After not attending many weddings in recent memory, suddenly we had two within less than a month! This weekend saw us saying good-bye to the young man who has been part of our family for almost a year and a half. It was a beautiful day, and a good excuse to get dressed up and […]
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.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
I rarely make pie, but when I do, I must say I make a pretty good pie. I think Strawberry Rhubarb is my very favourite flavour. Sweet, tart, fruity, and a beautiful colour to boot! My pie dough skills leave a lot to be desired – it’s never quite the right size, it’s always crumbling, […]
Bacon Caesar Pasta Salad
Summer’s officially over before I’m even getting a chance to tell you about the salad that’s been on repeat all summer over here. It’s still hot enough here for barbecues, but if it’s not where you are, you’re going to have to put this in your back pocket for next year. With two kids who don’t […]
Monday Moments: Fallllling
The first day of fall officially arrived (happy dances!!), but summer is still mostly holding on here. Which isn’t so bad, when you know how very, very close fall is and you don’t actually have more than two sweaters that fit over your expanding baby belly. A few more days of river walks and wading. […]
Monday Moments: Birthday Boy
Just a couple weeks after the last birthday, we had another birthday to celebrate! This guy pulls at my heartstrings with his sweet nature and desire to keep the peace and make sure everyone’s happy and taken care of. He rarely asks for anything, so basically anytime he does I want to get it for […]
Zucchini Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
So the time has finally come that I own a cell phone. Which means you can ask me if you want my number, or you can just follow me on Instagram, where I’m most excited to be back so I can take selfies with flamingos. I suppose it was really only a matter of time […]
Monday Moments: Whirlwind
This week has been a blur, as evidenced by a Monday post making it’s appearance a mere hour before Tuesday is upon us. School, while not entirely anticipated by the one starting full-time or his mama, got off to a great start last week for both kids, while Theo described the newfound quiet time at […]
Strawberry & Cream Shortbread
The credit for today’s shortbread goes entirely to Gemma, and my nephew Lucas, who convinced me making roll-and-bake cookies was an excellent idea on a rainy day at home with eight children aged nine and under. Believe it or not, they were right – it was a good idea. I always love shortbread, and this […]
Monday Moments: Adventure
A spur-of-the-moment trip on a rainy afternoon that ended up not being rainy at all was a great way to spend one of the last days of summer holidays. The older two loved everything, the younger two had to find things more their speed. And the oldest two loved everything…can you tell they’re related? :) […]
Monday Moments: Two
One sweet little boy who loves to talk, sing, run, jump, and harass his older siblings has turned two. There’s no longer any denying his full toddler-hood as he spends most of his time working hard to keep up with the longer legs and louder voices surrounding him, and holding his own just fine. Every birthday […]
