Happy Food: More Edible Flowers
We’ve recently been talking about edible flowers on the blog, specifically dandelions. Today I wanted to share about my new obsession, lilacs! I’ve had it in mind to try baking with lilacs for a few years, but our lilac blossoms come & go so quickly. This year, I was able to catch them just in time!
Happy Food: Edible Flowers
Summer is fast approaching, but I’ve been trying to take note of our spring garden treats. Spring in Calgary can go by so quickly! One of our shortest seasons. Blossoms today, gone tomorrow. Our simple backyard garden in the city offers some lovely nibbles though & that’s what I want to share with you today.

In the Studio: Room Makeover
Back in January, I started my sewing room makeover. Well, not just a makeover, an entire move. My studio space was originally in the extra bedroom on our main floor, but as we make space in our world for a future adoption & my craft business changes, it became necessary to move it into the basement. Finally getting around to sharing some of the process and the “after”.
Living With Essential Oils: April Picks
Oh dear, April is getting away on us. It’s already half done! Our last couple weeks have been bogged down by a chest cold running through the house and I seem to have gotten worse than anyone else. And the snow. Oh the snow. It’s the gift that keeps on giving this year and we’d really appreciate if it would just stop, or at least turn into rain. Hard to be motivated for spring. But IT IS technically spring! So here’s a quick little essential oils inspiration for {what’s left} of this month!
Board Games for Kids
I’ve probably hinted before that it has been a long winter in these parts. The warm sun is shining, but there are huge mounds of snow yet to melt. And we are currently in the middle of Spring Break for the kiddo. I’m sure we’re not the only ones needing some fresh inspiration for activities, so I’m sharing some of our favourite board & card games to play together.

Farm Days: Farmhouse Kitchen
The farmhouse build is chugging along! The growing season will be upon us before we know it {we’ve already got seeds started} and this space needs to get functional real quick! I understand & fully accept that we will be settling into our farmhouse over the coming years, so not every room is going to be completely polished in adorable decor by June. Gosh, we probably won’t even have “finished” flooring in large chunks of the house. C’est le vie. But functioning toilets, sinks & showers and a mostly completed kitchen are top on my list. Today, I’m sharing a peek at the kitchen progress.
