Vegan jaffle party!

June 19, 2016

This idea popped up while I was hosting that Family Favourites picnic potluck in the summer. I was probably telling someone about how my family called jaffles Hot Ones (thanks to toddler-me) and got to thinking about how fun a jaffle potluck could be. A few irons in a row, a pile of bread, and everyone brings a filling. Hot Ones all round!

I waited until the cold weather rolled in, when toasty carbs bring the most comfort. My dozen-plus guests definitely brought the goods - extra jaffle irons, numerous vegan cheeses, home baked beans, mock meats, canned spaghetti, the last of a garden's basil... even sweet stuff like caramel bananas and chocolate chips.

For dessert, I had another family favourite to share - this one's something my mum would occasionally make for dinner guests. It starts not with bread, but with puff pastry. Yep, you just thaw out a sheet of puff pastry and cut it into two rectangles. Fill the rectangles will sliced banana, chocolate chips and marshmallows (these ones are vegan). Fold the pastry over into a square but don't fuss about pinching the sides - a good jaffle iron does all the shaping for you! These pastry pockets take longer to cook than your average bread-based toastie but they do eventually puff up golden and flaky, with sweet molten filling.

I candied some oranges Cinnamon Snail-style, then teamed them with chocolate spread and cinnamon for punderful jaffa jaffles. Others paired the chocolate spread with Turkish delight to great effect. It was a sweet way to pass a Sunday afternoon.

The Dojo Ramen Bar

June 18, 2016

The Dojo Ramen Bar comes recommended by High St vego-in-the-know Erin; their veggie ramen is her favourite comfort food at the end of a bad day. Last Saturday night we confirmed that it's also a suitable spot for good times, when everyone's looking forward to a gig at the Northcote Social Club. We filled out the bar's communal table with a reservation for twelve and maintained the cheerful, chattering noise levels already established by the other patrons. The staff were friendly and flexible in the face of our large group and staggered orders.

Sake cocktails and Japanese spirits are displayed most prominently on the drinks menu, but Erin actually prefers the Calpico grape soda and I went for a Ramune (Japanese lemonade, $4.50). It doesn't taste so different from a Sprite, but the pop-the-marble top is novel and very Japanese.

As far as food goes vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are marked well, although they weren't all what we expected - thankfully the staff provided knowledgeable back-up. I thought the vegan gyoza ($8) filling was a little mushy and generic, but the dumplings were perfectly pan-fried and they're always improved with soy-vinegar dipping. The other eye-catching option was a plate of cheesy rolls, a curd-based riff on deep-fried spring rolls.

And what of the ramen? It comes in seven varieties, three of them vegetarian. (Unfortunately for vegans, the noodles contain egg, but the rest can be served with a side of steamed rice.) On Erin's advice I ordered the standard veggie ramen ($13.50). The noodles are nice, and nestled in a creamy, comforting broth made with soy milk and nut extract. On top there's tofu, spring onion, bamboo shoots, two-tone sesame seeds, a sheet of nori and - my new favourite ingredient - benishoga, a vermillion shredded pickled ginger. The other vego bowls stir miso or shoyu into the broth, mix up the veges and lack the benishoga.

It's spot-on mid-winter comfort food, and good value for money. If there's a drawback, it's that the resulting feelings of sleepy satisfaction aren't exactly conducive to late night live music. We were lucky that Olympia has the kind of talent to jolt us from a ramen stupor.

The Dojo Ramen Bar seems to please every blogger who visits, from veg Ebezilla's Food Blog to omnis Two Bears And A Fork, Sweet and Sour Fork, The Spice Adventuress, foodie about town, Vetti Live In Northcote and Fitzroyalty.

Stockholm, weeks 7 & 8

May 29-June 17, 2016

My last two weeks in Stockholm were light on the blog-worthy eating - I enjoyed return visits to Maxos and Greasy Spoon, but didn't hit up too many new places. I managed to take a quick lunchtime jaunt down to Hornstull to visit Seyhmus, a veggie buffet place recommended to me by Jess. It's really only open for lunchtime (or a very early dinner), but it's definitely worth the trip.

110kr ($18) buys you access to a very impressive array of hot dishes and salads. The  hot dishes included a fantastic spinach curry, a couple of different beany stews, some falafel balls and a delicious spinach and cheese pastry, while the selection of salads, dips and breads was just out of control (the chilli marinated mushrooms were probably my highlight). Herman's has a better view, but this place wins the battle of the buffets hands down.

My other blog-worthy meals were at Reggev Hummus, a teeny little restaurant right by my apartment that serves exclusively hummus-based meals. It was recommended to me by a few people and, while the idea of a hummus restaurant initially struck me as odd, it fast became a favourite option on nights that I was feeling lazy.

The concept is pretty simple - you get a couple of bits of bread, some pickles and a bowl filled with hummus plus some toppings. I had the hazilim (grilled eggplant, tomato and paprika, 95kr/$15.30), the foul (fava beans with tahini and egg, 85kr/$13.70) and the baz-veg (tomato and paprika sauce, with egg and tahini, 95kr/$15.30). They were all excellent, with the hummus a perfect vessel for the simple, tasty topping ingredients. The bread fell a bit short of the excellence you might get at somewhere like Mankoushe, but I still went back again and again when I was after a speedy takeaway meal on a lazy work night.

I had a wonderful couple of months in Stockholm - the availability of vego food is much higher than it was on my previous trip in 2009 and, even if nothing quite lives up to Smith & Daughters or Wide Open Road, I really enjoyed checking everything out. Besides, it's a gloriously beautiful city in spring and summer time - I can't wait to go back.

