Why I couldn’t re-read Harry Potter
Two months ago, I decided to re-read the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. I borrowed the entire series the first time I read it, (one long weekend in august I read the first 4 books, then I waited until my friends owned the next three) so none of the copies were my own. An … Continue reading Why I couldn’t re-read Harry Potter

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators (or how I cheated on the Vancouver Canucks)
My husband and I went to the Ottawa Senators in Toronto hockey game last night. Despite growing up just outside of the city, this was my first game in Toronto.

While in Vancouver, … Continue reading Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators (or how I cheated on the Vancouver Canucks)

Body Blitz: A Relaxing End to 2011
Before my move to Vancouver in 2007, my friends took me to the Body Blitz women's spa in Toronto, on Adelaide, between Bathurst and Spadina. I loved it so much, when I moved back, I used getting married as an excuse to get a bunch girls together for the chance to relax before the big … Continue reading Body Blitz: A Relaxing End to 2011
FIFA World Cup Qualifier: Canada vs St. Kitts
Tuesday, my husband, brother and I took in a game at BMO stadium at the CNE grounds in Toronto. Canada played against St. Kitts and Nevis, and had a distinctly home ice advantage. I should say home field advantage, but with dropping temperatures and increasing moisture both teams slid all over the place. It was … Continue reading FIFA World Cup Qualifier: Canada vs St. Kitts

On Saturday a couple of girlfriends and I went to the Elmwood Spa for some pampering. My friend had a mani/pedi combo the last time she was there for her wedding and said it was the best one she'd ever had! I got my very first pedicure, (the Elmline Essential Pedicure) and my pedicurist Lynd … Continue reading Pampering: Elmwood Spa
