My mom and sister gave us a Nespresso Cube for a shower gift. I actually screamed when I opened it. Ever since the day we went to register at the Bay and stopped by the Nespresso concept store, Ash and I have been dreaming of mornings with this sleek machine. And I am not, by [...]
Happy looking Image via Black Eiffel 1) I am officially done with wedding planning. Now it’s all about wedding unrollling. 2) I work with great ladies (ps: ladies, that’s what we call a blog throw-out) 3) I am making Slime Ricky’s and Cheddar Cobwebs to take to my sister’s house for Halloween. That’s it for now.

Last night, my sister came over and raided my cupboards for classic, white procelain dishes. Yesterday, my mom reported favours had arrived all the way from Conneticuit. Preparations are definitely well-underway and I can barely wait for Sunday. This weekend is my shower. I am lucky to have two crafty ladies in my life with an eye [...]

I am realizing this Thanksgiving just how many wonderful children are in my life these days. It brings a magic to every holiday and a reason to buy mini pumpkins. [...]

Photo via Emma’s Design Blog Pumpkin Muffins…check. Vegetarian chili…check. Hang-over that makes Ash say things like, “I want to pass away”…unintended, but check. I think my work here is done. At least for a Monday. Will have some pictures of this weekend for you soon. In the meantime, here’s the Pumpkin Muffin recipe. Fall is [...]
I think Canada would be comfortable up there in parentheses, don’t you? Shielded on either side from the lunacy of American Politics, hob-nobbing with the French and such. This photo with the baguette made me laugh in a really pleasant way. I found it here – and then followed the trail to a solemn New York Times piece here. The article outlined the advice [...]
Dear Ash, Happy 30th Birthday! I love you. I wrote this one morning in August, in my journal, and since you are so nice and never ask what I write, I thought I’d share it with you here, for your birthday: A – I am sitting here watching you sleep on the little wicker couch [...]
