Travel: Banff National Park
Banff National Park is beautiful. It’s not very far from our house at just under 4 hours which makes for a nice half day drive. Here we are, heading down the driveway – all packed up in Scobby Doo the Boler (yes, he needs some work!). Banff National Park Okay – here’s the best part – we got a campsite right on the water. Yes! At Two Jack Lake they have a handful of sites that are lake side. Site 44, our site, is the…

Travel: Mountain UTVing Calgary
Mountain UTVing in Calgary What? Yes! I know it’s a bit odd, or perhaps out of character for us, yet this is what we did on Tuesday, September 4. For Bryce’s birthday I put together a little scavenger hunt and the end prize was a day of UTVing in Ghost (a public land use area outside of Calgary). First – it took me about 6 hours of research to find a place to rent a decent UTV, find an area where we could legally ride,…

Recipe: Gluten Free Rainbow Cookies
Gluten free rainbow cookies – and they’re chewy! They are good, like really good. Packed with these little rainbow chocolate candies which makes them pretty and gives them some texture.

I found the rainbow chocolate candies in the sprinkle aisle at Balk Barn – yet you can use any chocolate candy you wish. Okay, let’s get baking! Ingredients 2…

So, this post is for those who are looking for a bit of direction. Know that we’re total DIYers –…

Recipe: Healthy Pumpkin Brownies
Healthy pumpkin brownies? Yes please! Sugar? No thank you! A few weeks ago we had some family visit and I like to think I’m a pretty good host. Food is plentiful, treats are stocked and we have beautiful guest rooms that are welcoming and cozy. One thing, however, is that I don’t often eat a lot of treats. So when I do, I crash hard from the sugar. If I eat it for 3 days, I crash for about 6 hours. So with a week…
