{Image via Chapters.} I borrowed The Help from my friend Heather recently because the movie totally appealed to me. The book ended up being so good that I couldn't put it down. I think I finished it in less than 36 hours which included a work day. It's a totally absorbing story told from the …

{New art for our new place! By Fred Weiss, natch.} I swear that the weeks are just flying by these days! I had a wonderful visit with my mom at the beginning of the week. Having Nick come back from Montreal on Tuesday was great too! We're actively procrastinating about next week's big move but …
on balance.
The simple phrase above is something that I read a few weeks ago that has really stuck with me. It's such a simple thought but to live that way, is not so easy. I'm one of those people who wants to get through every day's to do list (work, freelance work, volunteer work, yoga, swimming, …
happy birthday mom.
{My mom when she was 18.} Today is my mom's birthday! She was just visiting me in Vancouver and we had such a great time. We pretty much talked for three days straight, between eating and drinking wine. I'm very lucky to have a mom like her! Happy birthday Mom!

Two videos that are making me feel cozy these days, and cozy is good, since there is snow coming down in the North Shore mountains right now. I saw the above video a few days ago and cannot stop thinking about it. If I were in that canoe, I think I'd be exhilarated and scared …
cranberry chocolate scones.
This weekend we hosted a brunch to celebrate Nick's birthday. This was occasion enough for me to become a scone making machine! I made three kinds, cranberry dark chocolate, rosemary and parmesan and sweet potato. (I also made banana bread in a fit of baking craziness.) Since I love scones and am at least a …

{We had a really fun evening, for Nick's birthday. A delicious dinner and is there any greater joy than having someone love the present you picked for them? No, there is not. It was a vintage crib board, by the way, because Nick has a new crush on crib.} The last two weeks have felt …
happy birthday nick.
Today is my love's birthday. He's the kind of guy that a blog post just can't describe. He's my best friend, the best listener and I'm so lucky to spend my days with him. Happy birthday Nick!
