Laundy Room to Kitchen Table

I learned something today as I was reading about washing wool garments. I always thought it was the water temperature that shrunk the clothes. Thanks for teaching me otherwise. I cut it out and taped it on the inside cupboard in my laundry room.

I liked the PaSu Farm article & websites. The magazine is beside the kitchen table, so when a family member sits down for a snack they pick it up.My teenagers are getting lots of good health ideas which they’re passing along to their friends.

A Little Romance Goes A Long Way

I will pass on the “Pack a Fireside Picnic” article to my fella as an idea for a romantic evening instead of going to a restaurant.Wouldn’t that be fun! Also, your article on “Get the Skinny on Fat” was excellent – so much in a tidy package. It has inspired me to look at my weight gain and do something about it.

Just For Kids Is Just Fine

The children’s section caught my eye. I am a new mom of a toddler and it is important to me to learn how to give her food that is not only nutritious, but different and fun to keep her interested in healthier choices.

Hit the Road

I love the recipes and local agriculture and food related tourist stops.

I am a lover of road trips and plan on travelling the province over the spring and summer, I already have received tons of information from Alberta Tourism but planning these adventures to check out destinations such as the PaSu Farm would be delightful! Thanks.
