[Begin rant] As you all know, I’m pretty dorky, I’m way into money, and I’m totally detail oriented. This means that I am the go-to expert for all my friends and family on credit card rewards programs in Canada. The CapitalOne World Aspire Mastercard has the best reward rate in Canada for most economy seats

Last Friday I told you all about how I was quitting my job and following my dreams. Moving to Buenos Aires. Becoming a full time entrepreneur. And it sure sounds like I’ve got it all together. Well, today I’ve got a little secret to share with you: living “the dream”, well it’s a lot less
Most of my readers started following this blog when I was a full-time tax lawyer, part-time wedding photographer, and was posting photography, cooking, decorating, and diy ideas from my apartment in Toronto. Then in October I got all “goals-oriented” on you with my 30-before-30 list. And then, boom, in November I announced that I was
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
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
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
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
On this Wednesday, the 30th day of November, 2011, I present you, my friends, with my one hundred and fiftieth post on this little blog. I started the blog on January 28 (306 days ago) so some super simple math that I don’t even need a calculator for tells me that I’ve been blogging, on
Happy Monday friends! This is my third last “Monday” for the indefinite future. Or, I guess every day will be a Monday, depending on my mood! Given my waking up at 5:30 everyday in the last week, including weekends, because I am SO.EXCITED.ABOUT.LIFE I tend towards the no days will feel like Mondays. At least
Just a quick note today to say Happy Friday to all my blog friends. If you are in the US, happy Black Friday, if you are not, happy Regular Friday (or weird pseudo Black Friday where you are trying to work but are maybe, just maybe, a little distracted by the online deals…)! I wasn’t
One of the things on my 30-before-30 list was to get new business cards for my photography business! So I was very, very excited when I discovered these templates for mini MOO cards. I love the mini cards. They are just a little bit different than your traditional business card, and they make me stand
I cleaned my oven. Take that “filler” items on my 30-before-30 list. In all honesty, it’s something I should have done a long time ago. And it was not fun. My lungs still feel like burning from the chemicals. There’s got to be a healthier way! (In fact, I just googled it, and there IS
I know you know that there are big things a-brewing in Allison-Suter land. Beautiful things, exciting things, adventurous things! Today, I’m so excited to tell the world (or at least that little part of the world that reads my blog!) of our big, beautiful brilliant, life-changing plans! 29 sleeps from now, on December 15, 2011,
I’ve mentioned my achilles tendon injury once or twice on the blog (here in my ode to running and again in my birthday post). As I mentioned in my birthday post – the injury flared up again, and I finally started going to physio therapy. The problem? A repetitive strain injury and achilles tendonitis caused
