This past Saturday, my family and I had a lovely dinner at Speekeezie’s restaurant in Brantford, Ontario. This place has held a special place in all of our hearts for many years now, and we tend to go there to celebrate occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. On this particular occasion, we were celebrating my mom’s … More Have you been to Speekeezie’s in Brantford?
As much as my husband and I enjoy The Keg, we try not to frequent it too often because it is on the pricier side. That being said, we promised each other back in May that we would go out for dinner to celebrate our birthdays – seeing as we are now almost entering July, … More What’s your go-to order from The Keg?
I had a pair of Crocs for quite a few years when I was younger. I wore them religiously, and while I’m not entirely sure what happened to them, I think perhaps they were worn out or a dog got a piece of them. I never got another pair after these ones were destroyed, but … More Need some shoes? Get yourself a pair of Crocs
As of last Thursday, I am officially a member of the 30 club. This is the year for those of us born in 1995 to embrace the dreaded yet inevitable invitation we are graced with to become members of the 30 club, and while I still don’t really know how to feel about being 30, … More Hello, 30
This past Wednesday was my 29th birthday. I don’t feel obligated to hide or shield my age from the public quite yet as I haven’t yet hit 30; I can’t for certain say I won’t start to withhold my age after I pass the 30 threshold, but for now, let us enjoy some transparency regarding … More Here’s to birthdays
Today is a joyous day – I should probably stipulate that I wrote this post on January 12, so we are speaking in past tense, because the 12 of January just happens to be the day my big sister, Danielle, was born. Danielle has never been overly keen on making a big fuss about her … More Don’t be so quick to dismiss a birthday
A few days ago, my dad’s side of the family got together for a lovely dinner to celebrate my Nagymama’s (grandmother, in Hungarian) birthday. We tend to celebrate her birthday with the entire family every year, and this year was no exception. We went to Devlin’s Country Bistro in Mount Pleasant and enjoyed a tremendous … More Let’s make pecan pie
This past Monday, I celebrated my 28th birthday. I feel as though I should stipulate that while I am more than willing to share my age with all of you now, I may not be so willing once I’m over 40. That won’t be for a while, though, so we should be just fine in … More Another year, another birthday
This past Thursday, Blaine and I celebrated his 29th birthday. He isn’t exactly the type to willingly engage in celebratory birthday activities, so our festivities were pretty low-key, just as he prefers. Blaine has a sweet tooth but can be picky with his desserts. He is an avid fan of his grandmother’s chocolate pie, and … More Read this to learn how to make homemade chocolate pie
There is something unexplainable about the atmosphere of a summer evening spent simply. The evenings are warmer and last longer; the overall mood of an environment seems to be enhanced; memories are made and appreciated. While it may not officially be summer yet, the weather is looking and feeling a hell of a lot more … More The simplicity of summer nights
I have always found the concept of birthdays to be rather interesting. I recently celebrated my 23rd birthday, and I find that the older I get (and yes, I realize I really cannot categorize myself as old, mom), the more my birthday is becoming about enjoying and being grateful for time spent with family and … More The True Joys of Birthdays
