Today Anton and I went to our next door neighbor for his very first playdate. My neighbor, Lisa, invited me for coffee while our toddlers played. Lisa’s daughter is only four months older than Anton. They played alongside each other, rather than with each other, which is normal for this age. [...]

Tonight after dinner, we biked to the nearest Tim Horton’s for some dessert.
It was refreshing to deviate from our usual routine. The temperature was perfect and it felt good to be outdoors.

Too Busy to Blog

Posted by: Alexis In: Family| Leisure| Windsor

I can’t believe it’s been 5 days since my last blog post. Well, it’s happened, I’ve become too busy to blog.
We spent the weekend in Art’s place and when we’re there I usually forget to post.
Also, we’ve been planning for our very first Canadian vacation — a trip to Canada’s Wonderland in Toronto! We’ve got [...]

Too Much Excitement for the Night

equal amounts of soy sauce (reduced sodium) and vinegar
about 3 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, smashed
3-5 black pepper cloves
2 [...]

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by: Alexis In: Cooking/Baking| Family

Isay and Paula must be bored. Today they baked chocolate chip cookies, all by themselves. They measured and mixed and scooped. The only thing I did was to take the trays out of the oven. The results?
Delicious!
Anton must have eaten a dozen of them. I was so busy all afternoon that I couldn’t keep my [...]
