The Buzz Queen

We are heading out to the lake camping tonight after the Grad ceremonies are over. The Mountie is all dressed up in his red serge escorting the grads. I left after they all came out (there’s just over 30 in this grad class) one by one with their parents. I love seeing […]

My first one ever! I can’t wait to see what everyone complains about! (haha)
I’m really not mammogram age as of yet, (in fact I’m a youthful 36) but since breast cancer now runs on BOTH sides of my family, I figured I’d better be proactive. My Grandma and my Aunt (on my Dad’s side) […]

I make this rice dish quite often before we head out camping. It’s easy and surprisingly delicious. It’s also great to have on hand for a quick meal - especially if you’ve had a busy day at the lake!
Fire-Fried Rice

1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 cups […]

So if you couldn’t tell, the ‘House of Buzz’ has officially caught the travel bug!
The girls asked me the other day where we are going for Christmas this year, so I thought I’d better get planning. Instead of going the all-inclusive route like we did last year, I decided to look into private vacation […]

I finally broke down and ordered a raised outdoor dog bed for Mr. Mattie. It’s called a Kuranda bed - they use them a lot in kennels as they’re very durable and easy to clean. Of course, I had to order the XXL as the 85lb one just wasn’t going to cut it […]

A man and a woman are riding next to each other on a private jet charter. The woman sneezes, then takes a tissue and gently wipes it between her legs. The man isn’t sure he saw what she did, and decides he is probably hallucinating. The woman sneezes again; again the tissue wipe between her […]

Well, our first time camping in the new travel trailer was not without it’s problems. For whatever reason, the brand new batteries refused to hold a charge, and the low battery alarm would go off at the most inopportune times (ie: 3am).
Besides that small annoyance, we did have a nice weekend. Great weather, […]

It’s the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada, and as we have yet to use our new travel trailer, we’re packing up and heading out to the lake for four days of camping!
The Mountie has actually already headed out with the girls, and I will be joining them with Mattie soon. I had […]

I’m actually planning on doing a full review of the Riu as a lot of friends have asked me what we thought of it, would we go back etc. For now, here are a few pictures of the resort.
The view from our balcony:

The activity pool was massive and a lot of fun:

The beach was […]

The ceremony was at 11am, which is 9am my time. Which meant I had to get up around 8, which is 6am my time. (I am not a morning person, so need to consume the required amount of caffeine before I can get moving.) Of course I made up for that early morning […]
