We're in the home stretch of summer vacation and we've got a few empty days to fill up still. We've exhausted the summer camp weeks and friends are away at cottages. So, what can we do? There are great areas in the city to explore for day trip that's accessible and fun for families with kids in tow. … [Read more...]
How To Make The Most Of A Luxurious Staycation
For years we've struggled with the idea of travelling over the holiday season. We've had great experiences travelling to tropical paradises, ski getaways and everything in between during this time of year. It was always great to escape with the kids and each destination offered something wonderful … [Read more...]

I should title this post "A Tale of Two Tights". Patterned tights can be tricky to wear sometimes: ones with heavy ribs need to run straight up and down, as do the sorts with cables, or else you look like an errant child. Depending on the size and shape of a motif-type, the lower leg can appear … [Read more...]

And just like that, the temps are below zero. Oh joy, my favourite season is here. *rolls eyes* I love an infinity scarf. So much, I force them on my darling husband as well - they look amazing on him, and they're as cozy as all get out. So when I spied this one a few months back (in that … [Read more...]

Something I'd been searching for was a pair of black moto-style boots, but not ones that would prove too heavy or too clunky-looking on my ankle. I've had my eyes peeled for some time, so when I was at the Nine West store a few weeks back, when I bought this excellent pair of mary janes, I had a … [Read more...]
From My Closet – October 11th, 2013
I'm basically in accessories mode, a) because it's autumn, and it's time to break out all the cool stylin' tricks, and 2) because my anniversary was a month ago, and you know what Martin and I gave each other? BRICKS. (Totally romantic, yo - a timeless classic, one might even say.) Growing kids have … [Read more...]
From My Closet – September 18th, 2013
September, you are drunk. You need to go home now... What is UP with this month? We had a sweltering jungle-like day last week, where it felt like 40 C outside, and the next day, the temps fell to something like 16 C. And then it went up again. And then down again. HELLO, CANADA. (So much for … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – August 26th, 2013
She: Ooooo... can I PLEASE have these? *eyebrows high and hopeful* Me: *exhales slowly* Sneaker. Black with some sparkles (but NOT with lights) and black satin ribbon laces. (And embroidering on the heels in an excellent shade of hot pink for this plum of a child. They go with her … [Read more...]
Love, Sweet Love.
This weekend we celebrated with family as my husband's brother tied the knot with the love of his life. The setting was exquisite: a secret forest, tucked away in a valley, with goats and miniature horses running amok, a sparkling pond, a cozy barn, and too many details to list. Basically, … [Read more...]
So I Took a Seat.
I've been looking for some butt-love for quite a while now... *snort* You might remember this project we worked on two winters ago (and when I say "we" I mean "Martin"). As much as I'd really love to have pockets deep enough to just run out and buy ALL THE THINGS whenever I want them, I had an … [Read more...]
