I don’t really consider myself a crafty person, but I feel like I unleashed my inner crafting goddess this past weekend! Even though I started to lose steam about 30 minutes into this project (my typical short attention span), I persisted on and ended up with a fun advent calendar that can be reused for [...]

    While I’m en route home after our trip in B.C., I thought I’d give you the shortened version of our 2 night stay in Whistler! Most photos are from my ‘droid. Better pics will be coming soon once I have a chance to process and sift through the hundreds of them!!   We drove [...]

One of my goals for August (and onward) is to start making big batches of veggie burgers. I’ve been relying far too much on boxed frozen veggie burgers and the cost really starts to add up. I usually buy Amy’s California burgers and they cost between $6-8 for 4 patties, depending on the grocery store. [...]

Does the blog look a bit different to you this morning? I sure hope so! The design went live very late last night…it was quite the event. Eric had all sorts of problems with hundreds of images not transferring over, but they should be visible now. Sketchie was working until 3am on issues! If you [...]

Hey everyone! It’s Eric – Angela’s husband.  I’ve hijacked the blog to try and make a name for myself once again.  Some of you may remember my last blog hijacking post in 2009…it wasn’t pretty.  Angela has been asking me to do some guest photography posts and I usually forget how to do it by the time I get [...]

This is the first time I’ve opened my laptop in almost 4 days now, which feels like f-o-r-e-v-e-r. As much as I miss blogging, it also feels really good to disconnect once and a while! I finally found a spare moment this afternoon to go through some pictures, so here is a recap of what [...]

After spending half of the day hiking Webster and Tews falls, we rested our weary legs back at home and geared up for a second day of hiking. I threw this lovely dinner together for post-hike fuel. This salad is a potential cookbook recipe, but if it doesn’t make the cut I will certainly post [...]

This weekend Eric and I went on a hiking adventure in Hamilton with our cameras, backpacks, and tripod in tote. I totally underestimated how tiring lugging 10 pounds of camera equipment would be while fumbling all over steep trails. Somehow I didn’t wipe out despite wearing my 5 year old sneakers with the soles worn [...]

Ah, Mykonos. You wooed us with your stunning beauty, crisp white villages, artsy shops, and golden Greek men in Speedos beaches. The entire island has a really laid back and relaxed charm about it. That is, until we found ourselves driving on the roads… This below is a ‘before’ picture with our luxury rental car, [...]

Istanbul was by far one of the most memorable cities that we visited. With a population of over 13 million people, the city was bustling with life and energy everywhere we went. If I could describe the city in one word it would be: Artistic. We started off in beautiful Old Istanbul and waited in [...]
