A Rainy Day Off in Instagrams

Lazy morning. Petsmart visit. Sushi to-go. A little baking. Abandoned toys. Because after lunch, it’s nap time.  

Happy Dog, Happy Life

If you asked me, three years ago, what would make for the perfect weekend, I probably would have said something like, “A morning of cardio followed by a good soak in the hot tub, lunch at Provence, then some good shopping.” Nothing could get in the way of that. Except for a little French Bulldog…

Beaucoup & the Beach

There are not many crisp, sunny days in a Vancouver winter, which is fine by me because I was born loving the rain, but the last couple days have been a really nice change from the usual – little gems of sunshine, if you will. Typically, I pull on a pair of Hunters, zip a…

So that rules out some…

Halloween came a little early for Stella and her buds: today was Three Dog Bakery’s Tricks for Treats event at the Suter Brooke village location in Port Moody. We were all so glad the rain held off long enough for costumes and Halloween “pupcakes”. Stella was a pink dragon, teeny tiny sidekick, Peanut, was a…

American Apparel is one of my favourite places to shop. I’m the kind of person who places comfort above all else, so their t-shirts and hoodies are wardrobe staples, much to my mother’s disappointment (if she had her way, I’d be in shift dresses and ballet flats and pastels everyday). Anyway, a few days ago,…
