Capturing the Kitchen

Some of you may be aware of the fact that I love, love, LOVE my camera. My husband was generous enough to buy me a wonderful Canon EOS 1000D DSLR camera as my “congratulations for doing an awesome job carrying our daughter in your belly for the last 9 months” gift. Some girls get jewelry (I got some of that too) but I got something that just keeps on giving. Because as you’ve... read more

If only I knew what to buy…

I’m really excited to be working with CSN Stores once again and will be selecting something from their enormous inventory of items (seriously, they have everything from lights to bakeware to furniture) that I need for the kitchen. Because personally, we have enough furniture, lights and other stuff around here that we’re trying to get rid of or install still. But I always seem to need... read more

Because Blog Her 2010 isn’t my cup of tea

A bunch of you that are not bloggers are going what’s a “Blog Her 2010″ right now…and that’s ok. But let me just say it’s a big convention with lots of mom bloggers and other blogger chicks. I’m obviously not there right now, nor am I convinced I would ever really want to go based on what I’ve heard around the Net…but that’s something for another... read more

No Ordinary Blogoversary

Thanks to Teena in Toronto for pointing out that my blogoversary was this past weekend. Can’t say for certain where my brain was but I had no idea that I was so close to the date when No Ordinary Homestead was born from the pieces of all my other blogs. On September 17th, I will have been blogging for 5 years and I have to say it’s been an amazing journey! In the last few months, you saw... read more