Orange baked tofu

June 13, 2016

In the spirit of celebrating old favourites this winter, here's a recipe that we've been making for five years. It's the Zesty Orange Mojo Baked Tofu from Viva Vegan!. (Yeah, we did write about it back in 2010 but omitted instructions.)

This is a nifty foundation for a weeknight meal. First the tofu slices get baked in a little oil and tamari for seasoning. Then they're baked a second time in lots of orange juice, a bit of lime and some garlic until most of the liquid is evaporated. The bright flavours cling to the tofu, and the slices condense down to chewy bars. We've often served them as a meat substitute alongside grains and vegetables.

This week I held back just a bit on the second bake, keeping the tofu more tender. I've been folding it into tortillas and layering it up with avocado, a simple cabbage salad, and a herb-oil I made from parsley, coriander and dill. The vibrancy of this meal felt almost summery, even as I relied on early winter veges.

Orange baked tofu
(slightly adapted from a recipe from Terry Hope Romero's Viva Vegan!)

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tamari
500g firm tofu

juice of 2 oranges
zest of 1 orange
juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper

Preheat an oven to 200°C.

Place the olive oil and tamari in a large, high-walled baking tray and whisk them together with a fork, spreading them evenly across the base. Slice the tofu into 1 cm-thick rectangles and arrange them in the tray so that they're not overlapping (they can cram right up side-by-side, though). Bake the tofu for 20 minutes.

While the tofu is baking, prepare and whisk together all of the marinade ingredients. When the tofu has had its 20 minutes, retrieve it from the oven and flip over each piece. Pour over all of the marinade and return the baking dish to the oven to bake the tofu for a further 30 minutes, until the tofu is chewy and most but not all of the marinade has evaporated.

Twenty & Six Espresso III

June 5, 2016

I've been taking it gently as a I settle back into wintery Melbourne. I've been choosing old favourite recipes and restaurants that remind me what I love about home - baking granola, cooking lentil tacos and eating the leftovers in toasties, slurping up legume noodle soup. There's been porridge specials at Wide Open Road, dinner after work at Good Days, and Friday nights in local pubs.

Visiting the Queen Victoria Markets is another Melbourne staple. I picked up some soup ingredients there on a cold, wet Sunday and resolutely took myself across to Twenty & Six Espresso for a treat afterwards. They do Mörk hot chocolates including a vegan one they call the Bounty ($6). It's based on coconut cream and their house-made almond milk. Its richness comes more from the distinctive silkiness of that coconut cream and less from the light cocoa content; it's just a little frothy on top. I rationed it out slowly, with a sweet little (non-vegan) pumpkin cake ($4) decorated with just the right amount of cream cheese icing.

You can read about our previous visits to Twenty & Six here and here. Since then it's received positive reviews on confessions of a little piggy, Yellow Eggs, Concrete Playground, Mango Macarons, gochiso, Food Fable, Addicted to the Sweet Life, Eat. Play. Shop., Snow Crab Nebula and Big Hand and Little Hand. As counterpoints, there are mixed reviews on melbourne brunch scene, Eve Lovelle and GOOD FOOD GOOD MOOD, and negative reviews on Dammit Janet I Love Food and www.bleedingwineonmylips.com.

Accessibility: There's a small step on entry (although there are also some outdoor tables). The interior is pretty cosy and the toilets are out the back via the courtyard (which we haven't explored). I ordered at the table and paid at a low counter in the front room.

Stockholm, weeks 5 & 6

May 15-28, 2016

Between our joint trip to Helsinki and Cindy's sneaky side-trip to Denmark, the last couple of weeks of May didn't turn out to be massively exciting food-wise in Stockholm (at least until the 28th!). Cindy made sure she got to sample Sweden's own mock-meat invention, Oumph! (pictured below). It's a soy-based product with a pretty impressive range - we had the thyme and garlic version, stir-fried to serve alongside a quinoa salad. It's a decent attempt - a chicken-y texture and some nice flavours make this a rare mock-meat you can eat without added sauce. Good job Sweden.

We tried to drop in to Herman's to show Cindy the view one Friday night, but the line was too long and we gave up. With Cindy's time in Stockholm fast running out, we wound up heading back on one of the few non-sunny evenings we've had here lately, which slightly dampens the experience.

The buffet (120kr/$20.05 per person) remains a solid dinner option in any weather, with quite a few variations from my earlier visit. The fresh bread and associated bean and avocado dips were probably my highlight, but there was plenty to enjoy.

Cindy convinced me that we should sample from the dessert cabinet, which has a very attractive array of options. She settled on the apple pie (50kr/$8.35) which was an excellent choice, having buttery pastry and an excellent filling. Her huge, cream-topped hot chocolate was vegan too! The quality felt like a step up from the buffet-style savoury dishes, so it might be wise to ease off a bit on the savoury plates (if you can restrain yourself) and leave room for some sweets.

Next up came the festival of Michael, starting with my birthday dinner at home on Friday night, and continuing with brunch at Louie Louie in our neighbourhood. The brunch menu kicks off at 11am, and things were pretty quiet when we arrived bang on time (it got busier by the time we finished at around midday).

The basic brunch plate is on the left below: sausage, scrambled eggs, chickpea salad, a parmesan and chilli scone, sun-dried tomato mayonaisse, roasted pumpkin, fig jam, a mango-orange smoothie and unlimited coffee refills, all for 150kr ($25). We decided to split a side of the waffles with berries and cream (30kr/$5 extra). It's a massive meal, working a very brown/yellow colour palette. I was really impressed by the 'chorizo', and enjoyed all the trimmings that came along with them. The waffle was mercifully thin and added the appropriately celebratory touch to start my birthday right.

