It has been way too long since my girlfriend Holly and I have got to have a cocktail-making hangout. For some reason, creating and photographing drinks is so much more fun when you do it with a friend–which is why we refused to let another holiday pass without concocting something fun, a Red Hallowine Sangria. …
On my recent trip to Calgary with my friend Holly and our kids, we were lucky enough to get to experience a luxury boho style picnic in Bowness Park. This was no ordinary picnic. It was luxe, over-the-top and visually stunning. The set up, decor and takedown were all done by Bubbles & Brews Canada, …
Getting out of town, even if it’s just a short distance away is always so fun. This summer, my girlfriend Holly and I decided to brave heading to Calgary with four kids in tow and no husbands to help. While there were a few moments of stress, overall it was such a fun trip, I’m …
Regardless of the size, every backyard has the potential to be transformed into a space you’ll love. Since having kids getting out for date nights and girl’s nights has been a lot harder.

This past year I have missed restaurant food. There’s certain dishes, that for some reason intimidate me to attempt at home. A poke bowl is one of those dishes, which is crazy, because now that I’ve made it, it’s so, so easy! The key is making sure that your get good quality, sushi-grade tuna. I …
Did you know that you can visit free-roaming sheep just outside of Edmonton in the City of Fort Saskatchewan? It is such a fun, easy daytrip to make with your kids. The sheep of Fort Saskatchewan have been keeping the grass trim in City parks for almost three decades. The city uses the flock as …
I’ve never met a brunch I didn’t like. I can assure you that brunch is the way to this girl’s heart! Did you know that you can get brunch boxes at the U of A Botanic Gardens? It’s seriously the best! I love visiting the gardens in the summer. There’s so much space that it’s …
I’ve been obsessed with pampas grass for the last couple of years. It’s the perfect neutral, low maintenance, boho décor for your home. I’m so jealous of people who have it growing wild in their fields, who can just go pick it themselves. Since we can’t do that here in Edmonton, I was able to …
