Last month, I was lucky enough to head home for a week of family time. It was a week filled with food, sleep, and lots and lots of kisses from Peanut and my family’s new (ish) pup, Pearl. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Most days were spent doing what I love most:…

Friends, Vodka Sauce & Pinky Rings
On Saturday, two of my favourite girls and I headed over to Detroit to shop and have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. The former went exactly as planned, and we ended up with some amazing things like a Frenchie sweater from J. Crew, matching pinky rings, and among other things, Essie nail polish by the…
Family Weekend: Monday
And the weekend with family continues: today we met up with some friends at Westminster Quay, a place I hadn’t been to in years – not since my brother and I were kids. The Boathouse, a great seafood restaurant at the quay, was a spot my family frequented because cooking was neither of my parents’…
Family Weekend: Saturday
This past three-day weekend has proven to be very busy, and very much filled with family. I feel like I’m running on four hours of sleep, yet I’m strangely awake, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The reality of the fact that I’ve got less than a month left here has set in,…
Patios & Piers

Stella, a canyon & lemon cupcakes
When the weather turns nice, there are few places I’d rather be than the North Shore. There is just so much nature to be taken in – crystal waters and boulders, massive pines and bald eagles – and Lynn Canyon, where Stella and I, along with family and some friends, spent the better part of…
Saturday 2012
In a few short days, it’ll be 2013! Kind of mind-blowing, huh? I’m really excited to see what the new year will bring, but for now, I’m enjoying the last few days of 2012. Today, the last Saturday of 2012, Stella and I hung out with family and some friends enjoying a chilly morning walk…
Medina Brunch
This morning my mom babysat Stella while I had a much-needed brunch with some of my favourites. Café Medina has been my go-to brunch spot for years, so I should’ve known that we’d be waiting awhile in rainy seven degree weather, yet somehow, I managed to show up in Keds and without a cup of…
