We made it to Calgary! The dogs are ecstatic, we’re overjoyed, and the car is happy to be resting. When I was in Calgary a couple of weeks ago to look for a home for us, little pieces aligned and, miraculously, Kevin and I were able to get our Airdrie home back. The universe works…

Lemon Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

Celebration is a beautiful thing. Celebration is a surrender to what is; a wholehearted appreciation for the present moment. Celebrating our lives, our bodies, our circumstances, our food, our allergies; everything that has led us up to this point, is our choice.

Summer Mayo-free Potato Salad

Here in Canada, our long weekend was this past weekend. There were barbecues lit up everywhere, the smell of charcoal at every turn, and; because 3 days off warrants a visit from a special friend, Angela made the trek to Montreal to join in the long weekend festivities. We grilled to our hearts content, watched…