We spent the day wandering around the city and then taking a nap to prepare for our late dinner at Fotografiska, a photography museum with a fancy restaurant overlooking the water. We strolled through the exhibitions and still had time to squeeze in a drink in the neighbouring bar.

The big windows really show off the restaurant's incredible view - we were lucky enough to get shuffled to a window seat early in our meal meaning we spent most of the time gawping out the window as the sun slowly went down (see also the pic at the top of the post).

The restaurant has a real buzz (at least on a Saturday  night), and almost all of the tables were full when we turned up at 8:45. The exposed beams and open kitchen are typically on trend, but it's really all about the windows and the view.

I ordered the cocktail of the day, a carrot and citrus based drink with gin and some other kind of booze involved (142kr/$23.70). It came out alongside some wonderful rye bread, served with pickled Swedish turnip, onion mayo and butter. I happily accepted a second round when they offered.

The menu proper has a strong vegetable focus, with four cold and four hot dishes, all with vegetables as their main component, but some with non-vego add-ons (all can be done vegetarian). The staff suggested four dishes each (they're 125kr/$20.90 each), so we ordered 6 of the 8 possible dishes and saved room for dessert.

The first four were: asparagus with fennel hollandaise and tarragon (above left), potatoes in browned butter with cold smoked sour cream and tapioca (replacing the roe, above right), spring weeds with a herb marinated egg and a light broth (below left), and ramson pasta with fennel (below right). All four were fantastic - I think the asparagus and the potato were the stars of the first round, but there were no weak links.

The final two savouries were salt-baked beetroot with a smoky potato puree (below left) and a baked yellow onion with mushrooms, Jerusalem artichoke and truffle (below right). These two took things to even higher levels - managing somehow to be surprising and comforting at the same time.

We had to see whether the desserts (again 125kr/$20.90 each) could possibly measure up to the savouries, splitting a Jerusalem artichoke pizza with caramel and elderflower...

... and a serve of the birch ice-cream, with sorrel ice, meringue and liqourice.

Again, these were inventive and delicious - the kitchen at Fotografiska churns out some brilliantly thoughtful creations.

We had friendly and efficient service - there was a screw up with my coffee, which they promptly rectified and then didn't charge for - and the setting is to die for, but the food managed to outdo them both. It's not obvious how well they'd manage vegan food, although the website is very clear that they're happy to cater for any requirements given enough notice, so it would be well worth a try. The food we had was so vegetable-focussed and creative, that it seems likely they'd come up with something worthwhile. I'm really glad we chose Fotografiska for our one properly fancy meal in Stockholm - it's a total winner.

This was our last meal together before Cindy set off home to Melbourne. I might make one more round-up of Stockholm eats before I, too, head home.

Enforcement Methods

In order to effectuate the enforcement, the Court can enter an order requiring a lump sum payment or wage garnishment. Oftentimes when the failure to pay is intentional the Court will order the defaulting party to pay your attorney’s fees and costs.

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial Agreements are contracts entered into by two people intending to get married.  If done properly it can govern the rights, duties and obligations of the parties in the event of a termination of the marriage whether by death or divorce. Florida has a statute governing these agreements and these agreements will be enforced if they are entered into properly in compliance with the statute.

While you may be uncomfortable entering into marriage seeking a a Prenuptial Agreement, the unfortunate reality is that not all marriages last.  It might be best to know what your rights and obligations are now, rather than years later when it is too late to do anything about it.  Prior to the marriage you will have significant discretion agreeing on a number of the issues that become so contentious and expensive to litigate in the dissolution of marriage process.  Even if you do not have significant assets now, if you will acquire significant assets and earn significant income  during the marriage you will most likely benefit from a pre-nuptial agreement.

Thus, whether you are the monied spouse seeking to limit your obligations in the event of a dissolution of marriage or the party with few assets and/or income waiving your rights, it is imperative that you have the advise of counsel before signing an agreement.

If you are considering marriage, we can help you decide whether a prenuptial agreement is in your best interests. Please call us at 407-403-5990 or contact us (below) if you would like us to prepare your Prenuptial Agreement.

