There are so many ways to say I love you on Valentine’s Day. My favourite would have to be through good food and good drinks. Food and booze are my love language haha. So, with that in mind there was no way Holly (@chandeliers.and.champagne) and I could let a holiday like Valentine’s Day go by …
As a busy mom, finding time to eat healthy can sometimes be a challenge. If things are crazy (and let’s face it, with a one and three year old at home, it usually is) I tend to reach for the easiest thing to eat–bagel, store-bought muffin, chips or other junky items. That’s why I like …
Hallelujah you guys, I’m emerging from hibernation after a crazy long cold snap here in Edmonton. The past two weeks have been so cold. I’m talking windchills of -50C cold. I basically stocked up on food and wine and hung out at home for a week, which means I’m now stir crazy and my kids …
I’ve officially hit the age where the fashion cycle is repeating itself. While some trends like bell bottoms, acid wash jeans and butterfly clips are better left in the past, the resurgence of some familiar 90’s styles makes me excited to try my hand at updating the look and incorporating it into my everyday style. …
There’s less than a week till Christmas now, and if you’re anything like me, your to do list is about as long as Santa’s delivery list. One thing I’m in charge of this year is the Christmas cocktail, and I think we’ve got a winner! This Pomegranate Moscow Mule is as delicious as it is …
Well, it’s official, the snow is sticking to the ground. Pumpkin spice has morphed into peppermint and egg nog, and the nights are now long and dark. Winter is here for the long haul which means it’s time for soup season! There’s something so comforting about a hot bowl of soup or stew on a …
Writing this post is bittersweet for me. I’ve officially completely weaned Austin off of breastfeeding at 19 months old. The time was right for me; I’ve been pregnant and/or breastfeeding since 2015 with no break. That’s about 4.5 years now that my body hasn’t been my own. So, while I’m happy to be able to …
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldrons bubble. While I’m no sorceress, I would like to consider myself an amateur mixologist. Mixing up cocktails and experimenting with flavours is so much fun. Sometimes it works out great, other times not so much (let’s just say Holly and I will never be adding cognac …
Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my fellow Canadians. For all my American friends, I’ll be jealous of your turkey dinners next month 😉. Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays. Food is my love language and there’s nothing better than a great meal with friends and family. Give me all the turkey sandwiches, pumpkin pie …
I’ve been hearing the dreaded f-word popping up more and more lately…fall. Our mornings are starting to get crisp, the leaves are turning yellow and Starbucks released their Pumpkin Spiced Latte. I flat out refuse to drink a fall drink in August though, call it a principle thing. Instead I’ve decided to honour the dog …
