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.

We are Celebrating 6 years on YouTube!
It's been quite the learning curve, over these past few years.
I'll admit that cringe when I watch some of my older videos, but I can see my personal improvement and what I've learned and accomplished.
This year I will turn 49 years old!
You are never to old to try something new!

I had the incredible opportunity to be a guest on the Invisible Strength podcast! ✨
I’m so grateful to have shared my story and been part of a conversation that truly matters. This podcast dives into real-life experiences, resilience, and what it means to keep going—even when things aren’t visible on the outside. 💜
The Invisible Strength podcast, created through Invigorate Your Journey, is all about supporting people navigating chronic illness and life’s tougher seasons—with honesty, hope, and practical tools for moving forward.
This conversation meant a lot to me, and I hope it resonates with you too. If you’ve ever had to dig deep, pivot, or find strength you didn’t know you had… this one’s for you.
🎧 Give it a listen here: https://youtu.be/3mZPdQRgjbE?si=HtI6s...
If it speaks to you, I’d love to hear your thoughts 💬

What have I accomplished in a week?
One room done, a few more to go! (Okay, maybe it’s not that bad, this is the only room I took a before pic of) #downsizing #emptynesters

A big thank you to my kids and Trevor for my Mothers Day gift! 4 Beautiful stain colours to update these Adirondack chairs. (Took me a few days to prep and stain them, but now they are done!)
I fell in love with the Atlantic Coast style of bright bold mismatched Adirondack chairs, when we visited Atlantic Canada in 2021.
Even the colour names sound beautiful from left to right:

Just got back from an awesome 5 day vacation, and this DOLE Whip treat is always a must (wherever I can find it being served!) Check out the upcoming Shorts that reveal where this Canadian went last week for some much needed sunshine, Vit D, and warmth.

Spent a few days with my parents, and Mom sent me home with some of her canning!
Sweet pickled beets, Zucchini relish and Pear marmalade! Should I should create videos about how to make these preserves? Or is it a lost art form?

Today, my YouTube channel has reached 10,000 subscribers!!!
What started as a little hobby to share cooking videos while my business was shut down during Covid, has become a joy and avenue to express myself and share many of my pastimes and adventures.
Thank you to all who have subscribed, liked or watched a video. It is humbling to know that 10,000 people have enjoyed the content I shared. If you haven’t subscribed yet, I invite you to check it out.
When I first started, part of my goal was for my kids to have a resource to turn to for favourite recipes. It was comforting to tell them to start supper, look it up on YouTube and follow along.
Thanks for the support on this journey, and I am excited to see where the next 10,000 takes us together.