The New York Times -- on track to ruin Lolo Jones_625-spun9

The New York Times -- on target to harm Lolo Jones
Aug. 6: Joined States' Lolo Jones, kept, and Canada's Phylicia George are competing in a female's 100-meter hurdles high temperature during the sporting events in the Olympic Stadium at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. (Elp) Most sports pages celebrate your home team. Even a New York Periods dwells on the subject of local competitive sports and has a full section invested in the Olympic games that is crammed with U.'s.-laden pieces. Physical activities pages require you to process after you aren't able to win, not likely before. In order that it takes a particular outlandish vanity and odd agenda to fight an athlete prior to when one of the biggest events of the career. Meet up with Jer�� Longman, the Tonya Harding in sports reporting. Longman attacked an example of America's most significant name hobbyist athletes-hurdler Lolo Jones-just before her Olympic race with a piece branded: "For Lolo Jones, It is all totally Image. Jones is famous not only on as an Olympian, however , as a Luciano who is convinced in looking forward to marriage earlier than she has making love. An incredulous Smith went on NBC's "Today" immediately following her fourth-place conclude, just outside the medals. Jones taken into account that only one year in the past "I was acquiring spinal cord surgical procedures." In addition to followed by purchasing two hamstring problems. Nothing of that obtained mentioned as a result of Longman. Neither have done the fact that she's "a two-time Indoor Planet Champion with the 60-meter hurdles and he has run a 100-meter distance as fast as 12.Forty three, when your lady cruised through the semifinal found in 2008." As Johnson described it again, "they just toned me to help shreds." Preferably, to Longman, Jones "has played to the persistent, demeaning notion that ladies are notable as sports people only if they have already sex beauty." Undoubtedly, Longman has difficulty attractive wives. He whined that will "Jones posed exposed for ESPN the Magazine." Just what he shouldn't say is some) that a large number of athletes have inked so and additionally b) that she showed hardly anything. Yes, basically no clothes, but also from the words with Monty Python, no naughty bits often. He made precisely the same complaint with regards to her look in Outdoors magazine that, while gently provocative, shown nothing-other than a rather pretty and also impressive younger athlete. Though dig just a little deeper in the story and also you find precisely what Longman and his carefully picked professional were continually pushing. Longman turned to Janice Forsyth, all the director with the International Link for Olympic Research projects at the Collage of North western Ontario to help you bash Smith for her. "It reminds me connected with Anna Kournikova,Half inch she explained. Forsyth went on to mention that there are "limited opportunities" for female "unless they sell ourselves as intercourse kittens and also virgins for sale.In Ouch. Nonetheless completely no surprise. This was the fourth time that Olympics Longman surveyed Forsyth. He learned exactly what goal list she was initially pushing. Through her writings, she is the best lefty on several. In one piece your sweetheart wrote, this lady bemoaned the "crass advertisement vehicle that has become the Olympic market place." Found in another, your sweetheart supported typically the "Olympics and matters of communal justice." Forsyth also made a "two-year time period as Desk chair of the Enter of Administrators for the Canadian Organisation for the Continuing development of Women and Outdoor activity and Physical exercise." The fact that organization's websites has incredibly liberal sectors like "Gender Equity" not to mention "Homophobia in Game." Within a of the girl courses, this girl talks about "problems with the gender binary" throughout sports. Hazy feminist claptrap. In one involving Longman's pieces, the person cited "experts" that definitely have criticized "a brand new IOC policy regarding determining who is able to compete like a woman.In He observed that with Forsyth expression: "It's far too effortless wash a lot of our hands and additionally say it is all totally equal without pointing out the particular nuanced ways justness is still a long way away." For another involving Longman's articles, Forsyth the woman complained about Olympic badminton outfits as a "blatant attempt to sexualize wives." Longman is really sportswriter for the Occasions for nearly 2 decades. He's likewise the author of varied books. Nonetheless he is planning to criticize the fourth-best hurdler across the world. If Longman was even close to the fourth-best sportswriter across the globe, he wouldn't be working for the periods, he'd attend ESPN or Competitive sports Illustrated. Probably the reason he could be still around the Times, blade and soul power leveling a paper perhaps even New Yorkers avoid thinking about for sports entertainment, is because she can't play. The Newspaper and tv Research Center's Henry Wilson contributed investigation to this discourse.Dan Gainor is definitely the Boone Pickens Fellow as well as the Media Basic research Center's Vice President with regard to Business and also Culture. She or he writes routinely for Fox News Judgment. He can be contacted at Facebook and Twitter because dangainor.

      Many years ago I agreed to go to a work party at the church. It was one of those work parties where many little things needed to be looked after and all could be done by some work and effort. No special skills were needed.

      Since I was one of the younger men I agreed to climb the stepladder and replace bulbs in the lights. The lights were about 4 or 5 m (15 ft) from the floor. If I'd seen the step ladder before I opened my big mouth I would not have volunteered. The step ladder was an ancient rickety wood model and it was about 4 or 5 m ( 15 ft), but when it was opened it wasn't that high. So you had to stand on the second step from the top and balance. I had a nice fellow hold the step ladder for all the good that would do. There were only oak pews below me.

     The changing of the bulbs went slowly and gradually we got to the last set of lights at the front right side of the church. As I was going up the ladder I heard a rustling sound in the  corner. The rustling noise seemed to be moving in a circular pattern. The noise went up and down. All the time I was up there the rustling was continuous. Sometimes it was quieter and some times louder. Sometimes rapid and other times slow. Whatever was making the noise knew I was there and didn't like me very much. I think as I moved from the back of the church to the front I chased the  whatever to the front and it was cornered and didn't like me one bit.

     I have always wondered about this event. If I went back would I still hear the noise? What was really there?

    I like ghost stories but they are always somebody else's story and it's enjoyable to read or hear the story.

     This is the first time I've ever told this story and it happened in the early 1970's.

    Have you ever encountered something that was strange and eerie?

Online Educational Learning Games for Kids - Fun Way of Tutoring for Parents and Children

Online games are no longer limited to racing cars and computers are no longer used only for emailing and chatting. Online educational games for kids are becoming a popular way to teach kids about alphabets, number and words and other information.

Advantages of Online Educational Learning Games

Online educational learning games is an effective way with endless options for teaching kids of all age groups, children are also able to operate it without much assistance. Parents find it easier to teach kids through these programs, who become familiar with operating the computer.

Kids have fun learning phonetics, spellings and even a new language. Children are not willing to learn math tables or difficult words at school. They find it fun to sit in front of a Computer and learn languages and solve mathematical problems. In this age of computers, computers are becoming an important part of the child's daily curriculum with parents opting to teach these kids new things each day with the help of online educational games.

