorated in red and green” Clementine Clove “A bright medley of aromatic citrus with clove and a hint of balsam.” For the past two months, I have not signed up for the…
Our Pumpkin is better than yours!
Ok, not really. BUT, we did have fun carving out our pumpkin. I was overseeing the carving and taking pictures. As usual! =) I love these moments that I get to enjoy with these two crazies! Check out the pictures of our pumpkin! Oh how original Babe….*roll eyes* We thought it would be more fun…
Costume Dilemma: Maybe I should be spider-man next time!
Last minute requests from my son and now we are facing a costume dilemma! Why couldn’t have asked to be Spider-Man or something?! Costume Dilemma: Maybe I should be Spider-man next time! For the past 2 Halloweens, my son has insisted on being a Transformer. So imagine how excited I was when one day he randomly…
I have enough buttons, said No button lover ever!
I’ve never been able to get rid of spare buttons. I figured I owed that to my underlying hoarding problem. But about six months ago I went to a church bazaar and came across a jar filled with white buttons (over 200) for 1$. So although I was there to make money, I ended up spending 1$ on…
Cupcakes and Bicycle!
On Sunday, Tristan and I got to hang out at the park for a while. He loves going there! We didn’t stay long though because it was getting a bit chilly (plus I was still recovering from my cold). After the park, we went home and baked our first cupcakes together! Once we stuffed our…
