Hello Canada! Here we are, in another amazing city, piggybacking off Greg’s work conference to fit in a small family vacation in a city I’ve never been!! Earlier this year, Greg found out he had to attend an IB Conference in Toronto and Tay and I immediately planned on tagging along. I have never been … More Oh Canada!- Toronto (Day 1)
A few years ago my parents bought Greg and me a smoker for the holidays and I immediately fell in love. What is better than smoked meats? I’ll fill you in- very few things! When we went mostly vegetarian, I thought my days of smoked meats were over, until I discovered smoked salmon. Smoked salmon … More Smoked Salmon
Happy Friday!!! You have made it to the end of the week!!! Sometimes that’s a huge feat in itself- so celebrate it. I broke down and got some coordinated bedding this week for our master bedroom.

After the day at Lake Mary- we decided to just bum around town for a day. We spent some time playing at he parks, mountain bike riding, and just being campfire bums. One thing that needed to be done was a trip to Mammoth Brewing Company. Their beer is so good and the atmosphere for … More Day Trippin’ – Mammoth Lakes (Part 2)
