Everything you need to know about what’s coming from google

If you haven’t noticed, I like to stay in the know when it comes to the hottest trends. I buy Julio & I the best items to make our lives easier, and when it comes to mobile and home devices, I’ve loved our ongoing love affair with all things Google over the last few years. Having recently joined the #GoogleIO excitement online, I wanted to share some of the things you need to know about the items coming to Canada and why I am so excited for them!

One of The Hottest Events of 2023 in Montreal

As you know by now, it’s no shock that whenever I get the chance to pack up the car and hit the road with Julio (and Canela), I take it. While I’m still manifesting (slash hunting for the right sponsors) for a cross country RV experience, I am left excited by weekends away in just a few hours in all directions from Ottawa. With my home city of Montréal only a short 1.5ish drive from home, we are taking advantage of the food, the hotels, and most of all – the experiences that you can only get in MTL this year. Let me tell you about one of the hottest events of the year and how you can enjoy it just like we are planning to!

The Only Spring Wine Guide You’ll Need

I don’t often like to make bold overarching statements using words like favourite, best, always (or the such) because in almost every case it diminishes someone else. I guess in that way I am very much a Libra and people pleaser, not looking to rock the proverbial boat. That being said, after ten years I think I’m a little tired of corporate entities or governing organizations pushing out guides that are ultimately pay for play and have nothing to do with the hard work or incredible wine being produced in Canada. Those with marketing dollars looking to get seen and be noticed on a shelf, in a magazine, or via an article too often outshine the real stars of the Canadian wine world.

Not here, and certainly not with me. I’m about a genuine support local energy and that is why I gathered together my ultimate wine list for the spring, and I can assure you that I didn’t charge anyone to be on this list. Instead I’m sharing them because they are creating some of my absolute favourite bottles right now and if you’re a wine lover too, this is a great way to explore what Canada has to offer.
