A long weekend in Muskoka

Winter is usually a time for hibernation; asides from the somewhat-annual snowboarding trip or visit to the skating rink, we tend to keep our activities indoors after the Christmas season.

Hygge, and other fuzzy feelings

The halfway point of February marks Valentine's Day, and in delayed celebration of that, I thought I would share some thoughts, things, and places that give me the warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

What could give me the warm fuzzies more than Tofu?

A weekend at Blue

I think we had been floating the idea of an overnight trip to Blue Mountain since high school.... well, it finally happened!

Wintered

February always feels like the midst of an unending winter with the bitter cold and dirty snowbanks. I actually enjoy snow and winter sports, but the grey skies definitely make it harder to keep a cheery attitude on the daily. Fighting the winter blues has always been an ongoing struggle, but I have noticed a few things that have made a positive difference over the last few years.

Looking forward to summer might not always be easy, but making plans for weekend trips or vacation always gives me something to look forward to. Plans for warmer weather such as beach days, camping trips, or hikes. Making vacation plans in the winter also allows for ample time for planning - it also gives me greater incentive to watch my spending in order to budget for travelling.
