The Ultimate Dinner Platter
I did not plan on writing a recipe post this weekend, but I made such a fun and colourful dinner platter last night that it deserves a spot here because I’d love for you to try it. This aesthetic platter looks as though so much planning was put into it – but the opposite couldn’t…

Cozy Charcuterie Board
One of the perks of living in the city is being walking distance from major event venues, which has been so nice to return to with everything reopening again this year. In our neighbourhood, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair was happening this season, and we decided to check it out. This year’s fair was the…

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,…

If you know me, you know that I’m obsessed with tea, antiques and delicious treats, and going for Afternoon Tea checks off all those boxes. My first experience with High Tea was when I planned my best friend’s bridal shower, and I’ve been…

Mermaid Pool Party
The heatwaves this summer have been pretty intense. But if you look at your rosé glass half full, heatwaves are the perfect excuse to host/organize/attend a pool party. You know when it’s so hot and humid that you tell yourself, “Man, I could just jump in a pool right now”? Well, I figured why not…

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…
