Messy Little Cook

Test

Hi, I'm Courtenay. I truly am the 'Messy Little Cook' - there's sure to be a mountain of dirty dishes and flour all over the place whenever I'm playing in the kitchen. I also love writing about restaurants, other foodie stuff and travel (when I get the chance).

Looking for something?

Ok, so "let's take a picture for Great-Gran on her new quilt" didn't go exactly as I had imagined... Anyhow, this quilt is special because this fabric, and my family, comes from Enschede #nethetlands #quilting #getquilty #heritage

Crispy corn waffles, a splash of maple syrup, sausage and 🥑 #whatsfordinner #dontknockittillyoutryit #lazycooking #avocadooneverything Also, the kids loved it! #yegmoms

Homemade cinnamon buns and coffee, perfect for a rainy day

We have to wake this guy up from his nap almost every day...and he's usually not happy about it #snoozy #naptime #ilovemybed #drake #letterboard #mayowskifamily

Picnic at Queen Elizabeth pool today - long weekend perfection #augustlong #yeg #mayowskifamily

The twins first time at "The Big Show". Watching their little faces and listening to them giggle was hilarious, plus I think all of the kids ate their weight in candy and popcorn 🍿#thebigshow #familytime #mayowskifamily

Date night with my Mama last night. (I still need one-on-one time with my mom too) We had fun seeing Mama-Mia at the VIP theater 📽️🍷👯 #momdate #lovemymama #mayowskifamily

When you're 1 of 3 kids it can be hard to get special one-on-one time with Mom or Dad. Yesterday was the first time the kids split three ways and each got to have a day on their own. Hannah was with Nana, Nate wanted to go with Papa and Charlie spent the day with me. We had fun at Starbucks & Chapters, then met up with Trev for lunch. I'm not sure how I'm going to do it, but it's my goal to carve out more 1:1 time with each of the kids every week #mommyandme #momlife #familyoffive #twinmom #mayowskifamily

A bit late, but I had to share these pics from the Vermilion Fair last weekend #familytraditions #summerlove #mayowskifamily

Purple pants totally make you a faster runner, right? It's been six months since I got started with @otfriverbend This was my first step back into a regular fitness activity since before Hannah was born. I'm feeling stronger and I think, for the first time in my life, I *might* actually like running #dontstopgetitgetit

🐼❤️ Absolutely loved seeing the Pandas at the zoo this morning

All the cool kids love Village Ice Cream #yyceats #mayowskifamily

We pretty much got to explore Lake Minnewanka on our own this morning. There are some benefits to having kids who wake at the crack of dawn! #selfieforfive #exploreab #parkscanada #banff Also, Nate is now obsessed with petting a chipmunk #naturekid #mayowskifamily
