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 […]
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 […]
Today’s post has no real wordy-pithy content. It’s mostly just to share photos of how we spent Labor Day weekend this year. It was pretty uneventful, as I am still recovering from a cold, and we mostly spent the time preparing for Willow to start Junior Kindergarten. Groceries, last-minute school […]
Located in the Kanata Centrum, the Central Bierhaus is one of Kanata’s newest establishments and is located where O’Connors was previously at 650 Kanata Avenue. The restaurant is open every day from 11am until 2am. The interior of the restaurant is incredible and, if you remember what the interior of […]
This past weekend, Willow and I attended an Ottawa REDBLACKS game together. The REDBLACKS were playing the Calgary Stampeders on a beautiful and HOT Sunday afternoon. The stadium was, yet again, sold out to capacity and the energy in the stadium was palpable. Willow was SO excited to attend her first […]
This past weekend I headed up to Casino Rama, near Orillia, with three of my most favourite people: my momma (Julie), my sister (Trina) and my BFF (Crystal). We were going up to experience the Girlz Getaway Package and to see Alanis live in concert. To say that the four […]
Tonight was incredible. I attended my very first football game, the Ottawa REDBLACKS against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and it couldn’t have been more fun! I had four tickets for the Club level seating on South side at TD Place and decided to bring along my sister, my sister’s boyfriend and Steve. […]
