Naptime With Charlie

One of my favourite things about lazy Saturdays and Sundays? Hanging out with Charlie and watching him nap.

Too cute. Makes me wish there were more than just 2 days in the weekend.

Hockey Night In Canada

Anyone that knows me know that I’m not a hockey fan. I don’t watch it. I don’t bandwagon it.

You wouldn’t find me at a game…unless, it was for a work thing. As part of our Christmas bonus, our team got treated to a hockey game a couple of weeks ago. Complete with penthouse suite and catering.

Postcards From Up North


My weekend getaway turned out better than I imagined. I got to see the Northern lights at least for one of the nights I was there. I got to spend time with doggies. The locals there were so friendly and helpful. Everyone made you feel welcome to their city of 26,000.

And it wasn’t nearly as cold as I thought it would be.

I would definitely recommend anyone if they were interested in going to Whitehorse to view the aurora borealis. It’s a great weekend getaway.

And I had booked for 2 nights, so that doesn’t give me a lot of chances.

School Fieldtrip For Adults

Sean and I made a couple of attempts to go to the Vancouver Aquarium the past few months. But we were foiled time and again due to sudden inclement weather or too long of a line-up of parents and their children on the weekends. So when the aquarium hosted an adults only evening, to experience the peace and tranquility of their galleries, we jumped at the chance to go.

Coming To A Wall Near You

So this is what I’d look like if I was grafitti’d to the side of a building. Hopefully not located in some skid-row alley. And perhaps higher out of reach. I quite like the idea of passerbys having to look up to see me.

Get yourself grafitti’d with Fotofitti by Amioli. Choose a picture, pick the colour of your spray paint, decide on a wall, give your phone a little shake and psssssssftttt (cool sound effect), bam! You’re Banksy-fied.
