This photo was taken on July 9, 2008 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. I actually didn’t really like Dubrovnik, the old happiness = reality/expectations got me there. Despite my lackluster feelings about the city itself, I certainly don’t have any lackluster feelings about this this picture. The combination of perfect light and pastel laundry… well… it makes
Several months ago I came across an awesome etsy seller, January Jones Prints, and their super cool print, “the roadtrip”. It got me thinking… wouldn’t a world map with all the places the hubs and I have been together be an awesome piece of art to adorn my walls? I promptly contacted Kirsten & Nic,
Take 8?! I’ve been at this for 8 weeks already? It feels like just yesterday that I decided I needed an outlet for all my personal blogging. It’s been an amazing 8 weeks so far, and I’m only feeling more and more inspired. Have I got lots of fun posts for you coming up! This
I did I super fun project this weekend that drew its inspiration from all over. It was partially inspired by this “Five Dolla Art” post over on YHL, partially inspired by this Double Rainbow Pancakes post on The Girl Who Ate Everything, partially inspired by this Rainbow… post on Asthetic Outburst, partially inspired by St.
Given some of the recipes I’ve posted to date (including this one and this one) it probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise to you that I’m not quite a vegan. Until fairly recently I sort of thought that vegans were malnourished hippies. In the past several years, however, I’ve started following a few
I loved the travel photos I’ve posted in the last couple of weeks so much that I’ve decided I’m going to do it weekly (on Tuesdays… gotta love a little alliteration. “A little alliteration” get it?). This photo was taken on February 14 (Valentine’s Day, yay!) in Easter Island. Part of the reason that One
As I’m sure you’ve all heard, on Saturday night the human race was witness to a supermoon. The last time we all had an extreme supermoon was 18 years ago. When I was 10. Probably looking at the supermoon through my best friend’s dad’s telescope. Times have changed, I tell you. As an aside, this
I feel a little funny doing a “best of” post this week. I seriously considered not posting, but something inside me told me it would be a good idea. So, here I go! Today’s round up will be less wordy than usual, but know that if a site is featured, it is because I truly
The hubs returned from SXSW on Wednesday with some sort of plague. He was so sick while there that he had spent an entire day in bed. This may not sound that appalling to some of you, but my husband is super immunity man.* In the time I’ve known my husband, he’s NEVER spent a
I’m super pumped to get my new camera bag in action at an engagement shoot Saturday morning! I’ve been looking for a new camera bag for quite a while. Two popular solutions just don’t work for me. While I love Kelly Moore’s bags, they cost $200 – $250 and they don’t have quite the versatility
This is a tasty salad and chicken schnitzel combo I came across about a year ago on Epicurious. The original salad recipe calls for frisee and belgian endive. The first time I made it I substituted arugula for both because my grocery store doesn’t carry either frisee or beligian endive. Lame, I know. A few
I haven’t said anything about Japan on the blog yet because I didn’t know what to say. I still don’t know what to say. But today, 4 days after the disaster, I am going to try. I don’t know that words can ever be sufficient in such circumstances. What can you say about the loss
I’ve got five (five!!) awesome things to share with you, on this week’s round up of my favorite things on the internet! And on top of the five official things I’m sharing, I’ve also posted to five bonus things! So, if you can find all the bonus links, there are a total of ten (ten!!)
The dreary, rainy, slushy, miserable, barfy, gray Toronto weather (can you tell I’m enjoying it?) made me crave the warm, dry and bright heat of Africa. This image was taken September 9, 2008 on our very first day in Namibia at Fish River Canyon. I wish I was there right now.
A super quick post this morning to shout to to a seriously amazing vegetable tortellini soup I made last night. A few weeks ago I came across the recipe at Sing For Your Supper, and last night (with all the slushy, rainy, windy, horribleness we had going on here in Toronto) was the perfect night
