As a kid, my favourite spread was Nutella. My parents often packed me a Nutella sandwich for lunch… Who am I kidding, this was the 80’s, I packed my own lunch.  But my love for Nutella didn’t end in my childhood. Nutella is actually a pantry staple in our house. Which came in extremely handy […]

If you have kids, you have mess.  It’s true… a known fact even. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, their either lying, are really quick to clean up, are in major denial or they don’t have kids.  Kids = messy! It’s a math equation.  Trust me on this one. So when my very independent […]
