There’s always an open invitation for friends and family to join them any weekend. This…

Photo courtesy of Edith Jenkinson Photography I made the bouquet for both of our weddings (yes, we had two ceremonies). On the day of our first wedding, I threw together a bouquet. Admittedly, it’s probably not the best idea to do this on the actual day of your wedding; however, if you have time a day or two before your ceremony and you can keep the bouquet cold, go for it. A refrigerator works great for keeping the flowers cool, as long as it doesn’t get too cold. I do have a a cousin whose flowers arrived frozen hours before the ceremony,…

One Souvenir I Always Buy On Vacation
This tradition started with Joyce, my friend’s mom. She always had tons of magnets. I’m not talking the insurance promotion magnet or the freebies from the dentist. Joyce had good magnets. Pretty magnets. Mostly of Labrador pups, her favorite breed. I was always in awe of those magnets. Her daughter, my friend, had started the tradition of buying magnets from the places she visited and I’ve followed suit. We’ve been friends since we were three years old. I don’t think she was surprised I took on the tradition. We’re as close as sisters and what sister doesn’t borrow a good idea from…

My favourite part of a wedding is those thoughtful touches. They can be big or small, regardless of size though, they are always memorable.

My Husband And How It All Started
My husband flipped my world upside down in the best possible ways. Do you know the three loves theory? Here’s my rough take on it. You will fall in love with three people in your life. The first love is what I’d call a blind love. It’s the love that you convince yourself is picture perfect, even though, it might not feel quite right. It’s what you think love is. The second love is hard love. A love that breaks you. It’s a love that teaches you the tough lessons. It’s manipulative and destructive. Your third love is easy. It’s the love…
