Long Weekend Vibes with Sumac Ridge
While we normally try and sneak out of town any chance we get, this long weekend we are staying put and enjoying some time with family and friends in Vancouver. Our days will include workouts, organizing the house, time with our kidlets and evenings with our friends. Those evenings with friends will include wine (no...Easy Ways to Update Your Bedroom With MUJI
At a close tie with the kitchen, I have always felt that the most important room in the house in the master bedroom. It’s the place where you get to reconnect and recharge and it SHOULD feel like a little safe-haven. I’ve been in my current house for 6 months now and, I’m embarrassed to...Holiday Hosting with Poplar Grove Wines
December… oh December. The time of year where social calendars (and waistbands?) are stretched to the max. It’s the most wonderful time of the year with friends and family making more of an effort than usual to get together and celebrate. I love entertaining guests at our place and I equally love heading out for...MUJI Holiday Gift Guide
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I ‘m sure I’m not alone on this one, but I LOVE absolutely everything about the holiday season. I love Christmas markets and the glow of the lights hanging off everyone’s houses. I love cozy nights around the Christmas tree and finding the perfect gifts for all...The Joy of Warmth- Supporting Canadian Families in Need
According to a recent study by Quaker Canada, more than one in five Canadian parents (21%) have struggled financially themselves to ensure their child is appropriately dressed for winter.

It was mid-September. The kids were settled into school. The leaves were starting to turn the beautiful colours of Fall. Sam and I packed the car with some essentials and headed out on the road with NÜTRL. Sam (The Family Jewels) had found a beautiful hotel outside of Seattle called Lodges on Vashon so we...Healthy Road Trip Snacks
If you’ve been following along on our Instagram feeds and Stories, you’ll maybe have noticed that Sam and I have been on the road quite a bit lately. We recently wrapped up a really exciting Fall campaign with Uptown Shopping Centre in Victoria and before that we explored Seattle and the Lodges on Vashon. With...My health and beauty team!
It takes a village. Not just to raise kids, but also to run a business, to train for a marathon and, for many of us, to keep ourselves up and running. I get asked often about the various members of my health and beauty team, so I thought I would introduce you to the people/services...A Day In The Life of a Blogger
Probably the question I get asked the most about being a blogger is what exactly do I ‘do’. I get a lot of, “soooo… is this your actual job? Like, do you make money?”. I get a lot of “what exactly does it MEAN to be a blogger?” Mostly I get a whole lot of...A conversation with my dad in my dreams
Almost a year ago, the world lost Jim Gibbons. My dad. The void has been palpable for so many. I still have friends and family tell me how much this is affecting them and I really get it. My dad was larger than life. This morning, I got proof of his larger-than-life-ness. I had...
