Nothing turns my mood around quicker than a baby Frenchie and a stop at Beaucoup Bakery. Puppies are my favourite, but there’s just something about baby French Bulldogs – their velvety foreheads, oversized bat ears, and soft, smooshy faces – that I just die for. After our walk at Kits Beach, Stella and I went…

Valentine’s Day
We’re a day late, but Stella and I hope your Valentine’s Day was filled with as much pink and red and sugar and love as ours was. xo.
Motor Burger
About a week ago, we decided to try Motor Burger, a burger place right here in Windsor that was featured on You Gotta Eat Here. I’d heard that one burger called “deux chevaux” was amazing, and I told everyone. Somehow that convinced most people to try it. I didn’t try it. It sounded amazing (gruyere,…
Big Sis/Little Bro
A couple of my favourite Frenchies on Instagram became big brothers and big sisters recently. I think Stella’s ready to be a big sister too.
Hello Again, Windsor
After a delayed flight to Toronto, a cancelled flight to Windsor, a 6 hour wait in the re-booking line-up, a 30 minute wait on the tarmac, a very bumpy plane ride to Windsor, and a very snowy and very cold late-night arrival, I’m back in Windsor. Been here for about three days now, I think….
‘Til Next Time Vancouver
My two weeks at home has been amazing, and sadly, it comes to an end today. I’m getting on a plane tonight (unless Mother Nature has other plans), headed back to snow and school. I just wish I could pack my little bug in a suitcase and take her with me. The weekend has been…

Happy New Year! Stella and I wish you the best, biggest and brightest in 2014! xo Denise & Stella
Garry Point
After breakfast at The Sweet Spot (fresh-baked lemon curd + blueberry brioche) Stella and I took a walk at Garry Point this morning, and it was actually a perfect day. Almost like the calm before the storm, it was quiet – only a handful of joggers and the lone kite flyer – and the water…
Lonsdale Quay
There’s nothing I love more than spending a winter morning by the water. I love the mist, the cold breeze, and what I particularly love about Lonsdale Quay is sitting out on the market patio and seeing the Vancouver skyline across the water. It’s as beautiful shrouded in clouds and fog as it is in…
The Christmas Market
I went to the Christmas Market last week. I’ll be honest, I’m not into arts & crafts, so I pretty much just went for the food: waffles, bratwurst, spaetzle, mulled wine and apple cider. In true Vancouver style, it poured the night we went, but in a way only a true Vancouverite could appreciate, the…
Home is Party Dresses & Bûche de Noël
I always look forward to dinner at my aunt’s house on Christmas Eve – the party dresses and the desserts are my favourite. There is always way too much food, some sort of wii tournament going on, and puppies skidding across the living room hardwood. This year, Stella wore a little ruffled and polka-dotted number…
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, everyone! xo Denise & Stella