Computer games are also known to improve the motor skills in children. In addition, the level of these games can be adjusted according to the level and learning ability of the kids. The makers of these games keep the kid's interest in mind while designing them so that their interest is maintained. Another advantage of these games is that you can find free online games and do not have to invest in these expensive products.

There is unlimited knowledge available on the net, waiting to be tapped. There are so many interesting games available on the internet that the children are sure to find new games where they are through playing with the older ones.

Other activities that are available on the internet include online coloring games. This is also a constructive way that children can use to pass their leisure time and according to experts reflects the emotions of these children.

Another advantage is that the kids can lay in the comfort of their home and do have to be tutored elsewhere. Also, kids who are fond of playing on the computer can spend their time learning educational material instead on video games that teach violence.

Parents have to keep an eye on their kids and make sure that they do not spend time on the computer playing games that could be harmful for them. It is essential to direct the kids to educational sites that have beneficial games and are known to help the progress of these children.

The Power Of Vulnerability

This weekend was quite lovely.

I got to do a little shopping, spend time with old family friends, and have over a very dear friend and sister from the church to spend the night.

It was so nice just to serve her and make some things from her Pinterest account that I thought we would both enjoy.

We stayed up until 3AM talking about everything.

I think the highlight of the night was this short 20 minute video she showed me.
It's a TED talk and I think it's very biblical and powerful.

Many times I believe that my openness equals to vulnerability and that's just not the case.
I am also the person that has a hard time giving compassion unto others, because I don't believe I'm worthy of compassion myself. This is a big hinderance to my relationship with God that I battle through each day.

I've been tricked into believing the false humility of "I'm not worthy of such mercy"; however, if God died a gruesome death for me and has continuously pursued me and wanted to create me to lavish His love on me, then He has deemed me worthy.

He has acted in such a way, where even though it doesn't make sense, to Him we are worthy and we need to start believing these things so we can truly love other people. Believing that you're worthy is not prideful (as long as you have the right heart about it), because God created us we are worthy. We had nothing to do with our worthiness so it comes back around to a full circle ending... back to God.

Enjoy the video and enjoy your Monday!

Red Beans and Rice

I'm always trying to find new simple recipes for Kennady. This one was super simple. With all of Kennady's allergies I try to keep the ingredients to a minimum. I don't add more than one new thing at a time just in case she has an allergic reaction. I can easily pin point what the new item in her diet is. So here goes....

1 cup of uncooked white rice
1/2 pound of small red beans
1/2 package of ham chunks

I put the red beans into the crock pot with a carton of gluten free vegan vegetable broth , ham chunks and salt. Allowed it to cook on low for 6 hours until the beans were nice and soft.
 Prepare rice as directed (

Scoop rice into a bowl and top with red bean and ham.

SEE super super simple. You can add any seasonings that you'd like to either the rice or the beans. I stick to simple for Kennady. She LOVED this. She opted to not use her spoon and just dive right in with her hands. We're still working on table manners.

Alley and Joe baby mirror review

Kennady is still rear facing and will continue to be until she out grows the rear facing limits on all of her seats. Having a mirror for many moms is a life saver and gives them peace of mind. This mirror is made from high quality hard plastic. The mirror itself is wide and slightly curved for maximum viewing of your child. It's super easy to install. It has 4 straps and clips. It secures directly to the head rest of your back seat. It's a bit large and too hard for me to use in the car. If there was an accident the mirror could become a projectile and hurt either the baby or someone else in the car ( )  I have however found many different uses for the mirror that my daughter loves. I had to put a baby gate around the TV in her play room. I attached the mirror to the gate and she loves going up and looking at herself. She kisses the mirror and everything. The mirror easily wipes clean with a baby wipe or wash cloth. Overall I like this mirror. There are so many different uses for it.

Here's what the manufacturer has to say about the product:
Look forward to stress-free car journeys with the Ally & Joe baby car mirror.

Designed for use with rear-facing infant car seats, the mirror allows you to keep a watchful eye on baby without taking your eye off the road.  Your baby also remains reassured that you're there because he/she can see you too!

The exceptionally clear, premium quality convex mirror is lightweight and shatterproof.  There's no blurring or distortion and the large size provides a wide viewing angle for total peace of mind.

The baby mirror is made using high quality, baby-safe materials.  Dual straps give maximum mounting stability to ensure that the mirror stays firmly put when going over bumps and around bends.  It can be mounted horizontally or vertically to get the best view.

The Ally & Joe baby car mirror is quick and easy to mount.  No fancy tools or specialist expertize are required (although we do recommend asking a helper to assist in finding the perfect angle before first use).  After that, you're set!  No center headrest required.

Ally & Joe are committed to bringing you great quality products that you'll love and would be happy to recommend to your friends and family.  All products are backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and you'll find that our customer service is the best around.

Pacifier Clips REVIEW!

My daughter has gotten into that throwing stage. She's not a big pacifier baby so I tested these on her toys and teethers.  She does have a Wubbanub but she mainly chews on his feet. First off you get 3 in a package which as any mom knows is a great thing. Most of us have to had to replace things our kids have lost on more than one occasion so getting three at once gives you a leg up. Unlike the standard plastic pacifier clips these are made from durable metal. The clasps are easy to open. I was actually able to open them with one hand which is a plus since my daughter loves being held. In my personal experience the "teeth" on the inside of the clasp are soft enough to where they wont rip the fabric of your child's clothing , stroller or car seat. The clips are made with a high quality cotton material that easily wipes down with a baby wipe. They are also easy to install. I use the term "install" very loosely. These really are simple to use even for the most clumsy mommy and baby pair. You simply loop the white lace through the hole on the pacifier or around the toy and loop it back through itself and POOF you're done!! It's just that simple, honest.  I think these are a must for any mom who has a little one who likes to toss things or for the infant who can't hold his/her own pacifier just yet.

