December 5 to January 5 was a big, big month for me, and I apologize for posting this a day late! As you know, we’ve been in transit and yesterday we shot a pre-wedding barbeque for our January 7 wedding couple! In the first quarter of the year, I’ve come a long way on my
Today is quite literally a Travel Tuesday. At 12:26 PST we flew from PSP to LAX from where boarded a flight to Houston. I’m posting this in the boarding lounge in Houston awaiting our 9:00PM flight to Buenos Aires. We’ll spend the next week in Uruguay and then move into an apartment in Buenos Aires
Happy 2012 to all my friends, near and far, in person and on the internet. I’m so, so, so, excited about 2012. I’m not making any resolutions today (since I have 30 things I’ve already resolved to do by October 5th). But I hope you start 2012 off with a sparkle. A sparkle like the
When I arrived in Edmonton I was super keen. I had been scrambling to pack up in Toronto, so I hadn’t had much time to craft or to bake. I already told you about my fun Christmas gift wrap, and all the other crazy things we got up to over the holidays, but I only
First off, hello friends! Sorry I was on such a long blogcation. I really did intend to post more once the blogcation was technically over last week, but somehow the Christmas season took over and I didn’t get two seconds to breath until today! As I previously mentioned, we packed up our apartment and sent
I’m back! The move went as well as could have been hoped for and we’ve been buzzing around Edmonton and Lloydminster at about a million miles an hour! Things will be pretty light around the blog for the next couple of weeks, but today I want to talk about this year’s wrapping. I’m obsessed with
The last stop on our summer trip was Barcelona. It was my first time in Barcelona. My first time in Spain. I fell in love. In fact, it reminded me somewhat of Buenos Aires. Where I will be in just over two weeks. Be still, my heart. If you are wondering where that awesome terrace
Hi friends! We’ve packed up our apartment, today is my last day of work, the movers come tomorrow and we get on a plane on Friday and don’t come back to Toronto until who knows when! So. I’m taking a blog-cation. A week will give me time to move, catch up on some photography sessions that
Our third stop on our summer trip was our week at the Chateau Ventenac in (surprise, surprise) Ventenac, near Narbonne. Food. Friends. Wine. Day trips to markets and to Carcassone. What could be better?
Bokeh (boh-kay) is the way that the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. You might hear people describe it as “those light spots” or “those blurry lights”. You can read all sorts of neat stuff about bokeh here, here, and here if your technically inclined. What I’m going to talk to you about
Last week the hubs got home earlier than I did from work and since he is a super star, he decided to cook dinner before I got home! Cue the collective “awwwww”. It was such a good treat for me, and since I wasn’t home for most of it, it was much more pleasant for
Our next stop on our summer trip was the Loire Valley. Just a day. I was incredibly sick. But it was as beautiful as I remembered. Chambord. Chenoceau. Little car. Amazing day.
Hello! It is December 5 and what better way to start off the week than to give you my month two update on my 30-before-30 challenge? You can see the month one update here, and the 30-before-30 page right here. As I described last week, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, so this post will be
It’s cold outside. When it is cold outside I like soup. I also love barley. A lot. I have the better part of a two pound bag of barley that I’m trying to use up before the big move sitting in my pantry. I’ve got a handful of barley soups in my repertoire, a barley
So, I was just over at my friend Melissa’s blog West Coast Nest where she said “Raise your hand if the days, evenings and weekends just seem to get busier and busier this time of year!” I knew that I was pretty busy over the next several weeks, given that we made the bright, bright
