The Story Of Us

Last weekend we in the US celebrated Memorial Day and therefore had a long weekend. Since we experienced no snow this winter and didn't use any of our snow days we got an extra day off. And we were all really looking forward to the break. Initially we had plans to go to Cape Cod but the weather seemed all over the place. We didn't want to drive all the way up there just to be stuck in cold rainy weather so we canceled and had ourselves a little staycation.  Friday morning we all went our own ways for some breakfast. D and I met up with another mom friend and her son while M and H had some father son time.  We reunited at home and did some of our own things In the afternoon we headed out for some strawberry picking! We had gone the year before last and had really enjoyed ourselves but did not get the chance last year. The next few days were spent eating and making treats with the strawberries. Last time we had over picked and I was a bit overwhelmed with all the strawberries.....

Happy Memorial Day to my US friends. This long weekend was a complete wash out... it rained all day, every day. The kids had an extra snow day so the school gave them Friday off as well. There were a couple of rain free hours on Friday morning so we squeezed in a quick strawberry picking trip at a local farm. This was our first time strawberry picking. We unintentionally ended up with 8lbs of strawberries. So now began the task of how to use all these strawberries. I made pancakes and milkshakes I also made ice cream and pureed a bunch and froze them as ice cubes to be used in futures juices, I love a good strawberry lemonade. And now we have just a bowl full left to eat. They were absolutely delectable.                        Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin
