Another Manitoban here. I can remember once in 10-15 years my city having a snow day. This morning we woke up to -50 C windchills so out of town school buses were cancelled, but school was open. I drove my kids to school when they usually walk (I needed them OUT OF MY HOUSE after two weeks of family togetherness…

Tyvek is one of four in my friend's family and all of the names are rather unique. Tyvek is the most "interesting" of the names.

Tyvek. As in, the vapour barrier you put under siding on a house.

try making your French Toast in a waffle iron. It's a life-changing experience.

Oooh, I should try that with an immersion blender! I have a family on the larger side so we scramble a dozen eggs at a time—that's a lot of whisking....

I'm not crying, but I am going to go hug my boys hard enough that they will be all "WTH, Mom??"

I took my coffee can of unrolled pennies and covered an end table with them—there are $33 worth of Canadian and US pennies and a few 5 cent euros preserved in my living room now!

I think they made their wish in Toronto, and then staff in Calgary (their destination) shopped and wrapped and it was waiting for them when they landed—so, they just had to make sure their cab home wasn't a Prius.

Santa is wearing company colours.

I am right there with you—I am a bitter Manitoban who had to wait at the bus stop in -37 windchills today.

I haz a sad. Two days ago we put our beloved Basset Hound to sleep after 15 years with us. Her health had been declining for quite some time and she hadn't been herself for weeks so we knew the end was coming, but it was still heartbreaking. Ive been tearing up at random times throughout the day but I am trying to…

It proved my theory that all pop music sounds the same and pop stars are pretty interchangable.

Fun fact: Ken Jeong is actually a physician in real life. He was an ICU doc before starting his acting career.

This is my favourite hands-only CPR instruction video.

I have tried it in oatmeal, wheat crackers, sweet potato wheat thins (YUM) and actual speculoos cookies, which was the best thing ever to put in my mouth ever. My next experiment will be a microwave chocolate mug cake with a spoonful of cookie butter in the center.

I like chocolate cookie spread and speculoos SO MUCH more. Nutella is dead to me.

I am Canadian and I work at the mall in my city. Lots of the stores in the mall are having Black Friday sales to try to keep people shopping in our city instead of hopping the border for deals.(ours started yesterday, ugh) It just feels so wrong to play along with this shitty new shopping holiday, when we already…

He looks like he might be auditioning to be in a boy band,

For some reason, this dress doesn't say Disney Princess to me, it says Michelle Obama or Kate Middleton. Jaw-dropping. Simply jaw-dropping.

Roll the sweater up in a towel and then walk around on it to press the water out. DO NOT twist or wring it. Then, you can lay it flat to dry on a mesh sweater dryer or a clothes rack with horizontal hanging bars. Upthread there are instructions on how to re-shape a sweater after washing that you may find helpful…
