I realize my recent blogs have been somewhat mother of the bride and wedding themed (no duh!), but it’ll only be for the next couple of months, I promise 🙂  In fact, this little post is about my new favourite boutique. Yes, it happens to be in Montreal, and yes, I...

This time last week, I was on a plane en route to Montreal to visit my daughter, Charlotte, and her fiancé, Ryan. I had my big pink book with my big ol’ list of wedding planning items, and quite honestly I didn’t know if we would get any of them checked off with our...

Tomorrow, my alarm will obnoxiously beep at 4a.m. and my mission will commence. “Operation Wedding Planning” demands that I fly across this fair country and parachute into Montreal to tie up loose ends, finalize decisions, and generally be Supermom Of The Bride. I...

Love is in the air this fabulous Friday for Valentine’s Day! Whether you roll your eyes at this “Hallmark” occasion or enter in fully with decorating your house and baking Valentine’s cookies for everyone you come into contact with, there’s no getting away from roses...

I’m kicking off a new year of Fabulous Friday posts- you know, the lighter stuff I like to share every other week including recipes, fashion, books, movies, and fun things in life. There’s just something about a Friday that warrants a frivolous moment, and I aim to...

Last week, we threw a bridal shower for my daughter, Charlotte. Even saying the words “bridal shower” referring to my little girl sounds surreal, but the reality is now sinking in- she truly  is getting married in May. Just 4 months away. Breathe. The shower was...
