Kegan, Poppy and I were lucky enough to spend the week before Thanksgiving in the Laurentians. As you can see the colours, this time of year were stunning. We spent as much time as possible outdoors going for walks and bike rides or just exploring around the cottage. We ended the week off with a visit to our friend Anne’s sugar shack where we stocked up on enough maple syrup to last us the winter. After we packed up the syrup we were lucky enough to have Anne lead us on a beautiful hike around the lake. As much as I love summers at the cottage I must say I am absolutely in love with the beauty that autumn brings to the mountains.

Let me start by apologizing for my absence over here. It has been a crazy busy August. I think Poppy and I will be at home for a grand total of 5 days this month, the rest of which we will be gallivanting from cottage to cottage with a visit to Gampy’s at the end. Because of this my time in the kitchen and on my computer has become a rarity. That being said the rest of August will probably be a whole lot of Poppy posts with maybe a few recipes annnnnd I promise to be back with a ton of new healthy and delicious recipes in September! Here are a few from our time in the Laurentians. We had the most amazing time filled with the Lac des Iles annual regatta, Poppy’s first motor boat ride, a visit with Nan, lots of dancing in the wedding tent, dock time, some “fancy poses” and a beautiful wedding!

    And we’re home! What a crazy wonderful 10 days. A huge congratulations to Chase and Fran! Poppy couldn’t be happier to have her very own Aunt Frannie.

These are just a few pics from their beautiful cottage wedding. I didn’t want to get in the way with my camera and really wanted to enjoy the happy day rather than focusing on getting the perfect shots buuuuuut I couldn’t help but snap a few. Did I mention Poppy was the flower girl!!!!. I’m pretty sure she was the cutest flower girl in the history of flower girls…..I can say this because she’s mine  xo
