This past week found me in New York City and even though I just landed a few short days ago, it feels like a lifetime ago. Between the time I landed and today, I’ve done three other events plus the Carp Fair. To say that I’m exhausted is an understatement […]
Today Willow and I found ourselves at the Ottawa Fury FC game where they went up against the Minnesota United FC. This was a first for both of us as neither of us had been to a professional soccer game before. To put the cherry on top of an already […]
Today Willow and I went to the Ottawa Senators #FanFest event. It was held at Canadian Tire Centre from 9am to 5pm and featured so many fun activities for Sens fans to enjoy. I have a lot to share about the day today but if you’re interested in the giveaway […]
I loved going to the fair growing up. I grew up in rural Ontario, in a small town just outside of Ottawa (well, many small towns outside of Ottawa), and part of the tradition was going to the county fair each and every year. The rides, the lights, the noise, […]
Last night, Crystal and I attended the Brookstreet’s Lumière Gala in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. This year’s theme was, “A Splash of Red” and between the decor and the dresses, it was a perfect, merlot-inspired night. If you haven’t been to the Lumière Gala, it’s an absolute must-attend event […]
Just a couple short weeks ago, Steve (Willow’s dad) got a call from a local radio station in Ottawa called Live 88.5 with some fab news. He had won an all-expenses paid trip to New York City to see the Black Keys live in concert at the Barclays Center in […]
My sister and her boyfriend got a new condo and Willow and I stopped by today to see it. They haven’t moved in yet, or have blinds, and their walls are pretty much ceiling to floor windows in every single room (gorgeous!) so I was SO glad I brought my […]
Today has been rainy, cold and almost borderline miserable. I made the weather just slightly more tolerable by wearing skinny jeans, tall boots and a sweater (my favourite fall go-to outfit) but I still needed to solve one problem: how to keep Willow occupied for the day. A bit blurry […]
The Central Bierhaus, in the Kanata Centrum, is celebrating their grand opening this week and my BFF, Crystal over at Ottawa Valley Moms, and I were able to catch a sneak peek of some of the excitement beforehand during their media preview. I’ve already been to CB numerous times (and […]
This past weekend I found myself in Muskoka… wondering why I haven’t been spending every single weekend of the entire summer there. The well-kept downtown core of Huntsville, the cute little shops, the boardwalk that snaked along the water and the abundance of delicious restaurants at which to eat had […]