* I received this product in exchange for my honest review*

Inza's Mommy Must Haves Part:1

Kennady is 16 month old now. With all the new baby stuff that wasn't around years ago I had to find my way through all the frilly fun products and find out what I REALLY needed. Granted I have purchased or been gifted almost everything on the market so lets narrow everything down shall we?

1. A good quality safe care seat. DO NOT BUY USED! There are many places you can be cheap when raising kids their safety seats should NEVER be one of them. This means DO NOT BUY USED! DO check expiration dates. Yes car seats do expire. All current car seats pass the same safety standards. The prices differ depending all the bells and whistles. You also need to find a seat that works not only with your baby but with your car.  Kennady's first car seat was a Graco Snugride Classic connect. We have since purchased more/different seats.  Her convertible seats are the Graco 4ever seat and the Diono Radian RXT. They have high rear facing limits as well as forward facing limits. Both of these seats can also be used as booster seats as Kennady gets older. There are safe seats in all sorts of price ranges. Many hospitals will provide seats free of charge to families that can't afford them. The website Car Seats for the Littles is an amazing source of correct information.

 2. A safe place for your baby to sleep. No brainer, right? You'd be surprised. I picked a Rock-n-sleep by Fisher Price. They fold up pretty flat and are easy to travel with if you're going by car. We also have a couple of Graco play yards that could also be used for sleeping. I didn't use them for travel because they were a bit bulky.

3. Good quality diaper bag. Chances are you're going to end up using your diaper bag as not only a place to keep baby's things but a place to keep your things as well. It's just easier to carry one bag. I have a few diaper bags. Actually I have a few too many diaper bags. I've tried everything from the bag the hospital gave me to Coach to Ju-Ju-Be. I LOVE my Coach diaper bag but it was just too bulky for everyday use. I changed to the Ju-Ju-Be BFF bag and have been very happpy. You can use it as a regular diaper bag or you can attach the backpack straps and wear it in backpack mode. As Kennady has gotten older I have started to carry the Ju-Ju-Be HoBoBe bag.

4. Diapers and wipes. Now diapers are a hot button issue. Do you want to use disposables or cloth? You may have to try out a few different kinds of diapers to see what works best for your baby. People told me not to buy a lot of newborn diapers but when Kennady was born she was on the smaller side so I needed newborn diapers for like 6 months. Personally I say if you're going to stock up buy a few packages in size NB and even more packages in size 1.  Cloth diaper wise I like the ones with snaps and bamboo inserts. Wipes are along the same lines as diapers. You'll need to test out which wipes work best for your baby. My daughter has allergies so I have to be extra careful.

 5. Onesies , Sleepers and Gowns. I know we all like the idea of dressing our babies in cute little fancy outfits with matching everything but truth be told they are not needed. For the first month get the basics. Something for the baby to sleep in and something to leave the house in. Some might also throw pants in there for the winter but I love chunky little baby legs lol

SavvyBaby Stroller Organizer REVIEW

I love this organizer. I was lucky enough to be gifted with one for testing purposes but the opinions expressed are 100% my own and guess what..... I LOVE IT!!! Check out the video to find out why..

5 things NOT to say to a single mom

There's just something about being pregnant or having a baby that makes people think they can say whatever they want to you. Here are the top 5 things one should never say to a pregnant woman or maybe people just shouldn't have said to ME.

  5. Isn't it hard? *rolling eyes* Of course it's hard. When parenting is done right it's hard no matter if it's a two parent household or a single parent household. If it's not hard then you're obviously not doing it right.

4. Children need a father as a role model. No actually they don't. Both boys and girls need a strong male role model. That doesn't have to be their father. It's better for them to have a strong positive male role model that is not their biological father than a father who is a horrible non positive emotionally abusive person. Positive actions over negativity any day!

3. I feel so sorry for you. *Blink Blink* Why? I have an amazing , sweet and healthy child who I love more than life. What's to feel sorry about? Ok So I don't have a partner I have to run everything past before I do it. Eh I can live with that.

2. You should start dating. Why?  It hasn't worked out for me in the last 35 years lol I've watched too many Lifetime movies and the nightly news. I see too many freaks and perverts dating single parents and end up touching their kids. It's just not worth the risk especially since Kennady isn't old enough to talk and tell me if something happened.  The only thing I'm trying to do right now is spend time with my family. IF I wanted to date I would want someone who wants to add to my life in a positive way and not take from me. That can be a tall order.

1. If  this hadn't happened you wouldn't have your beautiful child. This one really grates on my nerves. People say it thinking they are showing the bright side. YES Kennady will ALWAYS be the bright spot in my life but that doesn't change the hell and stress I went through with her donor. Just because my daughter is awesome (and she really is) doesn't take away from the fact I was emotionally abused and then abandoned. Then I was further emotionally abused by basically being told that my daughter and myself should have died due to his other family not receiving proper medical care. For me personally being treated in this manner was not only unfair but highly unnecessary. Thankfully it has made me a stronger person and a better more protective mother.

