Taking a semi summer break
As you may have noticed we’ve been posting less and less, the reason for that is that we are moving from Montreal to Calgary, next weekend! So to be able to organize the move and settle in once there, we have been slowing things down and we will keep it like that until fall. In the meantime, though, we will continue posting Around the World in 12 Dishes because we have to eat anyways, lol. Kids … Read entire article »
France – Boeuf Bourguignon
Since our French bread was such a big success, our second attempt at a French recipe turned out to be a very tasty, although very difficult dish to type (a big THANK YOU to whoever invented copy and paste!) – Boeuf Bourguignon. For a long time now Nico has been a big fan of almost anything soup and stew, so a beef stew sounded right up his alley and the recipe we found over at Delish.com … Read entire article »

Papier mâché hen challenge
A few months back Molly Moo published a picture of a very cool papier mâché Hen that she had made at her papier mâché course. This precipitated a Hen Craft Challenge which Alex & I agreed to take part in, and of course Nico helped a little and also requested his own so we have three hens for you. We printed our pattern on cardstock and I assembled them. We used basic flour/water glue for our hens … Read entire article »

Toilet paper roll building blocks
(April 11, 2013) Nico loves when we buy a big pack of toilet paper because it’s a nice seat in the shopping cart. Normally he brings it in the house and the bathroom, then he’s happy to have done his job. Today, before dinner, he wanted to open the whole pack and play with it, since we had ordered in, we just played until it arrived. He learned that he had to put them on straight … Read entire article »

Plantation d’un parterre de fleurs avec un jeune enfant
(19 Juin 2012) Nous avons 2 parterres dans la cour et nous avons décidé de mettre des fleurs dans l’un d’eux. Nous avons donc acheté des fleurs déjà cultivées et aussi des graines. Nico et ma mère (son nom est Linda, Nico l’appelle Dada) a décidé, un jour de se mettre au travail, eh bien, elle l’a fait, et bien sûr, il a insisté pour l’aidé. Elle avait déjà tout nettoyé, car il y avait … Read entire article »
