Hi friends! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.

On January 5th, my beautiful Nana passed away at 84 years old.

Despite her having…

Matcha White Tea. Have you heard of this. I had heard of the green matcha tea from my mom who is my go to health and everything amazing guru. But white, she even looked at me puzzled when I told her about…

I made the Eggnog Matcha the same way I made the Caramel Matchaccino. As soon as I opened the packet, the smell of eggnog was noticeable. It smelled great.



Note: it has a tear area, but don't use it.…

I was given the opportunity to try two products from RedLeafTea.com. The Caramel Matchaccino and the Naturally flavored Eggnog Matcha. I've never heard of either products, but I was excited to try them. Here's my thoughts in the Caramel Matchaccino.



First things first, I had no idea what…

Banana Bread

This Banana Bread Loaf is delicious and moist with lots of flavour. Perfect sliced with tea or coffee. Banana bread is wonderful toasted too. Best with overripe bananas.

It was my birthday on Friday. I turned 21 again, but with 11…

Strange Brew

I'm not a big fan of the mall—mostly because I tend to have horrible experiences there.  I frequently get hoodwinked by enthusiastic salespeople who sell me junk I don't need and never use, and I have had enough dressing room blunders to write an entire book of anecdotes on fitting…

Unless you’ve been locked in a basement for the last month you know that the Royal Wedding is about to happen (and if you are reading this after 1am Friday morning, it’s already happened).  I don’t know about you but I was NOT really excited or interested in the Royal Wedding.  Nor was I going to wake up at 1 in the morning to watch it!  For the last 2…

In 2003 my husband and I moved to China. We lived in Beijing for two years.

Not a lengthy amount of time – certainly not long enough for me to claim expert status on Chinese people or their customs – but just long enough for me to accumulate lots of stuff. If you’ve ever lived overseas you probably know what I’m talking about. While shopping in fantastic open-air markets, quite often a small, very persistent and somewhat annoying voice whispers in your ear: “You may never…

My friend left work today, excited because she was heading straight to her new gym. For a few minutes I was envious. She would, after all, get to work out without small companions who make comments like, "Look, mom, I can stretch, too! I can stretch more than you!!" and "Wow, mom!

But then I looked outside and saw it was snowing. Again. My motivation left as quickly as it had arrived. Don't get me wrong. I want to be fit. I want sculpted arms…

Well St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner.

What do you do to celebrate the day?

Well, I am celebrating with my favorite Pecan Pie.

It is in no way a traditional St. Patrick's Day thing...I just happen to love pecan pie and decided to…
