Right now, I'm feeling pretty fantastic. How are you doing? What do you feel like as you move through today? Are you rested? Happy? Satiated? All of the above? None of the above? I was super lucky this morning as my parents took the kids out for a long boat ride, giving me some time... Continue Reading →
32. So. Many. Peaches. 2 Amazing Toys. And More Reflections From Yesterday’s Post.
First up . . . the peaches. There is SO much to like about this time of year. The sweet final days of summer. The excitement of back to school. The sense that the new school year is, in so many ways, a time for fresh-starts and new beginnings. And of course, it's PEACH season.... Continue Reading →
22. Some Days are Just Perfect In Every Way (And discovering a new perfect vanilla frosting made it that much sweeter)
Today was one of those absolutely perfect days. From start to finish, I loved everything about today. I loved that I got to start reading the September editions of my favourite magazines this morning, on the dock, with the sounds of the kids and the Husband swimming in the background. I loved that it was... Continue Reading →
15. Some Days Just Call For Cake
We awoke this morning to the sound of rain. Pouring rain to be exact. So what do you do when you're stuck inside with 4 kids ranging in age from 1 through 8? You bake. Among other things. Like card games, board games, dress up, puddle jumping, swimming in the rain, movie time . .... Continue Reading →
14. Cottage Workouts II & Adventures in the Kitchen with My Son
This week has been HOT! And HUMID! Which has made working out HOT! And SWEATY!

And so, I decided to get up, and get going, and... Continue Reading →
13. Where I Fell In Love With Baking & The Cookie Recipe that I Have as a Momento
In my first post in this series of #100morselsofjoy, I talked about the resort I grew up going to ever summer, and how all the owners of the resort were related, and how each one of them took care of a specific aspect of running the resort. Well, while all the owners hold a special... Continue Reading →
10. Fresh-Out-Of-The-Oven Cherry Pie
I got a bit carried away at the grocery store a few days ago - this tends to happen to me at this time of the year - and as I took stock of the fridge this morning, I realized I had purchased several peaches that were about to become over-ripe, one massive watermelon,... Continue Reading →
3. Baking Biscuits with My Kids
Ok. So it's kind of a toss up as to what brings me more joy here . . . being in the kitchen with the kids, or these biscuits. I'll say once more . . . there's a time and a place for a paleo, real food, sugar-free diet. Summer vacation is not that time.... Continue Reading →
2. This One
This one, no matter the circumstances, is able to bring a smile to my face and joy into my life. Weekends at the cottage are a time for dividing cooking and clean-up duties. One night the Husband and I cook, and my brother and his wife clean up and we switch the next night. Tonight,... Continue Reading →
The Next 100 Days!?!
You know what I loved? I LOVED my #100daysoflookingtothesky project. I REALLY loved it. But, like I said the other day, that project has run its course. I'll never look at the sky the same way again, and I'll still reach for my phone every time I see something beautiful up above, but it's time... Continue Reading →
