Well it has been awhile since we last wrote, but many big and exciting things have happened in our life!!
All our munchkins are now in school, which is bitter sweet when you are a homeschooler at heart. With our business growing we needed the extra help with the children school provides. Our 3 young children also started hockey with their father Sheldon assistant coaching all of their teams. He is a REALLY busy guy!! Sheldon cares for the children while I am at the production house, and comes to work when we need a hand. He is building a rink in the backyard that will see us host our own backyard family hockey games!! I love outdoor winter parties!! It is wonderful having Sheldon home everyday with us, in the past he would have left for work in Alberta, but now that Sweet Pure Honey is thriving we are able to sustain our young family and farm, YAHOO! The kids need their father now more then ever! I feel good knowing each day they have one of us their to care for them.
This month will see us launch Sweet Pure Honey internationally on JP Selects http://www.jpselects.com/ and expose us to a whole new market of savy conscious buyers.

We wanted to touch base and let you know what is happening in Porcupine Plain, during the heat wave this week. The inside and outside crew at the ware house are hot!! It is crucial to drinking water constantly when the temperatures increase, they sweat out each drop they put into thier bodies. Oh I feel for them these days. The kids and I are heading out with fresh organic strawberries (they were on sale at the local COOP this week) and real ice fruit pops. The whole crew really appreciated the ice cold treats we brought yesterday, and it helps lift moral on an extremely excruciating day! We love you PAPA BEAR!!
Okay here is what is going here, this month is where the real fun begins. First all the honey jars are ordered and awaiting pick up 45 mins from here, 4 pallets of jars and lids to begin our honey packing. We finsished proofing all the new labels so those underway in Montreal. Fresh supplies of soap and essential orders just arrived from the US, to a production house filled with pails of fresh made lip & body balm, and Sweet Pure Honey cream. Our 3 chidlren are in swimming lessons this week, and enjoying a little loosened homework schedule. As I am a homeschooler at heart, I beleive it is crucial to keep childrens minds actively engaged in learning, even if they just read out loud for 20 min. a day, or write a journal entry. Oh and we are getting ready for a big buying show in August, The Alberta Gift Show in Edmonton. Just did an interview with the lovely green force Celine MacKay editor in chief at http://www.puregreenliving.com/, on top of a scheduled phone chat with the attractively lively Anna Griffin founder/editor of http://www.cocoecomag.com/.

Together with my love partner of 16 years, Sheldon Hill, we created 3 beautiful children, and Sweet Pure Honey. On a beautiful summer's day, while driving to the city to escape our reality of life in a small town, we came up with the concept for Sweet Pure Honey. Winding picturesque roads, lush green hillsides of northern Saskatchewan unfolding in front of us, we talked and dreamed about our families future. Sweet Pure Honey was born from our love, passion, drive and commitment to one another and our dedication to rearing our young family.
With help from many talented, creative, and inspiring individuals, we developed what is Sweet Pure Honey today. The truth is, it is evolving everyday, and so is our family. We are going to write about our daily lives as we live it. Both Sheldon and I work and are actively involved in our young children’s lives, we devote the biggest portion of our time to them, guiding, growing them, feeding them nutrtiously, coaching their teams, and as such time is limited. This blog, is meant to keep you updated as our business and lives move forward. Sheldon and I will rotate blog posts each week and bring you writing and pictures from our life, with the bees, producing Sweet Pure Honey products, and trying to balance a passion for work and family.
