pickle time



It might be too late to pick up this issue of Canadian Family Magazine (I think it was last month) but it's not too late to make pickles.
We shot this last year and Lulu had so much fun.
A fun super easy thing to do with kids and doesn't cost a fortune.
It really teaches them about food, where it comes from and what we can do to it to make taste delicious.

Since I'm in self promotion mode....if you didn't catch the season premier of The Style Department on HGTV last night it's on again today @ 3:30 and Saturday @ 10 a.m.
I think the room looked great and I guess I didn't come off looking too terrible (as I had originally feared)
Let me know whatcha think.
For fun pickle recipes check out the canadian family magazine website.
what's not to love about pickles?
yum.

watched it tonight with a nice hot cup of chai tea! you definitely didn't 'come off looking too terrible' in fact, you were fabulous! i loved the room, your fabric choices were exactly my taste...exactly what i want to redo my bedroom in.
ps-lulu looks so much like you, wow! no wonder she's so darn cute, her mama is!

awe shucks....thanks ms.p
it was a lot of fun shooting the show and I was relieved that it turned out well.
let's just hope the other 5 episodes I'm on are not too embarassing..

The article looks great - even in small pics the styling looks fantastic, as does Lulu!

And thanks for letting us know which show it is - seeing that I work at HGTV, screening the episodes shouldn't be too hard!
