Realizing that I miss the simple things

I’m going to be really honest with you. I am too busy for my own good lately and feel as though I am running from one thing to another without stopping to appreciate things as much as I could be. I miss the ability to focus on a moment and really appreciate the simple things.  I need those moments again to offer some perspective. Like enjoying a meal without stopping to share it on social media. Or taking a photo and holding it in my hands. It’s why I wanted to share this post with you all in partnership with HP Canada. Why I am going to refocus and really enjoy simple moments like the #HPLifeMoments we recently shared.  Continue reading “Realizing that I miss the simple things”

Experiencing Halifax in the best way possible

For those of you who follow along with Julio & I on social media, you’ll have seen that in partnership with Marriott International and Marriott Traveler, we recently took a trip to Halifax. I also realized that this marked a trip to both the east and west coast of Canada as we continue to #TravelWithMarriottCanada. That’s a huge accomplishment for us, and with so many beautiful cities and properties to visit, we couldn’t be more proud to continue to share our adventures with you. Stay tuned as Catherine continues to share her west coast experiences on the blog soon! And of course, in case you wanted to see the blog post I wrote for Marriott Traveler, click here. I wanted to share some of my favourite moments from the trip and why I think that all Canadians should experience Halifax for themselves this year! Did I also mention that there’s an amazing contest that you can enter to experience a similar trip for yourself? I’ve got all the details for you!  Continue reading “Experiencing Halifax in the best way possible”

Summer ready with some of our favourite #CanadianCheese

When it comes to #Canada150 celebrations taking place across the country with our team, chances are there is probably delicious food involved. Since I am in full menu planning mode with Catherine this week for our celebrations with friends and family, I thought it would be fun to partner with The Dairy Farmers of Canada to share a cross-country tour of Canada with some of our favourite Canadian cheeses that you can impress your guests with this summer. Because what better way to celebrate being Canadian this summer than with #CanadianCheese!  Continue reading “Summer ready with some of our favourite #CanadianCheese”
