A Family + Lifestyle Blog
Tis’ the season for creating and connecting in La Cucina! Looking back on your festive food favourites, it’s DOLCI all the way!

❤️SAN DIEGO AMORE: Tastes of Italy Family Adventure in SoCal❤️ San Diego was one of my primo fave spots in Southern California (‘SoCal‘) for SO many reasons – the phenomenal food scene, the sky-high palms dotting the avenues, the mesmerizing sunsets and the Cali-cool SD vibe. We find a little slice of Italy wherever we go one of our most memorable days in San Diego
The countdown to Christmas is on, I don’t quite feel “holiday-ready”{what does that even mean?!}, I may be the only blogger without a decked out home and tree, BUT festive food is where I find my joy this time of year and all the other holiday fussing gets tossed aside (my Un-doing!).

Appy December, guys! As heavy as this year has been, it certainly has gone by in a flash. I will not peak your holiday stress more by giving you the countdown, but seriously, I’m feeling a little unprepared. I still have 99% of my Christmas shopping to do, so while it may look like I have my holiday ducks in a row with some of
I don’t know about you, but our Cucina has turned into one, big holiday food workshop over here!

April is one of our favourite months to travel. It usually marks the end of a long Winter & demanding hockey schedule – our time to exhale & connect as a family off the grid. I think we’re all missing those escapes fiercely that were part of our well-being…something wanderlusty to look forward to. We’ve had to cancel all of our family travel plans
