Time Flys!

Well as they say - time flies when your "having fun".  It also flies when you are moving house, having children, starting new business ventures...and I digress.

So where are we?  Well as I mentioned we have moved.  We are still in the beautiful Maritimes, but now live in a more rural area.  We have been here for about 3 1/2 years.  I absolutely love it, and dont regret to move to outside the city.  We live in an area known for Dairy production, so as you can imagine we have lots of cows & fields near by.  But we are also near lots of other houses, so don't feel to isolated.

D is in his last year of middle school, and getting quite involved with activities,.  They excited to be putting on a production of Shrek this year, and he is involved with the back stage crew.

L is working away, and now in the upper elementary.  He has made so many gains, I am proud of him & all his hard work.

Bre is in early elementary, and doing so well.  She is a bright little cookie, and learns fairly quickly which is causing her teachers to be kept on their toes, as we know those who catch on quick often need a little extra work to keep them out of mischief. ;)

That brings us to Ada.  Who???  Ada, she was born back in 2012...while this blog took a long break. She is a busy preciously little toddler/pre-schooler now.  She is a delight, and loves lots of cuddles.

A new business venture...?  Well sort of.  As you know I had started doing a lot of bread baking, and I was actually do a little bit of selling as well.  Well now that is more of a full/"part" time business.  We are excited to be at a large Farmers MArket every Saturday & Sunday.  We have met lots of new people, and our menu of breads has evolved a lot over the last 5 years.  We have notice seasonal trends ( and will continue to notice these I am sure).  We have been introduced to new ideas, and great customers with great questions.  Their is still "much to do" with the gluten-free diet that is popular, unfortunately I have not found a way to accommodate gluten-free baking which I am comfortable.  We can't make everything after all, and I like being able to be comfortable & confident in what I am making & selling.

Our latest adventure was a trip to France.  Kid free.  Grandma & Grandpa took on the task of taking care of the littles while me & my husband went of to explore & have adventures in France.  It was an amazing experience.  Meet some new friends, saw a few of the "famous" sites & got to see & taste a lot of bread & pastries, and bring some great ideas home. :)

Until next time.  Cheers!
