“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”

Parents, youngsters and wanna-be anglers everywhere are invited to experience Canada’s amazing outdoors!
With over 1 million lakes, rivers and streams plus three oceans, Canada can justly boast one of the most diverse natural environments on the planet. Fishing offers Canadians an opportunity to experience this vast landscape for themselves. Whether they’re seeking a little serenity, a getaway with family, or a heart-pounding adventure on the water, fishing offers it all.
So get out there and Go Fishing!
National Fishing Week is supported by Catch Fishing, a national program dedicated to encouraging Canadians to get outdoors and enjoy our angling heritage throughout the year. It is supported by federal, provincial and territorial governments, as well as hundreds of organizations and businesses that work hard to ensure sustainable fishing opportunities while safeguarding fish populations everywhere.

Happy Fishing!

Today is Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day?
NATIONAL DON’T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK DAY
On February 11 th, Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day is celebrated by many as a day to think positive. Look on the bright side of things then carry that with you every day after. Do not worry and do not stress over the little things. Life is to short to let the little things bother us. Do not look at the negative in things, look for the positive. I know We all battle to think positive sometimes but we must train ourself to push away negative thoughts so we can have a more enjoyable life.
Everyone knows that unexpected or unplanned things happen in life, sometimes on a daily basis. To help handle this is to find something good in all things. With a positive attitude, life is much brighter and easier.
Don’t cry over spilled milk.
I know I need to retrain myself to be more positive and let the negativity fall by the wayside. I'm a work in progress and still in training, haha!
National Make a Friend Day!
NATIONAL MAKE A FRIEND DAY
Always celebrated on February 11th, National Make A Friend Day, is a wonderful opportunity to meet someone new and make a new friendship. Friends serve a very important role in everyone’s lives. They are one of life’s most valuable assets.
It is very easy in the busyness of today’s world to miss out on spending time with our friends. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of the importance of friendship. We need to take a break from our hectic lives and spend time with our friends and February 11th, let’s take that time to make a new friend. Where ever you are, whatever you are doing, say “hi” to someone, start up a conversation, and make a new friend! You will be glad that you did.
An honest answer is the sign of true friendship.

DIY Winter Accesories by using and old sweater
I found this great video tutorial and just loved it! You take a sweater and if you don't have one you can get one at your local thrift store. One sweater makes 5 accessories, mittens, infinity scarf, hat, leggings, boot toppers. I am going to do this project for Christmas gifts as I am not working and this will keep me busy and the finished products look great as well. Here is the awesome video compliments of fashiontoppings.
I love that she explains it well, step by step for a no fail project!

Do you use Sugar or a Sugar Substitute?-Get Free samples here!
I am trying to cut back on sugar as it is not healthy for the body. There are so many artificial sweeteners and I have never really found one that didn't have an after taste. I have tried Sweet n low, sugar twin, equal and splenda did care for most of them. My brother is diabetic so I want to start cooking sugar free for a healthier me and my brother.
I came across an article about Truvia and though I would investigate more.
The Stevia plant is native to Paraguay, where people have grown, harvested and used it as a sweetener for hundreds of years. Today, it is grown in Asia and South America due to its need for long hours of daylight, water and warmth.
