A Week in Portugal

Here it is! A *short* video of what we did, ate and learned in Portugal. I've been promising this vlog to my Insta-fam for the last couple of weeks, and finally wrapped it up. There was so many hours of footage that I had to filter through and compile into less than 20 minutes.

Feeling Uninspired? Visit Europe For a Few Days

After pinning Portugal-related things and researching its culture for the last couple of years, I spontaneously booked a flight for two to Lisbon one afternoon.

As much as James and I enjoy exploring the city, checking out Toronto's hottest restaurants or going to a show/movie, we are complete homebodies at heart.

Lately we've both been traveling quite a bit, sometimes with conflicting schedules. Being at home and coming up with quick, in-the-moment "date night" ideas has become our thing! Here are some ways we've been spending quality time together, while being relaxed, stress-free and comfortable.

We’re in the middle of a fresh new season and I always find this time of the year to be inspiring because you get to embrace spring cleaning.
