It’s a wrap – 2015

December 22, 2015

It’s that time of the year already where I go back and think of all the things we did, the places we went, the food we ate and the fun we had. 2015 passed in a blink, faster than I can grasp – only one week left and I truly can’t think where time went. …

Those of you that follow me on Instagram saw that we escaped Ottawa a few weeks ago for some Miami sun. It was a wonderful week filled with lots of swimming at the pool and beach, celebrating my birthday, the zoo, some local exploring, meeting up with an old friend from high-school and eating more …

We also just received our order form from school for the school Christmas cards, which is a cute fundraiser in which the kids create their own Christmas cards.

Modern Nautical Glam Basement Reveal with The Land of Nod

July 8, 2015

It’s been a while since I talked about our basement reno – the reason is simple. It took us forever to complete it! As per usual in home renos, we underestimated the time we really had available to us to work on the project and everything took longer than we thought it would. But here …

Dominican Republic – Samana

March 2, 2015

We took a much needed break from the Arctic cold and headed south to Samana in the Dominican Republic. This area is less developed than other areas in the country and only has four hotels. I don’t usually book all inclusive, but this year an easy warm vacation seemed like the right thing to do. …

Well, this week I was supposed to share a wonderful and fun birthday cake with you, but the weather got in the way and I was stranded in North America’s most eastern town, missing my son’s birthday party. He did have a grand time with his friends though and a bunch of store-bought cupcakes. I’ll …
