It has been feeling a bit chillier than I'd like these past few weeks and I’ve been dreaming about a sunny vacation. Maybe something like this quick getaway to the desert that we managed to squeeze in back in November...

September 2018 Review & Favourites
Fall is here! I thought I wasn't quite ready to let go of summer, but we have been enjoying some gorgeous fall days. I also have some fun warmer weather travel plans coming up in the next month, so I guess I'm not letting go of summer yet!
Three Days in Budapest
Budapest was the final stop on our ten day trip through central Europe. We had a fantastic time in both Prague and Vienna, and Budapest turned out to be an amazing way to end our vacation.
August 2018 Review & Favourites
How is it back to school time already! Even though I'm not a student and don't have any kids heading back to school, September still always feels like a fresh start. It was a busy August, and I have to admit that the summer kind of passed me by this year. I sadly realized this weekend that I haven’t been swimming even once! Hopefully we'll get a few more weeks of summery weather, but I'm also a little excited for all the fall things (and Halloween - the most wonderful time of the year!). Here are a few updates and favourites from August.
Three Days in Vienna
Vienna was the second stop on our European vacation earlier this year. For some reason during my trip planning, I spent way more time researching the other stops on our itinerary - Prague and Budapest. So I stepped off the train in Vienna with basically no expectations. Which is not a bad mindset when you …
Three Days In Prague
I went to Prague! My husband and I had a fantastic time exploring this beautiful city in May. It was everything you could ask for in a European vacation - historic architecture, stunning river views, lots of green space, great food and a ton of tourist friendly activities. It is also probably the most inexpensive city we have visited in Europe. Sounds great, right? Here’s how we spent our three days in the Czech Republic...
Frock Box Review
As promised, I’ve put together a quick review of my experience with Frock Box clothing subscription service. This is a Canadian personal styling service very similar to what Stitch Fix offers for our friends in the US. I initially tried Frock Box last fall with poor results, but signed up for a slightly different service this time and have been loving it!
March 2018 Review & Favourites
Well, I'm a little late on the March review post. Time has been flying and I've been completely slacking on the blog posts. While it would be nice to stick to a consistent posting schedule, I’m determined to have this blog remain a fun hobby, so I’m not going to stress out about it! From past blogging experience I know I lose interest when it starts to feel like a job.
Breakfast Casserole Recipe
I'm always looking for new ways to simplify my life and streamline my everyday routines. As I mentioned in my post about morning and evening routines, I usually take breakfast to work on weekdays - especially since starting my time restricted eating experiment. This make-ahead egg casserole has been my go-to breakfast off and on for a few years now! I typically throw this together on Sunday and start off the week feeling really proud of myself for being so organized...
Mindful Meals
One of my challenges for March is to try to be more mindful of my eating. Like any mindfulness practice, this is simple but not easy! While the idea of enjoying a meal without any distractions sounds straightforward, it is hard to avoid mindlessly reaching for your phone, snacking in front of the tv or just getting caught up in random thoughts.
