Our Summer Part 1

Here are photos from the cottage we stayed at in July.  We had our nephew Andrew with us so each kid was given a day to take photos here they are:  So cute

Andrew's Pix:

Ok I took this one at the ice cream factory.  Andrew's good but that's him in the photo...

Love this one so artsy!

THE OLYMPICS!

We are so excited for the Olympics!!  We love watching all the events.  We spent 3 hrs watching the Opening Ceremonies last night...a little long?!

In 96 we went to the Summer Olympics to watch my cousin Alison compete in the kayaking.  Alison competed in the Barcelona and in Atlanta, representing Canada at the Olympics.  It was so exciting and so much fun!!!  Above are my souvenirs I still have from that experience.  I am so proud of Ali and I do not hesitate to brag about her, especially now that the Olympics are on again.  Chance of a lifetime!!!

Go Canada GO!!

Que-pon Queen?

Have you seen the show on TLC Extreme Couponing?  They end up spending up to $1000 and then only paying $5 for the 3 grocery carts full of items.  If I lived in the States I would totally be one of those extreme couponers.  Here in Canada it is not so easy.  I find you end up buying stuff that you normally would not have bought.  There is a great website that can help you double up your savings though.  It is www.canadianfreestuff.com.  The feature I love best is COUPON MATCH UPS.  They take the weekly flyers from a variety of grocery stores and let you know what is on sale and whether there is a coupon that you can piggyback to that sale item.  There are also options that let you get the coupons mailed to you or you can get free stuff to try. 

Just thought I'd pass it on!

Best Potatoes...mmmmmm good:P

I just discovered this recipe off of another website but I changed it up just a bit because I worked with what I had on hand:

Smashed & Trashed Potatoes

6 large potatoes cut in half or a collection of mini/baby potatoes do not discriminate based on colour (all are welcomed)
Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Salt (I use sea salt)
Vinegar

Boil your potatoes until fork tender
Drain
Take potatoes and put them on a greased cookie sheet and smash them with a potato masher.  Keep them in tack so they are still together only flatten
Drizzle a little olive oil on them, shake a little salt and add as much parm as you love
Bake @425F for 25 minutes
Drizzle (love that word) with vinegar (or not your choice)
