life is beautiful

Another lovely weekend has came and gone again. Visiting the market for fresh veggies and local organic meats for future feasts and then taking super long afternoon naps in the warm sunshine instead of working on projects. Coffees + family and shopping for hours for “work” projects. And getting a couple extra treats for myself too!

Wish the weekend could last forever. I miss the summer vacations of my university days. Sigh…

A new week brings exciting things however and I can’t wait to enjoy them all (including indulging in some oysters +books later in the week)!

Watch for me on Food Nouveau tomorrow for My Edible City. I share my favourite meal in Seattle!

happy weekend

the next bike i want to own! i heart linus bikes!

oh, the weekend has finally arrived. happy weekend, friends! while last weekend took us to the mountains for a springtime adventure, i think the chilly spring rain will keep us inside for the next couple of days. tied up with projects of all sorts, i will be spending lots of time staring at the old computer screen. but its all really good stuff that i am excited to be working on and cant wait to share with everyone. i am also hoping to make it out to IKEA to pick up some DIY supplies as well as the shops to choose some items for a cool spread I am working on. most of all, looking forward to some down time with my family.

here are my latest posts for the week:

This is my absolute favourite skirt of the moment created by Sarah Ball Photography and Anthropologie. I am definitely in the mood for spring, I just wish the Calgary weather would return to the sunny warm skies of last week!

turnin’ day into nighttime / turnin’ night into daytime

we had a lot of fun in vegas last week but we are glad to be back in the land of the living. the smokey slot-machine-filled casinos can get a bit much after awhile. loved the sunshine, the shopping & relaxing with my honey. we slept in until 3:00pm one day – best thing ever. anyways, here is some snaps from my instagram. more to come…xo

life lately according to my instagram

man, life is busy! i have been having the best time ever lately – busy with some really fun DIY projects over at Swerve, shopping for spring and getting ready for our easter weekend vacation. my husband’s parents also moved back to calgary so we’ve been busy seeing them and getting them settled in their new place (which is pretty magical – cant wait to take some photos there).  sometimes life should just go a little slower – i can hardly believe it is april already. its likely i will need a vacation from my vacation but life moves on! i honestly cannot complain. my day job over here has been equally crazy busy and we are gearing up for some super exciting announcements for may!

anyways, here is what my life has been like lately according to my instagram. you can follow me here:
