My anniversary gift from Yashy this year involved an evening away from the kids to attend ShakesBeer at Wychwood Barns in Toronto. Given the fitting title of the show, I hardly need to provide too many details on the overall theme of the production, and so let me guide you through our night at this […]
Last week we took full advantage of my brother being back in town (after 6 months of travelling around in South America) and escaped for a date night. I didn’t even think about leaving any rules or worrying about diaper changes because I was sure my brother could figure things out. Much to the dismay […]
Last month on St. Patrick’s Day weekend (when the kids were whisked away for the entire weekend by my parents!!) we ended up at East Thirty-Six randomly. After a day spent by the water drinking Jameson at the epic Amsterdam Brewhouse party, the hubs and I along with two of our guy friends were eager […]
When we were visiting friends in NYC they had mentioned how we should see a play called DISGRACED and as things unfolded, we never did end up watching it. Then I noticed that DISGRACED was in Toronto! I knew we had to make a date night out of it and not only did the hubs and I […]
It’s the best of times for beer drinkers in Toronto, and better times lie ahead. With the recent announcements that former Dieu du Ciel Brewmaster, Luc Lafontaine, is going to open up a brew pub on the east end and that the owners of beer Mecca Bar Volo plan on opening a new bar in […]
I had been hankering to visit Smoque N Bones ever since they opened in spring of 2014 but despite having won a platter through one of their Instagram contests, I wasn’t able to pop by until this past December. The main reason for the delay was because I was informed that the 35 seat eatery […]
It was one lazy day with no kids at home (they were packed off to my parents’ place a couple days earlier than the hubs and I) when the hubs asked what we should do for dinner. With no tiny tots to trapeze after, we decided to try out a new sushi spot we’d been […]
Last Saturday the hubs and I left the kids with my parents and went out on our fourth annual 12 pubs of Christmas! I’m glad that our friends are into maintaining this tradition with as much gusto as we have and it’s my way of really getting into the holiday spirit. Last year we explored […]
Every once in a while we need to escape the kids and run away… we REALLY TRULY DO! Luckily for us we had this chance when my work Christmas party was being hosted at the Delta Toronto. While taking a staycation isn’t always my idea of “travelling”, I must admit that it makes for an […]
It has been AGES since we last hired a sitter and that isn’t because we haven’t gone out without the kids, but mainly because we’ve had family and friends in town who have been able to watch the kids for us. Lately that number has been dwindling and we found ourselves with two events happening […]
