When the weather turns nice, there are few places I’d rather be than the North Shore. There is just so much nature to be taken in – crystal waters and boulders, massive pines and bald eagles – and Lynn Canyon, where Stella and I, along with family and some friends, spent the better part of…

BFF Day
I was lucky enough to spend this beautiful Cinco de Mayo in Deep Cove with my best friend, Malorie. We enjoyed a couple doughnuts from Honey’s – maple for me, chocolate for her – which for reasons beyond me, remain a bit of local secret. They really are a little bit of heaven, especially combined…
May Day
Happy May Day! I’m not sure what the first day of May was like in your corner of the world, but in mine and Stella’s, it was the perfect day for a walk around the neighborhood.
Two Weeks ’til the Farmers Market
On Wednesday, I took a Health Day because my brain, quite simply, needed a break from life. My mom, Stella, and I spent the morning at Trout Lake, where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the sun was shining brightly, and puppies of all sizes were out to play. It was clearly too beautiful…
Simply Saturday
I always look forward to Saturdays. Not just because I can be as far away from the office as I want, but because they are simple and quiet: runners or Hunters, morning walks by the water or through the forest, easy conversation, and good food. It’s hard to believe that come fall, I’ll be leaving…
Easter in Instagrams
1. Bunny ears. 2. Peeps from Beta5 Chocolates. 3. Balloon. 4. He is Risen. 5. Sunny walks with Mom. 6. Apple-lemon-ginger. 7. Pistachio-cherry & vanilla.
Officially Spring
Spring officially started a few days ago, and today is a beautiful affirmation: the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the crocuses are out of hiding. Too bad it’s freezing. Stella and I had still had a great walk with my mom at Trout Lake early this morning though, and afterward, we stopped…
Driving Miss Stella
Whether she’s riding next to me in the passenger seat or being a little backseat driver, she’s the best little passenger ever. She never opposes my random, out-of-the-way cravings and detours: if I want to stop at Faubourg for a chocolate twist, that’s fine as long as she gets to pop into Simply Natural for a…
Hint of Spring
After a perfect morning at Garry Point, a light breeze and purple and yellow crocuses, it’s pretty clear that spring really is just around the corner.
Sunny with Stella
Sunny, almost-spring mornings, I think, are meant to be lazy. Today was exactly that. Warm almond milk and toast with ricotta, agave, and black pepper for breakfast, followed by a long, lazy walk with Stella. Perfect start to the weekend.
Family, friends, and food
Today was a beautiful day; the weather channel had forecasted rain, but Mother Nature clearly had other plans, so instead of a wet walk through Lynn Canyon, we took Stella to Vanier Park which has a great dog beach. Stella loves the water…but swimming isn’t quite her forte so I have to keep a pretty…
Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Hope you all had a great day with the people you love.
