Now more than ever my baking urges have intensified, keeping me on my feet and distracted; focused on something else other than the news or being a Netflix potato. But most importantly, baking is a form of creative expression for me. It's a fun outlet that produces delicious outcomes. Just like for everyone else, this … Continue reading Earl Grey Yogurt Cake
Well, things just got real. You've probably been summoned to work from home and if this is your first time working from home, or at least for a longer period of time than you're used to, then you're probably a little out of sorts, and you're definitely starting to get cabin fever. This is especially … Continue reading Helpful Tips for Working From Home
Thought I'd interrupt your feed from COVID-19 content to whoever needs it. I myself have taken a break from the headlines and memes, and shifted my focus back to the every day of normal life. If you're feeling the same, then hi! That said, I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and of each … Continue reading Appreciating the Now
Leave it to the shortest month of the year to be packed with special occasions. Some of my most favourite people celebrated a milestone chapter in their life, succeeded a professional accomplishment, started a new job, and two very dear people to me have birthdays during this month. Basically, celebrating life is how this February … Continue reading Winter ONE-derland for a First Birthday
It's only natural that my first blog post of 2020 would be wedding-related because...we've officially started planning our wedding! đ But even for a list-making, multitasking, detail-oriented Virgo whoâs worked in the wedding industry for four years and can whip up a mood board with my eyes closed...I gotta say, I'm learning a lot. Despite … Continue reading Maid of Honour Proposal
Today marks four years since we signed a lease and moved in together. The evening we received our keys, we got a little Christmas tree for our new place symbolizing the start of a new chapter in both of our lives: we were both moving out of our parents' house for the first time, and … Continue reading Cozy Christmas Decor
When I decided to add a Recipes section to my blog, I never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I did. I never considered myself a "pro" recipe blogger, and I still don't, but the fact is this: I love food, I love to cook, and I love to bake. But I especially love … Continue reading Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
A travel post on Montreal was long overdue on the blog considering it's a city I've visited many times on family trips, work trips or as you've recently come to know, impromptu winter adventures. Without a doubt though, our recent trip there was notably the most special. So I thought I'd share six "Montreal Musts" while imprints … Continue reading Travel Stamp: MontrĂ©al
The Fall season has been pretty extraordinary this year. So much so that I want to savour it in this blog post, especially since it's been snowing and already below zero cold since Monday. Switching my leather jacket to a winter parka was a quick adjustment I wasn't ready to make so suddenly. I was … Continue reading Bittersweet Farewell to October
They say that you learn a lot about someone when you travel with them, and that couldn't be more true. "Montreal" represents a special milestone in our story, and not just because we are poutine enthusiasts or because I'm a proud Francophone. Montreal was the first trip we took together, and that trip was the … Continue reading A Love Story in Montreal
Hair spraying my hair "cartoon red" for a Cheryl Blossom costume felt familiarly nostalgic, and inspired me to go back to my original redheaded favourite. Happy Halloween! XO â€
Halloween costumes are a favourite on this blog. From unicorn costumes to Ariel costumes, I always look forward to this time of the year to post about what creative direction I decided to venture into for Halloween. This year was particularly fun because I got to be in my usual colourful costumes, and I also got … Continue reading Dark Moon Empress Halloween Costume
Like many, there are certain baked-goods that are my "go-to's" for a select Holiday or season. My lavender cookies are my staple for Spring, my gingerbread cookies are my Christmas must-haves, and my strawberry cupcakes are...well, let's be real, that can be enjoyed anytime of the year. Truthfully, any baked-good can be enjoyed at any time … Continue reading Pumpkin Bread with Salted Maple Butter
I recently posted an apple crumble in-the-making in my Stories, and didn't think much of it until I received DM replies asking for a recipe. The people have spoken, so here I am, giving the people what they rightfully deserve. A warm, comforting, tasty apple crumble they can whip up at home on a Sunday … Continue reading Autumn is for Apple Crumble
One thing that I've realized about myself is that I often feel the need to be surrounded by environments that ignite inspiration. If a few days go by without anything stimulating me creatively, I feel a need to seek it. Those environments can be many things; seasons, cafĂ©s, nature, old homes and even images on … Continue reading DIY Framed Pressed Flowers
