Canadian Budget Binder

It’s the end of another week here at Canadian Budget Binder and a busy week it’s been. We started off the week with a holiday on Monday which was the August Civic Holiday here in Canada. We spent time with our mates and had a barbeque pot-luck and ate foods from Japan, Spain and Germany. Our favourite was the sticky rice balls. I will be making this recipe and showcasing it on the blog shortly. We brought our Spanish Potato Tortilla and everyone loved it! I hope you get a chance to make it as I’m sure your guests will say the same.

I finally got most of the painting done but will be back at it next week. I did have a bit of a rough day this week on Wednesday where a migraine hit me out of no where. I almost forgot what it was like to sleep for 12 hours straight, boy was that great. I’m going to take it easy for a bit as I think I’m pulling myself in a million directions. Well at least that’s what I keep telling myself. Sometimes it’s hard to slow down when you’re a self-confessed workaholic,Type A personality who loves to help others.

A thumbs up to everyone who has mentioned Canadian Budget Binder around the web this past week. Just know that I do my best to respond as I learn of your links, tweets,shares and the like. I want to thank-you personally for taking the time to think of us here at CBB, so Thanks!

 No one has the power to make you feel unwelcome but yourself, so if you don’t feel welcome.. walk away.  -Mr.CBB
