J’s Mom took us out for tea in Mars, PA at the Johnston House. I’ve always wanted to go for tea and it was so much fun! I wish we could do it all the time. The front of the house has a beautifully manicured lawn and pretty flowers and shrubs everywhere you look. (more…)
There he was. We rounded the corner at the Washington Cemetery and this buck was standing there with a doe. We rolled our windows down and enticed him with chopped apples. Organic ones, because deer need to eat pesticide free too.

J’s niece had a Snow White Princess Party that was too cool. She had all her friends come over dressed up as princesses. Boys were allowed to come too! (more…)
There’s a Farmers’ market in Washington, close by J’s house, that we like to shop at sometimes. It’s not a huge market, but there’s still plenty of different produce you can get. (more…)
We made a pit stop to Sarris Chocolate and surprised J’s mom and dad with milk chocolate hard cap sundaes. These babies are supposed to be amazing. (more…)
We made a trip out to the Washington County Fair and it was so much fun. I had a blast. Here’s the re-entry stamp to the fair. It’s a different color each day. They knew I was coming so they brought out the red ink for me. (more…)
It’s that time of year and the Washington County Fair is in full swing again. We decided to go for a few hours last night to see the school bus demolition derby, needless to say this is something you don’t witness every day… (more…)
Breakfast was tasty this morning. We found a gluten free hot cereal made with rice flour, cornmeal, and buckwheat flour, so we decided to give it a try. We topped the cereal with soft boiled eggs plus had home fries, fresh fruit, and hot cocoa to make a full and hearty meal. (more…)
It’s been awhile since we’ve updated the blog. We had to leave Grenada early so there were loose ends here and there we needed to handle and take care of. There’s been a family emergency and we needed to be back in PA. This time, we were only stuck at the Miami International Airport for 3 hours instead of 7. I thought the art display was rather neat and thought you guys would like it too.
We missed J’s Mom’s birthday by a few days, but to make up for it, we’re going to bake a week’s worth of mango desserts for her. She loves mangoes!
I made a mango and cherry almond cake that was gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free. It was crunchy on the outside, moist inside, and the fruit gave it just the right amount of sweetness. Yum!
Cherries had to be halved and pitted.
The pan was lined with fresh mangoes and cherries.
Extra fruit was placed on the bottom of the cake and was baked for 25-30 minutes to golden brown.
Here’s the finished product. For a first time bake I think it went very well. There weren’t any leftovers so I think the cake was a hit.
