Hey! It’s a canning season here! Are you ready for a delicious raspberry-blueberry jam? Both my hubby and I grew up in the families where summers were very busy canning and prepping for winter. And our families were in no way unique doing that. Whoever I knew back then, was making homemade food, homemade, jams,…
I cannot believe the summer is almost over! I feel like we haven’t done so much yet! We want to travel more, to garden more, and just simply extend those beautiful sunny and hot days for longer! Are you with me and agree that time is flying too fast? So, it is back to school in a…
Hello, my busy friend! Do you feel like sometimes you are trying to do a million things at the same time and don’t get much done anyway? Sometimes I feel like a Wonder-Woman who is able to change the world for the better in no time, and sometimes it feels more like a hamster in a…
After a cruel winter we had this year, the weather gods seem to be kinder to us now. We have been enjoying the beautiful hot days, with just a bit of rain at this corner of the world. Though we are pretty novice gardeners, almost everything seems to be growing very well this year, and…

Happy Canada Day! We have been so blessed/lucky and happy to live in one of the best countries in the world for eight years now. Two years ago, after going through language and Canadian history tests, and an exhilarating Citizenship ceremony we have officially become proud Canadians! It has been a long way, and sometimes…
Hello Hello! Today I am sharing with you one of my favourite dishes (after borscht of course :))! This is a perfect dish for any time of the year, as it has a great flexibility in terms of what vegetables are in season and your personal choice. The original recipe has meat in it (usually lamb or beef), but we will…
It finally feels like summer here! Woo-hoo! We have been enjoying the nice and hot days with a few breaks for some rain here and working in our garden a lot! Check out our Shed to Greenhouse conversion Part 1 post here if you missed it. We have now built raised beds inside the greenhouse as our next step…
Hello my dear! It might look like working on our Master bedroom renovations we had neglected our garden. Well, not really! We have been so busy working on a few projects in our house, and I now super excited to share one of them with you! It is our backyard shed to greenhouse conversion! THIS POST…
