Simply Fresh: October 2013
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 9, 2013. Someone told me or I read somewhere, probably one of those annoying quotes from a sanctimonious mother, that when you have kids time goes by faster. Regardless of where it came from, I am starting to believe it. I don't know if it's because I returned to a mismatch of a teaching load, or that I signed up to be on our local teacher associations executive or that I re committed to girl guides. Either way I feel swamped. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Simply Fresh: May 2013
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Bring on the sun. We have had beautiful weather here. I actually wish summer was like this, it's hot but a nice cool breeze and no bugs! It's projects projects projects around here. Davide is repairing the back garage, mom and dad are planting the garden and helping me clean up the yard. Mateo loves being outside and follows me around, helping when needed. Even though the days are getting longer they seem to being going by faster. May is already coming to an end. And we a...Actua...

Simply Fresh: All In The Family
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2015/08/all-in-family.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. All In The Family. This will be my third post about berry picking and I am not even ashamed! When I was a kid I loved and hated berry picking. I loved the berries but hated the work. But I still did it. Probably because my parents made me. That got me thinking about where my love for wild berries came from. The easy answer would be through experiences; picking then baking with my parents. But where did their love come from? Well the likely source was their parents! Now a criti...

Simply Fresh: July 2015
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. This morning I whipped up a batch of raspberry jam. I did it with Micah next to me playing with pots and pans, while Mateo entertained himself. Davide came home at lunch. I said you know we make a good team, I think we could be homesteaders. He laughed and said no thanks! But I was more complimenting him. He has been busy renovating our basement. His project last night was laying flooring in the bathroom. Tonight he will install the new vanity and sink. Monday, July 27, 2015.

Simply Fresh: July 2013
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. The house is empty. It's been a hustle and bustle the past week. My sister and her family were visiting. Mom and Dad were in from the lake and my brother made his appearances. But now there is silence (thank god for breast feeding). I remember as a child always being sad when company left, whether it was cousins from out of town or a friend from a sleep over. There was so much excitement then nothing, everyone scattered to their rooms or a spot on the couch and just vegged out.

Simply Fresh: December 2015
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 7, 2015. It's my favourite time of the year - Christmas! I love everything about the season. I have found that over the last few years more and more people find it too busy and stressful. I can understand that, but for me it's a time for family and food. This past weekend we got our Christmas Tree. Christmas has become more exciting now that Mateo understands. His excitement makes it all feel so nostalgic. It was 6. I don't ever remember a December this warm. These boys are my world!

Simply Fresh: April 2013
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 28, 2013. Oh how things change when you add busy bodies to the mix and the 24 hr flu. I learned a lesson this week that, planning parties are not as easy as they once were. And the I should probably start planning Mateo's birthday now! I am embarrassed to admit that we actually dressed Mateo and Charlie and their Peter Rabbit outfits from Gap's Beatrix Potter collection the next day because we didn't even take a picture of the party girl! Friday, April 5, 2013. There was a point between foo...

Simply Fresh: York Slings of Hope
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2015/09/york-slings-of-hope.html
Monday, September 21, 2015. York Slings of Hope. A couple weeks ago the world was shocked with horrific images of a 3 year olds lifeless body on the shores of Turkey. There is a refugee crisis occuring in Europe, families are fleeing war torn Syria. I knew this was happening but like most news stories I just disconnected. But the image of this lifeless little boy stuck with me and my heartached. I also participated in a project a friend's baby wearing group in York was spearheading. Basically they ar...

Simply Fresh: March 2013
http://beingjayne.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. Easter has come early this year. Honestly I don't know why Easter changes every year, sometimes it's in March and sometimes it's in April. Needless to say with this late Winter and early Easter it doesn't feel like chicks should be hatching or bunnies should be hopping. Mateo watch out your turn is coming! Anyway, traditions I will start this year are an Easter basket of treats, a meal and a nice Spring walk. What do you buy an 8 month old? Thursday, March 28, 2013. This is a frie...

Wednesday, September 23, 2015. Our pumpkins may not be prized pumpkins but we grew them so they are to us! A little Fall adventure. Our region has so much beauty. I love Fall family photos. Especially when grandparents join! From seeds to salsa. It feels like full circle. I feel like seasons are so sneaky! Tuesday, September 22, 2015. Lammas - The First Harvest.