Car Seat Cover Review

I received the most adorable pink chevron print car seat cover from Bonafide Baby. I had a car seat cover for Kennady right after she was born. It was rather thick and I was slightly afraid to use it in the Las Vegas heat. She even seemed to sweat when I used it during the winter. So I stopped using it. This one is a bit thinner but still protective. It's been hitting 115 degrees here and I've used it to shield  my daughter from sun going in and out of places. No Sweating! It is 100% machine washable. Which is always a mom perk.
 On my daughter Bugaboo stroller with Graco Snugride infant car seat.

The cover also came with a great stroller hook. It's kinda like the Mommy hook only smaller and much more padded. I hung my Ju-Ju-Be BeQuick bag off of it and it worked perfectly.
All in all this is a great great for a new mom (or a not so new mom).

*I received this product free for review purposes. However the opinions are all my own.*

All About That Bass Mommy Edition

LMAO I just had to share this. I know many of you moms out there can so identify. Enjoy! This is not my video nor do I have anything to do with the making of this video. I just thought it was a hoot and so very true.

4th of July

I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July. I have always loved the Independence holiday. I've always been blessed to spend it with good friends, good food and great fireworks. This year was no different. The lady next door came over with plates and plates of food.(so I didn't have to cook). It was wonderful. Kennady had cranberry pork roast , mixed veggies, tofu fries and mango.  I had a hot dog no bun , baked beans , green beans and a burger patty no bun. We ALL ate very well lol Then after the sun went down we went and sat outside and watched the fire works. I love living here we had fire works lighting up the night sky on all 4 sides around our community. I wore my tiny princess just in case the loud booms scared her but she was fine. It was a magical night had by all. They shot off fire works until well after 3am. We went in the house at 9:30 (way past Kennady's 7:30pm bedtime). I sat in my bedroom window and watched them until way too late. It was beautiful and oddly very peaceful. I enjoyed it.

Dunkin' Donuts

To the amazing lady I met in Dunkin' Donuts almost 2 years ago now while I was pregnant. You were a nice lady with a kind face. You asked could you touch my overly round baby bump. Something in your eyes told me that you needed this. You told me your story about trying to conceive for a number of years and I shared my story. I tried my best to put forth a message of hope for you and your journey. I think of you every
time I drive by that DD. I often wonder if you have been able to live your dream of becoming a mother. I've prayed many times for you and your struggles. Being blessed to be a mother has been by far the most amazing thing ever. I do pray they you are able to live your own blessing. There was something about you that stuck in my heart. If you have yet to have your beautiful baby PLEASE do not give up. God has a special plan for you. God used you to remind me how truly blessed I am.
For that I am thankful.

Blogging By Proxy

My sister has declined to start a blog about her adventures in buying a home. Something about working full time, chasing after a two-year-old, and having to wash dishes in her master bathroom sink every night.

These are some stories that need to be shared. For instance, the tile guy asked for part of his payment in cash. Why, my sister asked my brother-in-law? "Because he spent all his money at the Pink Pony and he wants to go back." (That's a strip club.)

Then there was the fence guy who had to cancel his initial appointment with her because when he "went to get in the car this morning, the door fell right off." We all had a good laugh at that excuse. They rescheduled the appointment and she fully expected him to pull up in a hooptie. Nope. He pulled up in the exact same make and model of car she drives.

They have a Pink Pony up there too?!?

Well, I guess that's better than calling your strip club the Pink Taco.

Ah, Moonbeam.  It’s so cute.  And so goofy.  That’s why it’s so neat.  I like Moonbeam.

Moonbeam, Ontario welcome alien sign on Highway 11

I want to say that the alien’s name is Youpi, but I think that’s the name of the Montréal Expos’s mascot

Moonbeam is a small francophone town of about 1000 (which is big compared to places like Mattice, let alone Harty!)  It is so clean, so well kept, and, well, so spunky.

From what I’ve been told, the town got its name from railway workers who insisted that a beam of light from the moon hit the tracks one night.  And thus Moonbeam was named.  And with the help of hippies and a few dedicated locals, the name stuck.Moonbeam, Ontario's flying saucer on highway 11Moonbeam loves its space theme.  The flying saucer is one of Highway 11’s most famous monuments and is known throughout Ontario.  There is the Blue Moon Motel and Chip Stand (motel + chip truck = awesome combo) which features space stuff on its signs.  Moonbeam has its own mascot which is a little green alien whose name I can’t remember.  He’s on all their signs which are all over Highway 11’s eastern portion. I think I even have him on a shirt pin.

Alien ship stuck in Moonbeam, Ontario because of the cold

It was so cold I had to wear my gorilla gloves. I can’t believe we posed outside without a hat

But it’s not all rockets and asteroids with Moonbeam.  They have a vision and they’re realizing it.  There’s the Centre Culturel and the Leonard Art Gallery.  The town has some of the best hiking, cycling, and walking trails in northeastern Ontario.  Moonbeam has its own snowmobile club with trails that are groomed in the winter (it’s the first place I’ve ever seen a snowmobile trail groomer.)  Just north of town there is Remi Lake and René Brunelle Provincial Park, which I’m told has a waterslide.  There is also fishing, swimming, and canoeing/kayaking.

Moonbeam’s most famous son would be sculptor Maurice Gaudreault.  Gaudreault is well-known within Canadian ceramic circles for his work depicting life in northern Ontario through clay.

There’s also a short film called Leaving Moonbeam about a young girl trying to hitch a ride out of Moonbeam.

Moonbeam actually has a fair amount to do and is totally worth a stop, or even more so, an actual visit.

  4. My grandmother (Soucie) ran the hotel in Moonbeam around 1940′s and apparently Al Capone used to hide out there during his notorious activities.
    I read a book called Moonbeam during my time at St. Jerome College in 1960 but can’t find a copy of it. Would love to get it.

