It was Pi Day a couple weeks ago, and being miles and miles away from home and Savary Island Pie Company, I decided to bake my own. And I changed it up too – instead of the usual apple and/or lemon-ricotta we usually celebrate with, I made a key lime pie for the very first…

Christmas at Home
Christmas puppies. Thomas Haas pick-ups. Chocolate and sugar for days. Christmas morning at Kits Beach.
This Time Tomorrow
This time tomorrow, I’ll be reunited with my favourite girl and spicy wontons.
What not to buy a 5 year old
I miss Stella a lot. I didn’t go home for Thanksgiving this year so I missed out on turkey and her 5th birthday. I sent her a present – a water fountain that terrified her. I got her a water fountain because after a recent wellness exam, her doctor said she wasn’t drinking enough water….
Whistler Weekend
When my aunt and uncle came to visit this past summer, we all went up to Whistler for a few days. I love Whistler – it’s as beautiful in the summer as it is blanketed in snow. Stella is not a fan of long drives, and while the drive up to Whistler isn’t that long…
Honeybees & Brownies
On Stella’s “go pee” walk this morning, she got stung by a bee. On her foot. Which meant she wasn’t going to pee or walk any further. She was going to be carried home, all twenty-five pounds of her. And because she doesn’t react well to bug bites of any kind, we got in the…
Home is Balance
Coming home after being away for school wasn’t what I expected. The plan was to get caught up on sleep, go on forest adventures with Stella, hang out by the pool, and of course, eat. And that’s exactly what I did for the first few weeks I was home. But then I got really bored….
Beaucoup & A Baby Frenchie
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…
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.
‘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…
New Year’s Day Brunch
After a night of a little too much champagne, vodka and much-needed pizza, we spent the morning with family friends. We took the puppies for a walk on the seawall and then had a quiet brunch at Giovane Café & Wine Bar at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. I had the pizza feature – arrabiata sauce,…
