I don’t know how it happened, but somehow I have a six-year-old. I know that everyone says it, but the year’s sure do go by fast. Colton just celebrated his birthday last week and it was the first time since the pandemic we’ve been able to throw him a party, and the first time we’ve …
Lift your spirits with this fangtastic, Creepy Lychee Martini. I’m a sucker for a theme, so I couldn’t let Halloween pass without crafting the perfect Halloween martini. My bestie Holly and I love a lychee martini. Ever since I tried it a couple of years ago I’ve been wanted to come up with the perfect …
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 …
The past couple of weeks I’ve been hard at work thinking up and researching fall and winter cocktail recipes. Summer cocktails come so easily to me, but I find cocktails in the cooler months need to be a bit more complex. Maybe I’m just overthinking it, maybe not. I’ve made it my goal to start …
While technically speaking it’s still summer, September always feels like fall to me. It also serves as reset. Back to routine, back to meal planning & prepping and back to eating healthy (you don’t want to know how much ice cream we ate this summer). I’ve always found the easiest way to make healthy eating …
If I think Spring thoughts, and drink Spring drinks, will that magically make Spring appear in Edmonton? Probably not, but this cocktail is so good I don’t even care that it snowed this weekend…again. I’ve been wanting to make a honey-based cocktail for awhile now, so I was excited to partner up with the Edmonton …
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 …
