How was your weekend? Ours was relaxing and mellow, just what the doctor ordered. I was so tired come Friday that our plan to hang out with friends ground to a halt when I accidentally fell asleep on the couch at 7pm. I woke up around 4:30am on Saturday; as I do every weekend, but…
Kevin and I were downtown this week dropping his Harley off at the stop and decided to treat ourselves for lunch before we went back to the office. We were in the Bridgeland area, the hub of some of our favorite restaurants like Sushi Bar Zipang, Tazza, and Main Dish. It’s tough to make a…
I’ve never been able to handle stimulants very well. Caffeine, sugar, tobacco, even too much cacao can send me over the moon!

I wore dresses, she despised them. When my Mom would bring home treats from the grocery store; like a carrot cake,…
Thank you for your support and positivity on Friday. You’re such a great bunch ;) I’m so pumped to start this next chapter in my life and share my experiences with all of you. Knowing that there’s only 100 days between me and the first day of the rest of my life is so exciting….
We’ve been experiencing dreadfully cold mornings with rain, snow and lots of wind. Chilly mornings don’t exactly put me in the mood for a cold smoothie for breakfast, but they’re guaranteed to bring on a craving for a bowl of warm and nourishing porridge! I could have gone for the obvious oat-based porridge, but I…
