Langley, BC

I have a confession…I don’t cook.  Honestly…I don’t remember the last time I cooked a meal (sorry mom!)  Bub does it all, along with 99% of the grocery shopping.  To be fair though, he does love to cook and he’s very good at it…Which is ideal because I [...]

I don’t know about you, but I find life gets so busy some days that I barely have time to prepare a decent meal.  Too often I find myself opting for pre-packaged dinners, cereal, soup or pancakes (none of which are helping my waistline), because I either haven’t had a chance to [...]

Date night doesn’t happen much around my house.  Not because Bub and I are boring, but as most of you will understand, life is just so busy!  Commuting to the city everyday takes alot out of me and by the time Friday night rolls around, I generally throw out the [...]

Bub and I love sushi.  We have our regular place we order from (which I’ll write about another time), but we recently ventured beyond our routine to try a new spot that opened just a couple weeks ago.
Tanuki Sushi is a small place, located on Fraser Highway in Langley, beside the Arby’s.  If you’re not [...]

I love the Fort Toy Box!  Such a great alternative to Toy “R” Us.  It’s a small shop, packed with traditional and hard-to-find toys that remind me of my childhood:  Radio Flyer wagons, Curious George, gorgeous carved wooden animals, slinky’s, traditional dolls and figurines, great little sets of trucks [...]

So, my boyfriend Bub has decent taste in clothes.  He cleans up pretty well when he needs to and all in all, it could be worse…But there are days I’d like to tell him that his pants don’t need to be so long and his ball hat doesn’t go [...]

Ok, that was a cheesy headline to get your attention…he’s not really coming to South Surrey (as far as I know.)  But his brand is!  In the form of the Steve Nash Sports Club.  The club is set to open at Morgan Crossing on 24th Avenue by the Spring of 2010.
This state-of-the-art fitness facility offers [...]
