The temperature dropped to minus 16 degrees Celsius overnight and this is what it is looking like in my neck of the woods. No sign of Spring here!!

Wordless Wednesday ~ Our Visit to the SPCA {w/Linky}
December 3, 2013 by · 11 Comments
This Wordless Wednesday is a little wordy ~ My daughter and I recently went on a visit to our local SPCA to drop off a few items from their "wish list". I had such mixed emotions during my visit.

However, I was sickened that the need to rescue these poor little creatures from an abusive situation even exists! In my head I cannot even begin to fathom how … [Read more...]

I recently read The Birth House by Ami McKay and in the book there are several references to Groaning Cake. “The tradition of the groaning cake, or kimbly at (or following) a birth is an ancient one. Wives’ tales say that the scent of a groaning cake being baked in the birth house helps to ease the mother’s pain. Some say if a mother breaks the eggs while she’s aching, her labour won’t last … [Read more...]
