Picking Strawberries and Cherries at Cammas Hall

Every year we go to Cammas Hall for strawberries! This time of year, Robin is always into peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, we always are craving fruit, and the fruit itself is ripe for the picking. Cammas Hall is our local farm, which we attend throughout the year for pumpkin picking and other seasonal events, so we were excited to head out and see how the strawberries have done this year.

Taste Of Asia Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month Amelia and I go along to a cupcake class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie, who keeps coming up with new designs! Amelia and I really love having a little time once a month, that’s just the two of us! But, for this class (and the next one) Amelia has invited along some friends as it’s nearing the end of the school year and we have such a packed summer.

So, we went along one extremely sunny day hoping to catch some birds!

Seeing the Mountains from above with Sunkiss Ballooning

[Ad- gifted experience] Growing up in the Adirondacks, I have always seen balloons floating about, over the mountains. Dann and I have also taken our children to a few different balloon festivals in the United Kingdom, including the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, but none of us have ever ridden in the basket of a hot air balloon that has left the ground. So, Dann and I were extremely excited to get a private tour of the beautiful mountain tops in a hot air balloon with Sunkiss Ballooning.
