No more teachers, no more books! That means this sweet face is back around the house, and up and about way earlier than I ever dragged her out of bed on a school morning. She has plans to do lots of baking and cooking with me this summer, which I’m pretty happy about! It won’t […]
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: Father’s Day
While I totally agree that Mother’s and Father’s Day are fabricated holidays which convince you to spend money, I am all for spending money on other people if it helps them realise how treasured they are. I was (am) blessed with an amazing Dad, and I’m so thankful my kids get to have the same […]
Rush Hour Meals: Pork Tenderloin with Mango Avocado Salsa
I received a copy of Rush Hour Meals by Rose Reisman from Whitecap Publishing for review. I was not otherwise compensated for this post, and all opinions are, of course, my own :) Make sure to check out the giveaway at the bottom of the post! After 10 years of marriage, it was time to say […]
Monday Moments: Williversary
We’ve officially known this handsome guy for a whole year! I can now officially take pictures of him against his will. (Will’s will – *chuckles*) This happened to land in the very same week as his birthday, so this even-more-handsome guy grilled up an abundance of shish kebabs with a side of garlic bread. We’re […]
Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
I love oatmeal cookies almost as much as I love chocolate cookies. Why have I never thought to put the two together before? Too much of a rule follower? Not enough mental energy for creative thought? Probably both, a little :) Although on the mental energy front, major gains are being made here, folks. My 3 […]
Monday Moments: Crazy
These two. “Theo, can you go give Dad a snuggle for a picture?” “YAAAAAAAAAH! (attacks) Ready!” “Try again.” “YEEEAAAAAAAAAH!” I knew he didn’t get it from me.
Monday Moments: Sports Day
Friday’s rain held off until the very moment I had to head home for the little ones’ naps, so, aside from one knocking-over-by-swing-directly-into-large-puddle, Sports Day this year can be considered a great success. There was, perhaps, a little too much running, not that the kids seemed to mind in the least. And very blurry pictures […]
Monday Moments: Counter Offers
When we moved into our new home just over a year ago, Carl’s one pet peeve was the island, or lack thereof. “I want it to overhang so we can put stools there,” he said. I put stools there, and the kids sat on them endlessly, but yes, they did look a little lost. “Ok, […]
Monday Moments: Anniversary
10 years with this man! We celebrated with fish and chips on the dock, and so, so much other delicious food over two days. We scrambled on rocks for hours of exercise and amazing views. See the rocky cliff wall that extends beyond the actual path? I told Carl if we’d started on this side […]
Monday Moments: May Days
May always sneaks up on us, and then flies by at lightning speed – I know summer holidays are going to be here before we know it! In regards to that, please share your tips on camping with a fearless almost-two-year-old. Constant life jacket and helmet situation? In the meantime, in the hours after school […]
