Fun Oyster Shell Summer Art Project
Oyster Shell Art
Oyster art. Because maybe you are like us and like to bring a little of the beach home with you. Maybe you are like my self and use discernment for a special little piece of sea glass here or there. Or perhaps you are more like my youngest and it’s as much as your pockets can hold (and those of your fellow beach goers that you enlist to carry even more). Either way we like to have a summer project when our two families get together with the cousins for a week in the summer. This year it was in Powell River and we found a beach in our travels covered with the most interesting leftovers of oyster shells and inspiration hit.

Cute And Simple Back To School Cake Ideas
A great way to get excited for school is to celebrate it and we like to do that with our annual back to school cakes! Sometimes kids are super excited for back to school and sometimes super nervous and well sometimes down right ardent that they do not want to go. We have been through them all. Sometimes it’s the kids being excited and sometimes me dreading it. Sometimes the reverse. Of course kindergarten is always a little more special and nerve racking too. But one thing we have consistently done for the past several years is to celebrate the milestone with a BACK TO SCHOOL CAKE. Cake makes everything better.
My Mother-In-Law’s ** Award Winning** Peach Pie
The Best Peach Pie EVER
Peach Pie. This is it. THIS IS THE ONE. This is my very favourite pie recipe. A recipe I can make from memory now. And the one that changed how I felt about pie. Also the one that quite possibly prompted me to start a blog. The one that I still remember the first time my mother-in-law ever made it for me. This is glorious, perfect pie.

Blackberry Cinnamon Buns
Blackberry Cinnamon Buns. Yup, it’s a thing. Well at least it is now! It’s hard to believe cinnamon buns could be improved upon. But I promise you that fresh blackberries take already amazing cinnamon buns to another level. Something about the sweet and tart fruit and it’s texture that marries perfectly with a cinnamon bun and kind of blows your mind. Continue reading Blackberry Cinnamon Buns

Our Very Own Canning Party
We hosted a lovely canning party recently! Where my mother and mother-in-law were able to pass down their expertise and knowledge and teach another two generations how to can. It was a great way to spend an afternoon, resulting in many lovely spoils!

Maple Oat Scones
Hello Scones!!
We are definitely scone people!! Oh yes, yes we are. I learned to make scones from my father. I also developed my love of scones from my father. He appreciates a good scone as much as I do!
Even my Pinterest has a board dedicated just to scone recipes. Because a good scone is serious business. And our family probably has more than dozen favourite scone recipes that we use throughout the year. Continue reading Maple Oat Scones
Cinnamon and Sugar (Churro) Popcorn
Cinnamon sugar churro popcorn. Popcorn is my jam. Cinnamon + sugar or churros – yeah you’re going to get my interest there too! Put them together and you have a ridiculously good snack or sweet treat. Super yum. This recipe is a little too easy for how good it is, so I understand if we can’t be friends anymore. Or better yet we could be the type if friends who shove handfuls of cinnamony- sugary popcorn into our mouths gleefully! Continue reading Cinnamon and Sugar (Churro) Popcorn
