So I had this idea. Make a Sugar Cookie House. And it turned out fairly darn well I must admit. You see our kids love decorating and building gingerbread houses. Generally this is an activity the cousins like to get together and do which makes it even more fun. Continue reading Sugar Cookie House
These are the most chocolate of chocolate cookies. They are amazing! Definitely a special treat. They take a ridiculous amount of chocolate and turn it into a decadent cookie. Continue reading Laura’s Triple Chocolate Cookies
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.

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.

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. 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
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!
I want summer and flamingo cupcakes! I just really do. So this warmer weather has me dancing around. Continue reading Very Easy Flamingo Cupcakes
