This picture was taken May 27, 2008 (more than three years ago, holy moly) at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. I think that the lanterns may be one of the most photographed items in the Grand Bazaar, but for good reason. I always get asked why I didn’t bring a lantern home with me, and

Ok, first things first… Before we go too crazy talking about Debbie’s delicious salad, go enter in the draw to win two super amazing prints from January Jones Prints! No one has entered yet, so that means you have pretty much a 100% chance of winning. 100% chance people! Second things second… A huge shout
UPDATE: The Giveaway has closed! I got approximately TWO entries and therefore instead of generating a winner – I’m going to send each winner one print! Several months ago I shared our amazing customized “road trip” print from January Jones Prints. At that time, I also mentioned that I had bought two more prints from
This photo was taken on November 15, 2008, in Kyoto, Japan. As I’ve mentioned before, the hubs loves Japan. In addition to his love for Japan, he has a strange affinity for moss. If he loves Japan, and he Loves me, he LOVES moss (just kidding, at least I hope he loves me more than
Happy Victoria Day / Regular Monday (depending where you are), people! We’re in Montreal for the weekend, and it has been beautiful! But now I’m going to fill your souls up with some deep reading. But, let’s start by telling you that last weekend on the train ride to Ottawa to visit the in-laws, I
So…I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve been busy. I’ve also not been posting that much, a clear indication of busy. But in the last couple of weeks I have come to realize that in keeping a personal blog, and in posting a lot of the meals that I cook on such blog, the whole
In mid-April the hubs and I went for a weekend in New York and hung out with his boss. For those of you who don’t know my husband (or his boss) that sounds pretty brutal. In fact, it was a great weekend, filled with amazing eats, and lots of visiting. We also stayed at the
This picture was taken on March 29, 2009 at the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia (I suggest you read this post, it was one of the most popular on the travel blog!) While we struggled a little bit with our tour, we also appreciated just how amazing the scenery was. Salt flats are spectacular, I’ve
Last weekend, on Mother’s Day, the hubs and I went for a walk in High Park to see the cherry blossoms and then trekked all the way home from there. As neither one of us lives in the same city as our moms, we had nice long phone calls with them in the morning (fulfilling
Where have I been (other than writing a mother’s day post for my mom) you ask? Well, I’ve been a busy little bee working on being a lawyer and being a photographer! As I promise on my about me page, this blog is going to be full of shameless self promotion, so (a little not-so-shamelessly,
This picture was taken on April 26, 2009, at a “futbol” game at Maracana stadium in Rio. We were lucky enough to be there for an important game between Botafogo and Flamengo. Even better than that? We were seated in the Flamengo section (by default Flamengo fans) for a big win.
My mom is awesome. She’s caring and smart and loyal and funny. She laughs with me and cries with me. She’s my confidante, my advocate and my friend. And today, on Mother’s Day, I’m going to share with the whole wide world just a few of the many, many things that make my mom the
This photo was taken on September 15, 2008 at a Himba orphanage in Namibia. Now, there were lots and lots of things wrong with the orphanage (described more fully here), but I also think they were really trying to do some things right. One thing that may not be technically “right” but was oh-so-cute was
