Slow-Cooker Potatoes

I love my slow-cooker. It is so convenient on days that I'm working, to just pop in some food on my way out the door, and come home to an apartment filled with the smell of a dinner that is all ready-to-go. I've even gotten Rob hooked! He recently purchased a small lunch crock-pot of his…

Movie Review: A Star is Born

One of our recent date nights had us going to see the movie A Star is Born, starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. It was great movie, full of fantastic singing and Bradly Cooper with a guitar... who doesn't love that? I highly recommend if your looking for a good date night movie. It was…

The Grass Isn’t Greener on the Other Side

I was cleaning and purging my bookshelf the other day and came across a book called "10,000 Ways to Say I Love You". It's a book filled with relationship quotes, advice and other similar things.

Boot’s Health Update

Dollar Tea Club Subscription

I had to cancel the majority of my previous subscription boxes; not because of a lack of interest, but rather a lack of funds. It was very sad for me, as I loved the thrill you get when coming home to that box sticking out of your mailbox, and opening up to find a whole…

A Lesson in Lavender

One of things I did not realise when I first started working at the lavender farm was that there are not 1, not 2, but actually 100's of varieties of lavender. I had always thought that lavender was just lavender, but each variety of lavender has it's own scent, properties and even colour! Who knew…

Toe Tappin’ Tunes

I'm a huge country music fan, it's almost exclusively the only genre of music I listen to. However when I say country music, I mean real country music. I am a firm believer, and often ranter, of the fact that 99% of the "music" played on country radio stations today is absolutely not country. I'll…
