After calling Windsor home for the past three years, our last night in the city was bittersweet. We spent the day packing, and at night headed to Point Pelee, where we took about a dozen selfies, collected some pretty rocks, and watched two currents meet while the sun set in the distance. Everyone was happy….

Remembering Stella
My third and final year of school is slowly but surely coming to an end, and I’m reminded of how life is full of surprises – good and bad. I never imagined beginning my career in Toronto, and I never, ever imagined that Stella wouldn’t be around when I graduated. I don’t think I’ll ever…
Meat & Cheese
I love charcuterie boards because they are essentially a legitimate excuse to order several different things without looking like a glutton (I love tapas for the same reason – I could eat patatas bravas and octopus for days). So when I get to basically have three different versions of bacon on one board with a…
Cronuts x Windsor
Windsor has a unique way of doing things (driving, parking, spring – it’s currently snowing) and sometimes it’s a little questionable. But one thing I never ever question is its take on the “cronut”. Blak’s Bakery in Windsor literally takes a whole croissant, deep fries it and then douses it in a sweet orange glaze….
February Favourites
February is one of my favourite months. In a single month, we celebrate my mother’s birthday, a favourite’s birthday, our anniversary and Valentine’s Day. And on top of that, it’s peak parka and blanket scarf season. It’s a month of white hot chocolates and great food. What’s not to love? We celebrated our anniversary at…
Beaucoup on a Sunday
Stopping by Beaucoup Bakery & Café on a rainy Sunday has become somewhat of a routine for us, particularly after a morning at the Kits dog beach. We always plan on getting a couple things, but inevitably end up with a boxful of almond croissants, kouign amann and cheddar & green onion scones. Any self-control…
My girl, Stella
My life with Stella was short – just a little over six years – but it was the best six years I could have ever hoped for. She was small for her breed, but we quickly discovered that she had a big personality and lots of demands. As is typical of French Bulldogs, Stella was…
Rest in Peace, Stella
If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, Keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever. – Winnie the Pooh October 10, 2009 – December 7, 2015
Hi, December.
As predicted, November flew by, and suddenly it’s December 1st. While I’m not complaining that December is upon us, it would be nice if time could slow down just a little bit. Each day brings us closer to end of the school year, and I go back and forth between being ready to graduate for…
Starbucks, Skittles and a Wedding
We were in Vancouver for five days last week, but it felt more like two. It was a busy five days. The first few days were spent at various coffee shops around the city trying to pump out papers while trying to squeeze family and Stella time and last minute errands in between, followed by…
Thanksgiving in Toronto
We celebrated Thanksgiving last weekend in Toronto, and while it was far from a traditional turkey-and-stuffing Thanksgiving, it was a great time. We spent time with some great people, and had some great food. We went on a “Best of Toronto” food tour, which started off with some of the best amaretti cookies I’d ever…
