How to hang up your skates for good

Some plastics don’t belong in your life
I have a love-hate relationship with plastic. It has simplified our lives in many ways but we’d all be better off with less of it in our lives.

Succulent squash rounds out the season
For me, squash is synonymous with fall: gorgeous colour, naturally sweet and full of goodness. I also find squash a great comfort food.
Stylin’ your house to sell
When it comes to decorating your home, we are always stressing how important it is to find your style and translate that into elements in your space. This rule is true … except when it comes time to sell your home.

Frosty and Crystal’s magnetic attraction
I guess I just have to face it.
I’m still waiting for the summer that never was and autumn, well, it seems to have gone just as it arrived. When you get snow flurries before Halloween, it’s time to face the facts. Winter is on its way.

Ghastly ghoulish grub
Halloween is just around the corner. So if you are planning a party, I have found some quite disgustingly fun recipes. Serve them up with some Vampire blood (tomato juice, perhaps “laced” a little) with a Haunted Forest as an appetizer and your guests may very well be bewitched.

We’re a family that loves fish and seafood, which is great for a few reasons: It’s tasty, quick, easy to prepare and loaded with things that are good for you. But there are things about fish and seafood that aren’t so great.

Creepy creations
Halloween is one of my favourite holidays, and it’s not just because of the candy. The best part of this holiday is spending time with family.
Find room in your garage
Even a hasty jaunt outside at this time of year will tell you that colder weather is coming… in fact it’s practically here already. The beautiful autumn leaves are quickly falling from the trees and breath is visible in the mornings. We are days away from scraping the frost from our car windshields and, if you are like us, this is not an appealing thought.

One of the keys to successfully decorating your home is getting to know your own style. Just like shopping for new clothes or picking out a new car you must understand what appeals to your senses and will help you to feel comfortable.

Apples in abundance
I thought a wonderfully delicious apple cake recipe would be delightful to add to your collection. To me, apples are symbolic of late summer and fall. And today, as I write this article, looking out the window of my beautiful new-to-me flat, I realize that it is the first day of fall and my most favourite season.
A great balancing act
When decorating a space there are many elements and principles of design that contribute to the room’s overall appearance. When one of them goes wrong it is usually easy to see what it is: the colours don’t match, the furniture is too big for the space, there is not enough light. The one that is often out of whack that may not be as easy to pick out is balance.
How to get a good ghostly glow
What did one ghost say to another ghost?
Do you believe in people? Ha! Ha! OK, so it’s obvious why I’m a craft writer and not a stand-up comic. I’m pretty sure I’d get booed off the stage. Get it, BOOed off the stage?
