If you were to ask Max what his favourite park is he would say Selkirk. We headed to this wee gem of a park on an overcast day in July for a picnic and exploration. The first thing we noticed after we parked was the beautiful view. Waves crashing up on the rocky shore surrounded…

Knit one, knead a little
It has been a really long time since I have written much at all. Aside from Instagram blips here and there I really haven’t found myself with the urge to write. Perhaps a lack of inspiration, the winter blahs and a bit of just not knowing which direction I am heading have held me back….
’tis the season – thinking small
Local Places to shop/eat/sip this holiday season
HR Ceramics – a look at another lovely Canadian artist
Just before Christmas I happened upon HR Ceramics (Quebec) on Instagram – yes I find most things on this platform; it is my favourite. I noticed that Hanna had made this sweet country inspired mug that I wanted to buy for my country loving sister in law. I reached out through a direct message and…
Back to the basics
We are already in to 2018 and so far I have been rather productive! I am not a traditional resolution maker – in the past I have just disappointed myself after failing 3wks in to a new year and who needs that?! So I set a mental goal list instead. One that is loose and…

CSA love + Matz Fruit Barn
As some of you know I have been participating in Matchbox Garden’s CSA for a few years now. I love the weekly drive out to Caledonia and throughout the summer the kids and I stop and wander along the river enjoying the scenery before we pick up our share. The last two years Hanna has…
School Days + New Routine
And just like that September is in full swing and fall routines have begun. As much as I appreciate the consistency that comes with school days I would be lying if I said I am not missing the tiny voices -that drove me batty just last week 😉 – calling me repeatedly. This year is…
