Honey Muffins



My kids love it
when I bake something
for their breakfast
so a fast and easy
recipe to whip up
like these Honey Muffins
were a must do for me

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ¼ cups Butter, Melted
  • ¼ cups Honey
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, butter, and honey. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake at 400ºF for 15-18 minutes.

My kids loved these
and loved the ease of
throwing them together

Give them a try
I plan to add Carob
when I make them next

Turning 4 on the 4th


My little man
is a fireworks baby
he was born on the 4th of July
we do live in Canada
but with a sister in the USA
they were very excited about the date

Like most years
we were camping
for his birthday
I don't do parties yet
we keep it low key

He had a great time
each time we go camping
he asks if we can bring our animals
and stay there to live

We gave him a tool box
he has really enjoyed it
and enjoys fixing anything
that he deems needs fixing

Happy 4th Birthday
to my little man

Summa Time


It's a busy Summer
we have been camping
and hanging out at home

Our first camping trip
was 10 days
with my folks
and some of my family
we stayed fairly local

I was super excited
to see these amazing
metal sculptures



designed and made
by a local artist
Kevin Stone
Metal Animation

he has a few on his yard
people are welcome
to come and see them

Kevin was home
the day we visited
such a nice guy
and wonderful to talk with
he also restores
vintage vehicles

it was a great place
and amazing work
if you are local
check it out

I'll post more
on our camping trip
or trips I should say
we leave tomorrow for another
short trip