  5. Born in Moonbeam in 1951, lived there for 5 years , then moved to Val Albert and started school there.. moved away when I was 20 but visit my family every year, wether they like it or not . Planning on spending more time there now that I’m retired.

  6. Great Post! The mascot’s name is KILO ! And also, Della Pieta Restaurant is still open (and they make great Pizza) I was born and raised in Moonbeam and I can safely say that there is no better place on earth to grow up. We don’t spend a lot of time inside… In winter, the outdoor skating rink is always full and so is our small Ski Hill (which is run by volunteers!). Moonbeam’s Nature Trail system is one of the nicest in the province and links the town to Remi Lake. In the summer, we all flock to Remi Lake (6km North of Moonbeam) where René Brunelle Provincial Park is with its sandy beaches. There’s good fishing and swimming on that lake. There’s always something going on in Moonbeam… it’s a village (we call it ‘Le village’) that’s alive, full of great people.

    • I so agree with you. Lived there until age 20, moved away for studies, traveled the world and saw wonders. Somehow, Moonbeam is way up there as my favourite place.

  7. The story says that almost everybody has seen ufos there but I lived there until I was 20 and never heard anybody having seen ufos. And actually almost none of my friends even knew why they built a spaceship. That was kind of something we laughed about. I don’t say that it didn’t happen but not everybody knows about it. But now I am very curious and would love to learn more

  8. Robert Szep, aka Canada’s Meteorite Man, is gone (he passed away on November 12, 2010). How then could this Guelph resident have said on April 17, 2013 at 11:37 pm what you quoted?:

    From what I have heard over the years MOONBEAM is a LOT MORE notorious for UFO sightings than any website lets on.

    Apparently almost every person who lives there has seen UFOs on more than one occasion.

    It is the CANADIAN equivolent to Roswell NM.

    And what’s-up with your own private TUNGUNSKA???

Black Velvet at The Whisky

Melissa K. of Black Velvet

Black Velvet, The Whisky, April 15, 2017 (opening for Missing Persons)

It was another wildly memorable Saturday night at the world famous Whisky, and the Sunset Strip was ready to go retro 80’s to the classic sounds of Missing Persons. Whether or not you were Walking In L.A. comtemplating what Words are for, or playing some Mental Hopscotch, Dale Bozzio and her band were ready to enrapture your world with the many Missing Persons hits from the glorious past.

One of Dale’s main themes of the night was simply to be yourself – be fearlessly original – and certainly illuminating Dale’s vision was the brilliantly unique and vibrantly effervescent direct support act for Missing Persons – a dazzling up-and-coming rock and roll collective who go by the name of Black Velvet.

In a town oversaturated with bands looking to break through into the big leagues, Black Velvet is the kind of shimmering gem that is euphorically exciting to discover. Black Velvet opened with the vividly theatrical one-two punch of Thunder and Outrageous, captivating the senses and setting the imagination in flight. There is a grand amount of passion and sheer artistry to be found within the auditory adventures of Black Velvet, and the crowd hell-bent on seeing Missing Persons were definitely paying attention to what this local band was unveiling within the hallowed walls of The Whisky.

Front and center is the alluring Award winning vocalist Melissa K., with a compelling stage presence and a thrilling vocal range – exuding a wondrous sense of magic and intrigue with the delivery of each and every song. Melissa K. has been singing professionally since the age of 11, and her spirited performance was radiantly and inspiring.

Craig Pirtle of Black Velvet

Supremely complimenting Melissa K.’s brilliant artistry is Black Velvet’s 20-year-old guitar virtuoso Craig Pirtle, whose stunning axe work and showmanship stands out in a vast and epic way. What a wonderful team these two massively talented individuals make! And if all this isn’t enough to thoroughly impress even the most jaded of music critic, the rest of the Black Velvet lineup is on fire and ready to launch it all into the stratosphere, including tonight’s participation of Mac Bryce on guitar, Blake Baldwin on bass, and Mike Turco on drums.’

In addition to their own timeless songs, Black Velvet gave everyone a sneak preview of their upcoming rock opera Sorceress, and the compositions were bewitching! Now working on both their debut album and the Sorceress magnum opus, Black Velvet possesses a grand amount of innovation – just like the headlining act Missing Persons did in the 80’s and continue to do so to this very day.  The dynamic duo of Missing Persons and Black Velvet made this particularly Saturday night on Sunset an electrifying experience!

Upcoming Black Velvet shows at The Whisky include a headlining date on May 19th and the debut of the Sorceress rock opera on July 7th! Be sure to check into the glorious refrains of Black Velvet and prepare to be thoroughly enchanted by the sonic entreaties of this immensely creative Inland Empire-based collective.

Why Bill Daley Quits as White House Chief of Staff

Bill Daley has resigned as White House Chief of Staff. Budget Director Jack Lew will take over for Daley.

Why? Nothing seemed especially amiss. Republicans have not shown they can beat President Obama. Why break what isn't broken? Because something is broken and we just don't know yet. Keep watching.

My birthday gift from Steadfast

Steadfast gave me this grain mill for my birthday. Isn't it pretty? It makes nice flour, too. :)

“Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong—these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.” - Winston Churchill

Catherine, Mary and Lydia

We had a get-together at our home and someone snapped this photo of our middle three girls after they had been running around in 94F degree heat. :) Yes, it has been unseasonably warm, but it looks like we'll finally get down below 40F tomorrow night. (yay!)
