Valentine’s Day

Romantic Movies to Watch With Your BFF

Romantic Movies to Watch with Your BFF

By //  by Rebecca Stanisic

Valentine's Day isn't just for couples. You can spend it with anyone you love (yes, yourself included). It's the perfect excuse to indulge in your favourite romantic movies. Try a new rom-com, a romantic drama or a favourite from your past to remind you about love when we were all younger and less jaded. Maybe. Better yet, make plans to get together with a friend. Pizza and chocolate optional, but recommended.  If you are looking to watch a romantic movie with your bestie (or two, or …

Why Is Every Holiday About Kids?

By //  by Katja Wulfers

I've had it with every holiday being about kids, or kids and presents, or decorating for kids. I’m the happy mother of two kids whom I love and I spend a good percentage of my time doing things for them or with them. I wouldn’t have it any other way. But HOLY SHIT! Can one day be about adults or adults who happen to be parents? I’m not a great fan of Valentine’s Day as an enforced day of romance, but even that’s lost to us. Why is every holiday about kids? Our children already have …

Classic Sugar Cookie Recipe

Classic Sugar Cookie Recipe – Perfect for Valentine’s Day

By //  by Life In Pleasantville

Every baker needs a good sugar cookie recipe in their toolbox. Besides being fairly easy to make, they can be cut into shapes and customized for every holiday imaginable. The plain cookies also present a blank canvas for kids or adults to get creative with icing, candy and sprinkles. I've made plenty of sugar cookie recipes in my day since I was a young teenager, and this recipe is by far my favourite. Tender and buttery, they are full of vanilla flavour and are the tastiest I've made yet. I …

Cherry Tarts

Queen of Hearts Tarts – Fit for Your Royal Family

By //  by Life In Pleasantville

It's a weird world we live in, this age of technology. With the connectivity of Facebook you can keep in touch with people that you might normally lose track of, and it can bring back things you'd never expect. The other day I made this tarts and stashed them in the fridge where my 19 year old found them. If you know 19 year old boys, you know that they eat just about anything and everything. Kevin was chattering away, rummaging in the fridge for sustenance, and suddenly he stopped …

10 Things NOT to Do With Your Date for Valentine’s Day

By //  by Anne Radcliffe

Valentine's Day is coming! You know what that means? It's time to think about how to make a special statement to your loved one by using your wallet. This is assuming you have a loved one you have to open your wallet for. I'm kinda with you, Christina Applegate: how do you drop whatever you're doing in possibly the worst winter month of the year and get all touchy feely? Now, it could be that you're just bored with the usual, which probably looks something like …
