Butterblume is one cool concept. It’s a restaurant, cafe and floral boutique all under one open space. While in Montreal, my husband and I visited this place for brunch. We sat at the bar and had a clear view of the chefs prepping magic. The ingredients are fresh and simple yet what’s on your plate … More BUTTERBLUME
We recently did something quite crazy but clever. We dropped the kiddos off at my parents’ place for almost a whole month of summer. Some call us brave, I say we are just absolutely exhausted and needed a break. Zoey is almost six and Axel just turned three so our hands are full, every single … More LOV, A Botanical Kitchen in Montreal
Hello! Hope everyone had a GREAT Mother’s Day yesterday! I couldn’t ask for a more perfect day. My request was to take a one day family trip to a nearby town- just the three of us. Daddy made it happen and it was very special. We headed to this tiny town of Exeter in New … More Mother’s Day 2013
To all you ladies (& gents) who are tea lovers and can appreciate dainty pretty pastries, you’ll enjoy this 2nd installment of Birthday Tea. An afternoon filled with sisterly chit chat over yummy delights spent with my youngest sister (for her B-day) and my sis in law at the Taj Boston. Purely a gal gathering … More Birthday Tea (Pt 2)
Hello! Hope everyone’s enjoying your weekend. Yesterday, after a disappointing lunch (for me), we headed over to Flour Bakery & Cafe in Fort Point Channel for a tea break. It was relaxing and yummy. Totally made up for my not-so-satisfying lunch. Here are some quick rushed snapshots taken by my phone. Pictures are blurry and not … More Smell The Flour
My husband and I have just a handful of places that we go religiously to satisfy our cravings. And believe it or not, none of them are fancy schmancy restaurants. We don’t go to restaurants for their aesthetics, or to impress each other, or to get to know each other. After so many yrs together, … More Great Taste Bakery
Here it is, this post is a sequel to the previous post, Leopard & Booties. As previously mentioned, I was going to do a post on what fun things we did in our stylish outfits! So, we started the day off w/ brunch at Champagne, a French Bakery Cafe in Irvine (I think). Outside weather … More Fun in the Sun
Time flies. Each day I feel time starved. May is an extremely busy traveling mth for us- all exciting, family fun trips but will still be exhausting I’m sure especially w/ a 9 mth old (!). The cruise count down has begun! We are heading to Miami this weekend and taking my parents, Zoey, my … More Tuesday Afternoon
Good Morning! My husband and I had a recent conversation about taking Zoey to Europe hopefully this September (when she can finally walk, fingers crossed!). This reminded me of our honeymoon visit to Tuscany + Florence. Yes, Tuscany is really that beautiful + serene! The rolling hills, olive trees, vineyards, etc. etc. etc. Just gorgeous!! … More Tuscany & Florence
Just want to share a collection of shots that were taken over the weekend. Isn’t kinda interesting to see life through someone else’s lens? Interesting entryways. Zoey’s facial expression is priceless. Red Velvet cupcake w/ cream cheese frosting. I’m making myself salivate! Apple spiced. Daddy holding Z at church. Playing w/ mommy’s hand. Playing w/ … More Random Musings
Japadog, yes the term is kinda self explanatory. It’s a Japanese embellished hotdog! We caught this street food vendor right in front of our place, The Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver. The name sounded interesting and we are all about trying street foods. I wish there were more where I live. They usually have the … More JAPADOG
During our stay in Vancouver… After a super disappointing dinner at a sushi restaurant (this is why it’s better to make your own at home!) we were dying to find a place to splurge on desserts hoping to make up a bad dining night. I suggested somewhere French. As we stopped at a red light, … More Cafe Regalade
For those of you who are a bit more daring, this is a great mid day snack. I surely thoroughly enjoyed it! Duck mousse is made out of duck liver, similar to chicken pate, except for duck mouse sounds and tastes much fancier. Add truffles to them and they are a bite of heaven. Slather … More Duck Mousse w/ Truffles
