Let’s catch up!
If you’re new here, welcome!
If you’ve been following along for years… welcome back.
A lot has changed since Ketchup with Linda first began.
What started as a food blog has grown into recipes, family travel, children’s books, printable activities, and lots of creative projects inspired by my family. So… let’s catch up.
Hi, I’m Linda!
I started Ketchup with Linda to share simple recipes inspired by family traditions, travel, and everyday life. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown right alongside me.
These days, when I’m not cooking, you’ll probably find me creating children’s books, designing printable activities, building cardboard robots with my son, or turning ordinary moments into little adventures through Make Boring Creative.
I’ve never believed learning has to be boring. Whether we’re solving mysteries to learn how to read, exploring Japan through stories, or pretending to be astronauts in cardboard spaceships, my goal is always the same:
Make boring… creative.
This little corner is where I share the projects my son and I create together. From children’s books and printable activities to pretend play, travel adventures, and hands-on learning, everything starts with one simple idea:
Kids learn best when they’re having fun.
If we can make an ordinary day a little more creative, then we’ve accomplished exactly what we set out to do. Here you’ll find a little bit of everything we love:
