Growing up, my mom made these puffed wheat squares

Growing up, my mom made these puffed wheat squares every 1st of July for Canada Day. This year I tried out a new recipe with a special ingredient, Rogers’ Syrup, that my Aunt always sends me when I’m running low... and it was amazing!!! ⠀
To be honest, every puffed wheat square recipe I’ve made has been amazing, so I say if you’ve never tried puffed wheat squares, it’s time you try one. ⠀
The recipe from @justsotasty is delicious too and doesn’t require that special Canadian ingredient 😉

My first job ever was at a Cafe! It was my favorit

My first job ever was at a Cafe! It was my favorite job and probably to this day, still competes for #1. I loved making all of the yummy food: sandwiches, ice cream, coffee’s, desserts and smoothies! Everything was delicious! Today, we re-organized my kids rooms for the third time in the last 3 months and I think we finally got it right! 🙌 So, we decided to celebrate with a nice cold smoothie from my Cafe days after all of our hard work! We hope you like it!!

I found my new favorite plant yesterday! It is now

I found my new favorite plant yesterday! It is now sitting on my counter and makes me happy every time I see it! It is a Calathea Ornata. Also known as a Calathea Pinstripe because it has PINK pinstripes on it! It is in the Family of Prayer Plants. I love that aspect too because I feel like I can always use the reminder that prayer is real and can be a powerful influence in our lives. If you have a bathroom with a window, this plant would love that space. It does well with humidity and indirect sunlight. The pink pinstripes get me every time!! Happy Sunday Friends!

Let’s talk breakfast for a minute. ⠀
⠀
Most days I’m running out the door to get to the gym and just grab a little something because I cannot workout with a full stomach. So when I get home, that’s when I finally get my first full meal of the day. ⠀
⠀
@cleansimpleeats always has the BEST breakfast ideas and I have never been disappointed. This açaí bowl is absolutely delicious and I could easily eat it everyday! ⠀
⠀
Do you eat breakfast? Is it a something you grab to eat on the go or do you sit and enjoy a big tasty breakfast?

Happy 4th of July! ⠀ ⠀ We are grateful for the

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 ⠀
⠀
Holidays are always a great day to indulge in treats, am I right?! But never forget that some tasty fruit, like this watermelon, can also be a treat. Slice your watermelon and then use a cookie cutter to get the shape you want. Stick in a popsicle stick and your treat is ready!

“Home is where our story begins.” I shared in

“Home is where our story begins.” I shared in a past post about my bookshelves that we love decorating with pieces that mean something to me. It may remind me of an experience, a person, or a place. It makes me happy to see little treasures that can turn into story-telling with my kids. Stories link us together and bind generations. These are a couple of shelves in my kitchen. I was just gifted the cow milk dish and the pretty hummingbird painting from Grandmother Gowdy. Both remind me of multiple people and stories. I love that they are now pieces in my kitchen. I believe the kitchen is the heart of the home, where people eat good food, sit, chat and dance! Memories upon memories made!!
