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 week the hubs and I were invited by the iYellow Wine Club to attend a night of discovering (and learning about!) Wine and Whisky. However, given that the hubs and I have recently been escaping for date nights a bit too frequently (and I really couldn’t ask my brother to watch them twice in a week!!), […]
This weekend we had a glorious time in Niagara on the Lake as we helped test run my parent’s soon to be open B&B. We had the most gorgeous weather we’ve had to date this year and our weekend was filled with blue skies, green grass and 25 C days. While we did lounge around quite […]
Nothing signals the arrival of spring than the Niagara region’s wine tours! You may recall that last year a few girl friends and I explored the Twenty Valley area on a new wine tour. That was our first year exploring the Jordan area wineries as part of a passport program and I knew we had […]
Last month I shared our enthusiasm over the roof top being open and we’ve made it up there for quite a few meals. I made a big batch of those burgers and the pineapple rings have become my favourites! One of the reasons I love the summer so much is that the hubs does all […]
I know it seems like I’ve been talking about wine tours for a good while now, what can I say. It’s hard not to share wine and food love. The hubs and I have been participating in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s May wine tour for the last 8 years and this year they had re-branded the event and […]
Last month I told you all about the Get Fresh in Niagara’s 20 Valley region and this past weekend that’s where I was. Without the family! Yup. Just me and some of my girls…no diapers, baby bottles or soother in sight. Being away from Baby Boy for over 11 hours wasn’t too bad and I […]
Spring is here! You know how I know? One of my favourite wine tours is back! It’s time for me to share all about Sip & Sizzle and we’ve got a giveaway! Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries host a food and wine pairing tour each May that is by far my favourite of all the wine events we […]
We’ve been in dire need of a date night and the Good Food & Drink Festival was the perfect excuse to sneak away from Baby Boy and Little Monkey. It had been a challenging week for us with many tantrums and crying sessions so we were looking forward to a few baby free hours. I’m […]
If you haven’t heard about Get Fresh in the Valley or Twenty Valley it’s with reason. Twenty Valley, located an hour from Toronto, is one of Ontario’s wine regions that many may not have heard about. Yes it is in the Niagara area but it isn’t Niagara on the Lake. Get Fresh in the Valley […]
