What we are growing in our garden

What we are growing in our garden

Posted on by Jupiter

After spend a lot of last spring and summer creating the ideal back garden for our household, this year we just have to maintain it really! There are a few small tasks that we want to do this year, primarily around taming our blackberry bush and possibly getting rid of a stump or two. However, our main thing this year is just enjoying what we created last year. We have moved our little vegetable patch into a spot that gets slightly more light and started checking on our blooms in our garden.

Midweek Meal Inspo; Potato Bowls, Carbonara, Chicken Burgers and more.

Posted on by Jupiter

This week, we brought back some summertime favorites and tired some new twists on old favorites too. We eat a lot of tacos and chicken burgers, but dived into two new ways to make them! We also had some time this week for both Amelia and Kai to help make dinner, as both of them asked, which is always a fun experience. Taking the time to teach your children to cook delicious food, especially at their age, is such an important task and one I find a lot of joy in doing!

When it comes to photography, years ago I got a Cannon EOS 800D, the same camera I used in high school. I had, during my time in high school, became a published artist for my photography. I was featured in galleries and my art was sold at charity auctions. I really enjoyed the heavy feeling of a camera, and as I had not had a mobile phone, it was just fun to be able to take a bunch of pictures.

Power Hungry Pets - Simply based on luck!

Power Hungry Pets – Simply based on luck!

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] From the creators of Exploding Kittens, Power Hungry Pets is a new, easy to play card game with not a lot to actually remember. In this game, you’ll need to bluff and luck your way to victory. Often we find with Robin’s age (she’s 8 years old) that she gets overwhelmed with card games. There generally is just too much going on and she needs to be in a team, but Power Hungry Pets doesn’t have that issue at all.

Baking with Wright's Baking Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia Bread Mix

Baking with Wright’s Baking Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia Bread Mix

[Ad- gifted product] I do not consider myself a baker, but I am a good cook! We often do a lot of cooking as a family, especially as all three of our children love helping out in the kitchen. When it comes to baking, however, I tend to my two homemade muffin recipes, my one cake recipe, and then trying out box mixes. I came across Wright’s Baking Orange Cake Mix, which came out far better than expected, so I was excited to try the Wright’s Baking Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia Bread Mix. If you don’t know, Focaccia is often quite challenging to make, especially as the dough often needs to rest over night, but this pre-made mix actually said it only needed to rest three times, at 15 minutes each.
