Hi! I’m Keri — wife of 25+ years, mom of two grown kids, empty nester, Alberta acreage dweller, Dr Pepper enthusiast, children’s author, gluten-free baker, gardener, traveller, and serial “I wonder if I could do that myself?” person. 😜

Around here, you’ll find real life — gardening & preserving, gluten-free cooking, fixer-upper acreage projects, camping & ATVing, Alberta adventures, travel, and whatever Trevor and I tackle next. Things don’t always go according to plan, and I’m usually learning as I go — but that’s half the fun!

I also share my experiences with Hashimoto’s, eclampsia, a bicuspid aortic valve/Ross Procedure, seizures & rheumatoid arthritis in hopes that someone else feels a little less alone.

Life doesn’t get less interesting as you get older. You get to decide what the next chapter looks like.

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”

💙 Living Life with Purpose.
