always an adventure

Welcome! I’m Kim. Stay at home mom to four beautiful children, all under the age of 8, including a set of twins. I’m a wife, cook, canner, gardener, camper and chicken mom among other things. We are a family of six, living near cottage country in beautiful Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada. During the summer months, our family enjoys planting a garden, buying local produce and preserving our favourite summer foods, as well as swimming in our pool and going camping. We enjoy the slower pace and strive to enjoy it by making things easier on our tomorrow selves, by being productive today. Through batch cooking, finding sales and meal prepping, preserving fruits and vegetables while in season, thrift store clothing exchanging, mom to mom sales and much more.

Raising four kids has its challenges. And supporting a family one one income can be stressful, especially in these uncertain times.  When we found out we were having twins, our lives drastically changed  and when they finally arrived, we had 3 children under 14 months old! This kind of stress could only be managed by being organized, prepared and creative day to day, whether it was meal planning and grocery shopping to cooking and cleaning or how we scheduled the day. Oh and coffee..lots and lots of coffee!
