Today’s the day I celebrate the birth of the human being physically responsible for bringing me into this world. I always make it a point to ensure that birthdays are celebrated and the birthday person feels special and loved. It seems the older you get, the less people tend to celebrate (and I guess people …
To be honest, I’ve always related with Charlie Brown; my last name is Charles, and I am in fact brown .. but truth be told, when I first moved to Canada with my family, Charlie Brown’s Christmas Specials were a large part of my North-American-Christmas socialization. So when I realized that these iconic trees were …
When I posted a month ago about it being 365 days, I just published the post and went about my day. But today, when the grand event is eleven months away, a real excitement has set in. Less then a year from now, it’s all going to unfold. We sat down today and compiled our …
Selfie taken in Prague, Czech Republic (October 2013) Its pretty scary that every day that I get old, those age-old (what I thought were) clichés are proving to be truer and realer.

As mentioned on here before, we had the privilege of attending five weddings this year! Of them, three of them were in the Fall and all of the brides were absolutely beautiful. Last night was the last of our wedding festivities for this year. As patriarchal and commercial as weddings are, I am proud of …
Do you ever have those moments where you look around and everything seems so still? Everything seems staged, photographed, maybe drawn? It seems like for that moment, the world is still and everything around you is working (or not working) in unison to provide the absolute perfect moment for your eyes, your ears, your skin …
It was strange to spend the long weekend in the city. It definitely provided a lot of pub-brunch opportunities though, and wonderful moments to connect with my favourite people. I always forget just how glorious a long weekend really is when you wake up in the same bed over and over but don’t have to …
Source: Houzz.com Any of you who know us, know that we have been feverishly trying to style our new home and prepare for an imminent house warming.
