If there was ever a time of year to cuddle up and get cozy with a good book, this is it! I’ve been reading a ton of great books lately and have a “to read” list that’s a mile and a half long. There are just so many to choose from. Also, I could spend the rest of my life in Chapters and be one happy camper. But that’s a different story. I thought I’d share some of the books I can’t wait to crack open, and some of my favourite reads from the past little while. They would make… View Post

Stefan and I have been bit by the cookie bug…we can’t get enough lately! We decided to step away from our usual Pillsbury pre-made dough and make our own cookies from scratch (sort of). I hopped on my trusty Pinterest to find a recipe and came across this Oreo Peppermint Crunch Cookie recipe. I liked the sound of it, but decided to make a minor change…no Oreos! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good Oreo (or 50). I just wanted to mix it up a bit, and since the recipe is made with cake mix, I figured it would… View Post

So I have the best boyfriend in the world (barfff). He took me away on a mysterious weekend getaway…and for once, he managed to keep it a secret! I had no idea where we were going, and was so stoked when we arrived in Niagara. (Okay so I had kiiiiind of an idea, but still a sweet surprise!) We ate, we drank (shocking), we played at the arcade…I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend with my favourite person. The coolest part of the weekend was going on a wine tour! I’ve never been to a wine tasting, and quite… View Post

PODCASTS, THOUGH. Serial started me on the path to podcast addiction. First of all, if you haven’t listened to Serial, stop what you’re doing and go download it. Listen to all of the episodes in one sitting, and come back. Perfect, now you see what I mean. For a while, I struggled to find podcasts that drew me in as deeply as Serial did…truly such a fan. Now that I’ve had time to come down from my Serial high, I’ve managed to find some RIVETING podcasts. Huge shoutout to my friend Sydney, who is constantly introducing me to fun new… View Post
