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…
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…
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.
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,…

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…
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
