Getting ready for our trip to Vancouver, I have at least a dozen loads of laundry that need doing. But I’m sick, so I’ve done nothing but sit on the sofa with my laptop, processing photos. I had to ‘guilt’ Hayley into showing up for the photo shoot. {FINE! Don’t Read more…
EDIT: I’ve spent the morning going over the photos, and now THIS ONE is cracking me up! * * * I really wanted to get a GOOD group shot of my kids, the kids were great and posed for dozens of shots. I wasn’t so great. When I got home Read more…
The Pioneer Woman has a new photo assignment –> YOUR Favorite Photos. My 2008 Thanksgiving family photo made the Group 1 cut. WOOT! If you like it too, please let Ree know by leaving a comment on the Group 1 Post. Thanks :) MK xo If you’ve enjoyed this post, Read more…
From my comfy spot on the sofa, I admired the light shining through golden leaves in the front yard. I decided I needed a photo … My boy was outside playing. Me: Sam, come and let me take your photo. Sam: OK, and then will you take a picture of Read more…
I’m always telling you about the younger kids, especially Georgia. I rarely blog about my oldest daughter Hayley. I think she probably likes it that way (tough luck kid!). It’s hard for me to believe I have a girl this old (she’s twenty-one), or this lovely (I’m allowed to say Read more…
Farm visit post #2: In addition to whispering to horses … and admiring the cows, we picked apples (or tried), and admired the sunflowers. Even though my macro lense wouldn’t auto-focus (damn!), I took flower photos. My Grandma has a green thumb! One of my favourites is echinacea, another is Read more…
I conveniently put aside all of the work piling up for me at home and spent the afternoon at my Grandma’s farm. It was a rainy, cold afternoon. Autumn has definitely arrived. Georgia loves to play with my Grandma’s Swedish horses and Grandma doesn’t mind. Then again, who gives a Read more…
My grandmother made the best blueberry cobbler on the planet. I am happy to tell you, it’s in the genes. Grandma made this recipe entirely on the stove-top in a cast-iron pot with a lid. I don’t have a similar pot, so I use the microwave (because I don’t have to watch and stir) and then the oven. Try it … you’ll love it!
I picked these cherries from my parents farm last weekend. They are a wee bit tart, so I knew they’d make great cobbler.
Ingredients
I always manage to leave something out of the ingredients photo. In this case the vanilla and butter are missing. It’s hard to be the cook, mom, photographer and food stylist all at the same time.
Would you love to experience a high alpine meadow, but just can’t quite see yourself climbing the 3000+ ft of mountain to get there?
Then the Sunshine Meadows shuttle is the Lay’s® Chip Trip for you ($21 value for 20pt = 2 large bags of chips). You catch the bus at the bottom of the Sunshine Village Ski Resort and it takes you up the main lodge area. From there, there are several hikes you can take.
There is still some uphill hiking, so you’ll get lots of exercise, but you are now in the alpine zone and the views are outstanding.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
