Travel & Lifestyle | Why we said goodbye to wedding stress & were ready to #SayHelloToLove

As 2015 comes to an end, I am looking back on some of my favourite moments. It’s been an incredible year and one that has taught me a lot about myself and the life I have created. I quit my job to become a full time blogger. I broke into the UK with Brittany and Nicola as an international blog. I found inspiration in watching family and close friends find themselves. But I have to be selfish and say that my favourite moment of 2015 was when I finally married Julio on a beach in the Dominican Republic after months of keeping it top secret. Along with Booking Hello and Catalonia Hotels & Resorts, we were able to create the perfect destination wedding and want you to know that in our opinion, it’s the best way to get married.

Food & Wine | A little #MommyKnowHow goes a long way

I’m sitting here giggling to myself as I write this blog post, because I am NOT a mommy. Recently DoTheDaniel.com was invited to an informative breakfast by The Egg Farmers of Canada here in Toronto. As my resident mommy expert, Amanda was unfortunately not able to join so I decided to attend in her place. Sitting around a table at Colette Grand Café as the only man, I quickly learnt that a little #MommyKnowHow goes a long way. We enjoyed a delicious meal and an engaging conversation about the myths surrounding feeding eggs to our babies. Come and see the facts about eggs, babies and what it means in an age of ever increasing allergies for our little ones.  Continue reading “Food & Wine | A little #MommyKnowHow goes a long way”

Travel & Lifestyle | The best way to welcome baby with Etsy Canada

For those of you who follow along on social media (@DoTheDaniel btw), you’ll have noticed that I recently became an uncle. My baby brother & his beautiful wife gave birth to their first born and the whole family couldn’t be happier to welcome baby Rebecca! I of course immediately started planning for baby gifts that would be both practical for first time parents but also beautiful for my niece. There are so many choices out there, from toys, booties, even a baby casting voucher which would have let them make a mold of the baby’s feet to keep forever. Although this would have been really cute, from what I’ve heard, the baby is quite fussy and probably would enjoy having to stay still for the mold. I decided to keep looking. I wanted to find items that would be useful but lovely for the new baby to have, so I checked out a list of the best baby products online to see what I could get and where I could get them from, I was in need of a lot of help in that department because you never know just what they like, but reviews from actual parents who have tried and tested them have helped so much.

When faced with buying baby essentials, be they for your own little ones or the additions via family and friends, I asked myself… did I have to settle on going to the big box baby stores? The answer is no. Thanks to Etsy Canada, I was able to create a parcel of baby must haves that are not only unique, but also support local businesses.
