Cherry Almond Coffee Cake:  I lovely not too sweet cake, with cherries, almond, and streusel topping.  Made with sour cream to keep it lovely and moist.

This is the time of year, when there is nothing nicer than a little time to sit and enjoy the garden with a cup of tea or coffee and a lovely slice of cake.  It’s also the time of year when you’re more likely to spend all your time in the garden weeding, planting, mulching, and digging.

I certainly have lots to do in my garden.  But even  though it’s not all done, even though there are weeds and things looking a little more wild than perfect, it’s still worth some of my time to sit back and enjoy it.

So yesterday afternoon, Maddie and I set up a little spot to enjoy an afternoon snack together, this lovely Cherry Almond Coffee Cake.  It’s made with sour cream, which makes it lovely and moist.  I love baking with Gay Lea’s Gold Premium Sour Cream, it’s so silky and decadent and adds a real richness to any baking.

This really is the perfect little break in your day, whether enjoyed in the garden or not.  The cake is not too sweet with lovely plump tart cherries, almond, and the sweet crunch of the streusel topping.  Yum.

    You used two of my favourite foods. I love their taste and when combined this cake looks so tasty! I love almonds and cherries! I am also impressed with how far your garden has come along. It looks so lovely!

    Oh thanks Thea, we had some really not weather here in Ontario, and it really brought things on quickly in the garden. And, I hope you try the cake, it’s not too sweet, and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
    Best, Dannyelle

Instagram post 2191863524343348609_202589158 I had fun adding some pink to my Christmas decor for my “Merry and Bright” Party. This spot looked so great it inspired me to use some more colour in the basement this year. Can’t wait to share. 🎄🎅🏻 This printable artwork is available in our Etsy shop as a digital download.

Instagram post 2189708657151563933_202589158 It’s the first day of December and I’m already all about that warm candle lit glow. Here’s to many many evenings spent around twinkle lights, warm fires, and candle lit dinner tables. 🕯
Instagram post 2188219954386272747_202589158 It’s almost time for advent calendars. When my kids were younger it was a way for me as a busy mom during the holidays to be purposeful about spending quality time with my girls. I didn’t want my kids to grow up thinking Christmas was just about presents. I wanted to be purposeful about making special Christmas memories with my kids. I’ve created over 60 different activity cards in three different designs. They’re for sale in our Etsy shop. Head to Etsy and search “lifeisapartyshop”. Everything is 50% off now until Monday-enjoy the memory making. ;) 🎅🏻🎄
