I want to kick off this post by saying – I am not a fan of gingerbread. I never have been. When I think of gingerbread, I think of those rock hard spicy cookies you use to build gingerbread houses. I really don’t think that gingerbread houses are meant to be eaten…someone tell me I’m wrong! I suppose I just […]
The husband has come through with another great Husband Hack for me to post! Life has been really busy here, especially as soon as that hot weather hit us. We are currently in the middle of a heat wave warning for Western Canada, so have been trying to soak up as much hot summer goodness as possible! Summers in Canada […]
Life is picking up here in our household! We just got back from our first camping trip of the year, and are already prepping to head out on another trip this coming weekend. Summer is officially on. And with the onset of summer, comes a parade of watermelons in this house! Cue the next Husband Hack. If you missed last […]
As mentioned in my IG Stories recently, I’m kicking off a mini series of posts I’m dubbing “Husband Hacks” in honour of Father’s Day. Since we’re not a big gifting family, perhaps this is my way of acknowledging what a great father he is! My husband is an amazing caretaker to myself and the kids. Part of great caretaking requires […]
Hey Friends, I’m back with yet another baking post! Can you take a wild guess at how I’m primarily passing the time at home? Let’s just say, I have not stepped on a scale since self isolation protocols began because I am sure I will be in for some disappointment. Today, I share an easy berry muffins recipe with you. […]

Last week, I felt like chowing down on vanilla cupcakes, so I broke out the stand mixer and whipped up a batch. This week, I opened the pantry and a jumbo size tub of peanut butter was staring me right in the […]
The year is 2020, and the entire world is on lock down. It’s quite surreal. With 100% of my daily coffees now prepared and enjoyed at home, I think my routine needed a bit of extra pizzaz the other day to knock me out of the mundane. I was craving a cupcake to have with my coffee. So naturally, I […]
The one thing about being a new mom is that I have lost sense of the days of the week and of which holidays are right around the corner. Canada Day is not anything big in our household, but I was feeling festive this year for some reason. In all honesty, I would love to make a little something out […]
This year’s Mother’s Day activity involved macarons, tea and a picnic in the park. Ever on the quest and looking for tips for making the perfect macarons, the women in my family took the macaron baking class at Ollia Macarons & Tea. As with anyone who gives making macarons a try quickly learns…it is far from easy! I have made […]
