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.

DadChef and I just celebrated our 17th Anniversary (*28 years of couplehood*). Amidst a very fast and full family life, being the “forgot my hockey equipment” fetchers, viral laundry load washers, last minute grocery-getters, “can’t find my library book” finders, and Mom/Dad Uber-drivers, time and energy for romance is beyond minimal.

Things To Do in San Diego – Golden Experiences Beyond Theme Parks for the Whole Family! San Diego, California is a dreamy destination for the whole family!

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

Some of my fondest core memories from childhood happened in the City – the fun of riding the boats at Centreville with Dad, the thrill of candy hauls, ride-hopping and winning stuffies at The Ex and so many more. The best part about this season of family life is enjoying those nostalgic, and even some new,
California Love – we’ve got our minds on Cali, and Cali on our minds! Our family vacation to The Golden Coast was one of those plans that flew out the window the last few years, but we’re back in planning mode and bringing a simple recipe forward to commemorate. More of a food-torial then a recipe, these California Dreamin’ Veggie Burgers are a narly idea
AH-ruba💙 “You are exactly where you need to be” was a beautiful affirmation we stumbled upon shortly after arrival. Our first grown-ups only escape in over 10 years – ‘One Happy Island’ proved a fabulous place. Aruba has been on our radar to visit for a while (another tick off the Kokomo song 🎵 bucket list!) and this Lesser Antillas Island was the perfect spot
Lake Placid Winter Getaway Guide: Where to STAY, EAT and PLAY I’m smiling big as I write this – a gals’ trip I almost talked myself out of a mountain’s high many times but one filled with soul-fueling, fear-conquering, unforgettable memories that would sustain me through what prevailed just 3 weeks after returning – when the world came to a standstill and COVID-19 brought travel
When I was 17 years old, I was lucky enough to get to join some girlfriends on my first sans parents trip to Europe – destination the spectacular nation of Spain.
