Last month we celebrated the birthday of my favourite person! He helped me out by running my errands one morning while I was at work, which included buying a birthday present for himself…good thing I had a couple surprises up my sleeve, like a shirt peppered with cacti (thank you, online shopping ;) I also […]
About Anna
I believe in God, the power of optimism, and the ability of food to bring people together. I love to share everyday homemade food with family and friends (and the internetz)! I love cheese, proper grammar, an organized house, dark chocolate, my husband, and my 5 sweet kids.

Monday Moments: Pool Sharks
Look at these two adorable pool sharks in their matching garb :) Kristopher has laser focus, listens intently to instructions, and never forgets anything. My little rule follower and firm believer in practice-makes-perfect, he is a mini of his Dad in more than just his wardrobe choices. He’s also just as easy to love. Look […]
Ricardo’s Peanut Butter Brownies
February!! Have you all fallen off the healthy eating bandwagon yet? Are my Whole30 barely-acquaintances ready to become my real, fun friends again? Because brrrrooooooowwwnies! Basically I have (re)taken up exercising so I can (re)take up consuming more brownies. Ricardo (well, probably not him personally) kindly sent me a copy of this gorgeous magazine, and […]
Gingerbread Pancakes
Gingerbread, minus the problem that is nutmeg, is my pumpkin spice. There is no cozier flavour or homier smell; fall and winter are just made for gingerbread. I have a recipe for chewy gingersnaps I make all year, and my kids would choose them over chocolate chip cookies any day. I also have a recipe […]
Monday Moments: Catch Up
Well, it has been aWHILE! I’m not entirely clear on why hackers gotta hack, but hey, we’re back. Where were we? Since we last chatted, my baby turned ONE! It is shocking. He is walking, throwing things in the toilet, hugging, laughing, eating, etc. Basically everything except talking, which happens to be my personal favourite […]
Chop Chop: Personalised Cutting Board
Carl and I recently watched a documentary about minimalism that convinced him to donate half his clothes, all the kids’ toys except the Lego, and half the furniture. The show talked about the benefits of only keeping things that bring you joy, so that everything in your home speaks to you and reflects you. The same […]
Peanut Butter & Honey Krispie Treats
There’s a blanket on my couch that I’m very protective of. I bought it on a whim at Superstore last year, and ended up spending most of the first two weeks of nights with Jack under it on the couch. There was something about the softness of that blanket hitting us that calmed us both […]
Monday Moments: Walking the Walk
You guys, I have never had a child walk before the age of one. I always figured they inherited a healthy dose of my poor coordination, combined with low motivation due to the option of being carried by a sucker of a mom. Number five, however, is intent on blazing a new trail. Step 1: […]
Monday Moments: Five
Birthdays come fast and furious in the fall months here, with celebrations in August, September, November, and December. Due to the 4-day spread between Theo’s and my birthdays, I generally share whatever cake he chooses, and this year, due to a weekend out of town for work, I even shared his day. I got home at […]
Monday Moments: Time Marches On
But where, I ask you, is the time going? Christmas is going to be upon us in two shakes of a lamb’s tail, as they say. Which is ok, because I love Christmas, but I also really love fall, and it is flying by at record speed, and Christmas means my baby will be one. ONE! […]
