Spring is here! After a long weekend, we’re embracing Spring, right?

I’m up too early.
My lips are always dry.
I’m hot and uncomfortable by mid day.

But my garden 😍

We kicked off the new year celebrating Pauline’s birthday the best way 🥂

A private Pilates class at @functionstudiosinc Pilates (most of us had never tried it!) followed by a long, indulgent lunch at @slabtownarmoury
Good movement, amazing food, and even better company 💛

Days like this remind me to celebrate the people who make life sweeter.

I lugged a 10” stainless steel pan from Paris to London; 5,700 km back home. It was worth every step. 🛫

After years of debating stainless steel, I finally picked one up from E. Dehillerin in Paris (a place I can’t believe I hadn’t visited sooner). The sear, the heat, the way food releases - no nonstick compares.

Some souvenirs sit on shelves.
This one gets used.

This trip almost didn’t happen. Life always gives

This trip almost didn’t happen.

Life always gives you reasons to wait - family, money, timing, guilt.
Losing someone we loved reminded us that life is fragile, and the things you keep putting off don’t always wait.

This trip wasn’t perfect, but it’s one I’ll carry with me forever.

Often saying yes is enough. 💕
