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...How to Style Spring Denim
Spring has sprung and so have all the Spring collections! All our favourite stores are bursting at the seams with flowy dresses, floral prints, and transitional denim to get us through the cooler Spring days (and into the cooler Summer nights) in Vancouver. Finding the right jeans for your body can be a feat, in...Ami Boutique Spring Fashion
My friend (and fellow blogger) Samantha Dempster has been telling me for months… MONTHS!… about a new(er) clothing store in West Vancouver called Ami. Her list of reasons why I “needed” to check out the store was long. And I absolutely see why now, after going in to Ami for the first time myself recently. ...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...Zihuatanejo: Where to Stay, Eat and Play
I am VERY fortunate to have the opportunity to visit Zihuatanejo every year. My dad created something amazing there during his time as President of Club Intrawest and our family has been going every year for the last 14+ years. I feel that the resort he has built there is part of his legacy and...The thing about aging (skin)…
Here’s the thing about getting older: I can confidently say that this is my favourite stage of life. I love being a mother and I love the ages my kids are at– we can do so much together. I love the confidence and assurance in myself that has really seemed to solidify in the last...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. Stats like that shatter my heart into a million pieces. As a mother to two young children myself, the thought of ANY child not being warm...On The Road With NÜTRL
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...
