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…
All aboard the Cold Train!
Last week we all got sick one after the other (thank you, Tristan, for sharing). We made ginger tea with lemon and honey then rubbed some Haitian “Huile mascreti” (burnt castor oil) all over our chest. The adults took a few shot of NyQuil before going to bed, and Tristan got his shot of cold medicine….
Pay It Forward
The title says it all. I was recently introduced to the woman behind “Love Share Events”. A group of professionals who work to promote and support each another. They have one common goal and that is “to pay it forward”. I just love the concept! So I did a little interview with Natalka so that we…
My first attempt at a sock monkey
A few weeks ago I was on Pinterest and came across a board about sock monkey. It. Was. Magical! I became envious of all those crafty people out there. So of course, I wanted in their world. So I went on a search for socks! But knowing how I tend to give up easily on a project,…
Where’s my apple pie?
Today we all went apple picking “en famille” to celebrate my Babe turning 31. We’ve been looking forward to that “Escapade en train” for quite some time now. Last year we went, and we had such an amazing time! Apples everywhere! And so many different kinds that I never knew even existed. And there were…
Thanksgiving! A time for food, loved ones and scented wax.
The leaves are changing colors, and it is getting colder outside, which means Fall is here! And with Fall comes Thanksgiving and with Thanksgiving comes FOOD!!! Oh, and spending time with loved ones of course. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. Heck, everything that involves good food has always been my favorite…
Just Call me Lady Scentsalot

My Tata is the best!!! I signed up for Scentsy‘s “Scent of the month, warmer of the month” program end of February so missed out of March’s scent of the month *insert sad face* Had no clue which warmer or scent I was going to be getting. The wait was killing ME!!!!. March 14 I received…
