Calm and Foliage | Linden & Lavender

Back from Holiday

October 11, 2017

Hello, dear readers! I just returned from a family holiday. This year we wanted to take advantage of the fall foliage in Vermont and then visit the ocean in Maine. Lots of outdoorsy activities.  I'll likely write about this adventure in the near future. More posts coming your way soon!

Warm regards,
Shauna

Happy Sunday! S’mores- a Canadian summer staple. For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to spend an evening around a campfire to make them have no fear. You can make a more indulgent version at home (hello peanut butter)! Recipe in my blog archives. Happy Sunday everyone!
And just like that, I have a 7 year-old! This is a classic birthday cake with yellow and chocolate layers and chocolate frosting. And of course, sprinkles from @sweetapolita !
Just hand over all of the berries, please! #summercake
S’mores are all part of a magical summer. If you didn’t get your fill this past weekend or haven’t been around a fire pit to make your own, plan to make this Peanut Butter S’mores recipe for your next getaway or get together. Recipe in blog archives.
Garlic season! Drying out the fresh garlic from @rootradicalcsa and loving the purples on these ones. #natureisart
The plus side of having a very late strawberry season is that we still have fresh berries at our farmers market. On Saturday morning, we picked up a quart for the walk home. They were finished by the time we arrived with one sweet little 2-year looking a bit like a vampire. • • • • • #inspiremyinstagram #fbcigers #womenwhocook #cupcakes #naturallight #thebakefeed #bakefromscratch #aseasonaltable #reclaimhappy #bakinglove #thehappynow #eatprettythings #tastingtable #foodblogeats#instabake #darlingdaily #simplethingsmadebeautiful #bakersofinstagram #homebaking #baker#foodblogger #foodphotography #foodpics #eattheworld #moodygrams #celebrateeveryday #littlestoriesofmylife #lindenandlavender #strawberryseason#eatlocal
Just in time for the second crop of rhubarb. Stewed rhubarb recipe plus the usual quote (this one is about motherhood) on the blog. Happy Friday!
This small bowl of raspberries that I picked up from the farmers market was gobbled up by my children before I was able to bake anything. I think that is a better use of fresh produce anyway. I did however manage to snap this photo so win-win for everyone! #eatlocal
Cottage life means trading routines in favor of time with the family and outdoors. Swimming instead of errands. Collecting shells instead of folding laundry. Picking wildflowers instead of weeding my garden. Cooking outside over a fire instead of and oven. It takes some time to adjust to a slower pace of life- several days for me to feel free to sit, observe, daydream. • The only thing I kept on doing was my 15 minute workouts through @momma_strong . Recovering after my 4th child has been frustrating and slow. In all of the challenges of motherhood I have found that I can almost always set aside 15 free minutes to get active. This makes me feel better and I know it makes me a better mother. I’m grateful to have had that opportunity to just be with my family and to nourish my mind and body.
This morning I awoke to discover that the almost suffocating humidity had lifted overnight. So all the windows are open now to let in the fresh air and the sound of bird songs. While my kids polished off Saturday’s leftover donuts for breakfast, I ate the last serving of stewed rhubarb along with hemp hearts, yogurt, granola and locally picked strawberries. Since I am back to drinking coffee on the weekends I shared a Chemex with my husband. To slow mornings followed by watching the Women’s World Cup with my daughter! Who’s watching?
