Runs on Coffee and Cream: sunset

Winter showed up pretty abruptly over the last couple of weeks. We went from gorgeous yellow trees to bare trees in a matter of a couple of days. I have found out that raking leaves is one of my least favourite chores.

Fall is great for all the yummy limited edition food!

Bath and Body Works is my weakness all year round but their cold-weather scents (pumpkin, apple, peppermint) are my absolute favourite.

I finally purchased Movie Night tea from Davids Tea and I love it!

Coffee all the time to keep me warm.

Smoothie from Tutti Fruitti

Sour Pumpkin Saison that was so tasty!

Now that fall is over I'm officially in the holiday spirit! My house is almost completely decorated for Christmas, a good chunk of my gifts have been purchased, and I'm starting my baking list this week to plan out all the holiday cookies I want to bake.

How's November been treating you?

Camping Adventures

Wednesday, 6 July 2016

Last week we headed to Algonquin Park for a 5-day camping long weekend. We went back to Pog Lake Campground (where we camped last year). It was a great time and I fell even more in love with this area of Ontario. It's absolutely gorgeous there and pictures don't do it justice. We went on a couple of hikes, sat around the fire, looked at the night sky (the Milky Way was visible two of the nights), and played board games.

I apologize in advance for the amount of photos but it was hard to narrow down which ones I wanted to share.

We celebrated my birthday early there,so there was cake!

This view is a 10 minute walk from our campsite. It's incredible.

Dragonflies were everywhere!

Mr. Frog.

Cider and Pop 5!

Maple Cookie S'mores.

Reese Peanut Butter Cup S'mores.

Oreo S'mores.

Beaver Dam.

Mr. Beaver.

Mommy duck and baby.

More cider.

If you ever get the chance to visit any part of Algonquin Park, I cannot recommend it enough!! I'm already looking forward to next year's camping trip.

Summer doesn't technically begin until next week, but it already feels like Summer. It's been hot and sunny and we've been trying to get outside a lot.

I found a place downtown that makes bubble tea and they have so many flavours and options! Both Adam and myself got ours with jelly.

I say it every year, but I need to spend more time at Bell Park this Summer. It's my favourite place in the city.

The s'mores frappuccino is back at Starbucks and it's still amazing!

Cotton candy sunsets are one of my favourite things about this time of year.

So we found a groundhog in our yard a couple weeks ago. It was kind of crazy and he was pretty big. Thankfully we haven't seem him since.

Seymore enjoying his sunny spot.

Logan can't keep his eyes open when I take a picture with the flash on. It's the most adorable thing.

I'm pretty excited for Summer to officially start, are you?

October is going by way too fast but looking back at pictures, it's been an enjoyable month so far.

I've been baking like crazy lately and I've whipped up a few different zucchini breads with the zucchini we grew in our garden. This one is an apple zucchini loaf and it turned out so moist.

We tried out a new frozen yogurt place when we were visiting a different city recently. Apparently Menchie's is a chain but we've never heard of it before. Their flavour options were amazing and it's easily my favourite frozen yogurt bar now. They even had a pumpkin spice flavour.

An amazing friend I chat with on Twitter, sent me this Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte mix... oh man, it's SO good! I've been pacing myself because I could easily drink it all in a couple of days. Canada really, really needs Trader Joe's.

I've been reading through a ton of comics lately. I'm going to share some of my new favourites later this week.

We had a gorgeous drive one day that we went out of town. The sun was out and the sky was so blue. I've learnt to love these giant rock walls that are everywhere here. Ignore the inside of the car reflections in these pictures...
