I have realized that I don’t write enough about my chickens. So today, I will do exactly that. Oh, where to begin? These ladies were precisely the reason we moved out here in the first place. Silly? I suppose. But true. We were longing for a simpler life, growing and making our own wherever we…
Spring!
The most amazing thing happened on the weekend – Spring! Well, one day of it at least. The snow did return yesterday, but that is just part and parcel for living in Canada, eh? But that one day – goodness, it was good. We spent every last minute outside and enjoying the sunshine (and the…
Tea Cup Candle
Here’s the thing about homemade Christmas presents. I love them! But I hardly ever (never) accomplish all that I hope I will. Luckily my sisters have birthdays in March which gives me a few extra months to put the finishing touches on gifts (Or begin them … ). I saw these cute teacup candles at…

A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. I have a very good friend who cooks very good food. Super healthy food.

My little sister is one of a kind. Thoughtful, sweet, and always has been. Truly. She is just one of those amazing people. She has…
Sometimes a Mama LIES …
I wish I wasn’t writing this post. I wish I was writing to tell you about all of the fluffy baby chicks we now have in our barn. I wish I was writing about what a wonderful Mama Chloe turned out to be. I wish I was telling you this, but I’m not going to….
Chloe is soon to be a Mama! (…hen)
Perhaps you remember a few weeks ago when I excitedly wrote to you about our broody hen? Our sweet Henny Penny who had taken to laying her eggs in a nest in the bush? Well, it turns out she wasn’t broody at all … That sweet girl simply decided she would rather lay her eggs…
A Different Way of Doing Things…
You may have noticed something a little different around here over the past few months. No more distracting, terrible advertising. It had been something I had wanted to be rid of for quite some time, but was not exactly sure how to accomplish it. I finally deleted them the day a video liposuction ad showed…
Crispy Kale Chips
Oh the July garden! May I show you, please? (The beauty of the internet: I am pretending you said yes with smiling eyes) Well, okay then … My snap peas are growing! A titch slower than I had expected them to, but growing. I think they will take off any day now and the kids…
