Tulip picking at TASC Tulip Farm
I grew up in a house where lavender, tulips and gardenias were frequent visitors. The fragrance alone transports me back to childhood summers and motherly hugs. Tulips often appeared on dining room tables for my Mom’s birthdays and Mother’s Day brunch. These seasonal springtime flowers are her favourite. Five years ago, we went to Terre…

Vintage Christmas Aestehtic
If I could describe our Christmas decoration aesthetic, I would say it’s a mix of Little Women meets Scandinavia. Think rustic ornaments, antique teacups, candlelit lanterns, knitted stockings, and orange slices dangling on a lit tree. The Scandinavian aspect is the simplicity of it all. Think little white houses, wooden figurines, cedar branches and embroidered…

Easter Brunch
We hosted family brunch for Easter this year, and it was so nice to be able to do that again. I hadn’t exercised that part of my brain in so long (since planning our wedding!) so it felt nice to plan a menu and put together a table setting. If you’re well-acquainted with my blog,…

“Quarantine Passport” Birthday Idea
It seems that everyone will get their turn at a quarantine birthday. Some may even get two as we approach the anniversary of COVID. Last February, my husband and I sat at one of his favourite restaurants to celebrate his birthday, unbeknownst to us that a looming pandemic would lock down the world a month…

Mystical Unicorn Makeup and Costume
This Halloween was definitely a different one, but I personally think that was more of a reason to dress up and have fun, even if it’s just for a virtual Halloween party. This year, I dressed up as a unicorn. It was a fun, magical and easy to put together. There are many crafty ways…

“Winter ONE-derland” Theme for a First Birthday
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…

Maid of Honour Proposal
It’s only natural that my first blog post of 2020 would be wedding-related because…we’ve officially started planning our wedding! But even for a list-making, multitasking, detail-oriented Virgo who’s worked in the wedding industry for years and can whip up a mood board with my eyes closed…I gotta say, I’m learning a lot. Despite my “expertise”…

Halloween Fun with The Little Mermaid
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 🧜♀️ 🐚

Dark Moon Empress Halloween Costume
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…

Fiesta Decor for Taco Nights
Apparently, a game night soirée was long overdue as our friends kindly reminded us (ahem, requested). The last game night we hosted was simple and cozy: I made homemade lasagna, and red wine and Cards Against Humanity were enjoyed until the wee hours of the morning. This year we wanted to try out the game…
