NEW Activity Book for Kids!

 

 

Hi friends, 

 

I'm very excited to share that I've got a new book out - and it's a break from my usual! It's a space-themed children's activity book that I put together mostly at my son's request. He is a space fanatic, and has been wanting something with more puzzles, math activities, and word searches along with coloring pages. I started making activities for him, and eventually it came together as this book for kids aged 4-8 years old that I'm really pleased with!

 

New Etsy Shop!

 

While the blog has been quiet lately, I've had a lot going on behind the scenes. I've been teaching gardening workshops and working on a new project... activity books and printables! More on the activity book soon, but for now I'm dropping the link for my new Etsy shop. 

Why L.D. Maplewood? Well....

Easy, Gluten Free Easter Bunny Cake (with Vegan Option)

 

 

Hello hello, friends! We are finally getting some sunshine here in the Pacific Northwest, just in time for Easter weekend. 

Perfect timing, also, to share a quick post on a really easy Gluten Free Easter bunny cake, with a vegan option. 

 I made this cake last weekend for a group of boys aged 2.5-6 and I wish I'd gotten a pic of how big their eyes got when I brought this cake out! They were super excited, and of course everyone had an opinion on which part of the bunny they wanted to eat 😄

Gluten Free Easter Treats and Baked Goods

I'm reposting this roundup from 2018 as spring is just over a month away, and I thought some of you might like to get a jump on baking! 

 

Easter is just around the corner, and I'm sharing a roundup of some of my favourite gluten free Easter treat recipes from the blog.

Some of these are traditional Easter foods, like my Gluten Free German Easter bread (a.k.a. Osterkranz), Gluten Free Hot Cross Buns, and Gluten Free Apple Dumplings, while others, like my lavender sugar cookies and vegan, GF parsnip cake, are a little less conventional but just as tasty!

I've also included one of my go-to Spring decoration tutorials that is incredibly cheap and easy (hint, it's a way to use up old tin cans, too).
