Family Lifestyle | It’s Tea Time!

When I think of fall, I think of beautiful colours, falling leaves, pumpkins, sweaters and tea! I’ve never been a coffee drinker. I know what you’re thinking, how did I survive the newborn years (yes, I said years haha) without coffee?! Honestly, I don’t have a clue! One of the bonuses that has come from not drinking coffee though is that I don’t have any stained teeth. My friend is a frequent drinker of coffee and unfortunately, she has a couple of stained teeth which she now feels insecure about. Luckily for her, she has recently visited this Dentist in Newmarket and has booked herself in for a teeth whitening service so hopefully, she will get her old smile back soon. And this is one of the many reasons why I don’t drink coffee. But, I drink tea in the same way others drink coffee! I love sitting down to a cup of hot tea to warm up, start my day or after a long day to unwind (chai is my favourite!). When I discovered DAVIDsTEA a few years back it was life changing! For you coffee drinkers there have always been a plethora (my $25 word of the day) of flavours and blends to choose from, but tea has always been sort of basic. DAVIDsTEA is like a heaven for tea lovers, there are sooo many different options and flavours it’s almost impossible to decide!

Family Lifestyle | #EtsyMadeInCanada – Ottawa

I think I’m still feeling a high from the Ottawa event last Saturday! On September 27th, in cities all across Canada, Etsy held a one of a kind event showcasing local talents. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend in Ottawa, which lucky for me happened to be the largest one! With 158 vendors listed to be showcased, I knew I was in for a FUN morning! I wanted to make sure I got there nice and early so that I could see all that the vendors had to offer. When I arrived at 9am, there was ALREADY a line AROUND THE BUILDING! Such an awesome turn out to support our local community and vendors. I walked in and my eyes went EVERYWHERE! I saw sooo much pretty! I knew I wanted to find some especially unique items that I could feature just for you in case you didn’t have a chance to attend! Here, in no particular order, are some of my favourites!
