Happy BC Day!
I've lived in beautiful British Columbia for just over three years now, and to this day it still really does take your breath away. We've travelled quite a bit throughout this province and I'd say we've barely scratched the surface! There is so much to see and do here; it's hard to do it all.…

Our Go To 2018 Summer Cocktails

The Little Black Backpack
Happy Thursday everyone! I hope everyone is keeping cool during this crazy heat wave we've got goin' on here in Southern Ontario! As unbearable as this heat can be, it for sure won't stop me from going outside because any day that doesn't consist of snow is a good day! Any time I do make…
