This was such a fun collage to put together, as I’m obsessed with this dress and couldn’t believe I found lovely orange sandals to go with it! If you look closely, you can see the orange sunsets on the dress. It’s a beautiful fantasy land by the sea or maybe…

End of School Gift Ideas!
It’s that time of year! After months that dragged or flew by, we are once again at the end of a school year. I’m happy to see another summer and to see my son grow and learn so many things – but it’s also bittersweet! It’s all moving too fast,…

Dublin, Ireland
Dublin, Ireland was my very first destination in Europe. I had lived in the south pacific, all over Canada and the US, visited Cuba but had never been to Europe. I planned an 8 day trip that included Dublin, Brussels and Barcelona. Although I only had a few days in…

Sunscreens and Bug Spray!
It’s that time of year again to stock up on our favourite sunscreens and get out and enjoy the sun. I was telling my husband recently, that as much as I would love to throw caution to the wind and wear a bikini or attractive one-piece bathing suit, I’ll probably…
