My favourite room in my house

Anyone who knows me personally can agree when I say that my favourite room in my house is my kitchen.

Not because it’s fancy, which, it’s not.   

Not because it’s clean & tidy, which it most often, is not. 

Most definitely not because of the great view out my window, which is my neighbours garage.

But because that’s the place where I get to create! That is the place where all the ‘magic’ happens. That’s the place where I go from ‘mom’ to ‘magician’ and I can just let my imagination run free!

I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE to bake (this is not an exaggeration).  What I also love, is a baking challenge.

I have a few friends with restricted diets and I have had the opportunity to bake for them. I have friends that can’t have sugar or dairy and only certain kinds of flour. 

This was quite a challenge for me in the beginning, but I have done a lot of research and have learnt sooooo much in the process. Through this, I have also been learning how to make my own baking more healthier. I have also been able to bake ‘specialty’ goodies for church functions, which is such a pleasure for me because we have many gluten free members in our church family and I believe that every one should be able to enjoy cookies at special events!

Through my research I have come across a great food blog that is gluten free, sugar free & often dairy free. Check it out here.

This is one of her recipes:

Healthy Banana Nut Muffins.

I made them yesterday and they were fabulous!!!  They were moist and soft and sooo delicious. You couldn't even tell that there was NO sugar in them! The friends that I made them for liked them too, that’s always a bonus!

 

What’s your favourite room?

‘Fun Days’ of Summer

   This week were supposed to get really nice weather again, so I probably wont post much. This past weekend we had ‘Fun Days’ in my town. There was all kinds of things to keep you busy. Friday evening was community slo-pitch, and a wiener roast after. Saturday was a free pancake breakfast, a slo-pitch tournament all day, bouncers for the kids, face painting, petting zoo, a flea market, a silent auction, evening entertainment, and so much more. It was a busy place to be! In the morning, we went as a family for breakfast and then my husband went to go help a friend of his, so it was just me and the kids. I took them to the ‘Fun Days’ for lunch and we stayed for a few hours. It was very hot, and they needed naps so we came home and relaxed for the rest of the day. Here are some pictures from our weekend: We ate a lot of freezies, and cotton candy, got our faces painted, and tried to find shade where ever we could! It was a really great day! I love summer festivals, ...

My Mid-Life Crisis?

This has been a very difficult year for me. I turned 35 this year and I feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis. I have been trying to 'find' myself again. For the last 12 years I have pretty much had things figured out but this year when my youngest started grade 2, it felt like my whole life tipped over. Now, there wasn't any outward tragedy that I went through, no, it was more of an emotional, internal struggle that has been taking place. Realizing that my family doesn't need me the same way, but they still need me. Having a lot more free time and not knowing how to fill it, actually, to say that I didn't want to do my domestic chores to fill my time would be more accurate. So many decisions were suddenly available to me, decisions I hadn't considered in years. "Do I get a job? Full or part time? What kind of job? Do I go to school - just take some courses or get a degree? What kind of courses/degree? Do we have the money for me to go t...
