When you give birth to something you are passionate about, building, nurturing it, and shaping it to follow a vision is a labour of love. Labour and love being the key words. When you publicly attach your name to it and throw it out into the world and are a recovering perfectionist like I am, [...]

What Happens When You Plan a Food Blogging Conference…
It’s been quiet around these parts lately, I know. Even when I’ve posted it’s been sadly lacking in photography tips and tutorials and such. But, there’s good reason behind it. You see, we’re putting on a conference. A food blogging conference. Canada’s first national food blogging conference. FBC2013 from Food Bloggers of Canada. When I [...]
Girls get it done
Below is a rambling of thoughts – this does not relate to food. It’s just reflections on this past week that I needed to write down. Read it at your own risk. Friday is the third birthday of my business. January 18th, 2010, I woke up for the first time since I was 16 years [...]
Old Out, New In
2012 has left the building. At first, I wasn’t very sad about that thought. It wasn’t a horrible year by any stretch. But it wasn’t a stand out either. It felt very… bleah. I don’t usually do recap posts (and this isn’t one either!) but I toyed with the idea of picking 12 of my [...]
Behind the Scenes With Eat Street TV and Soho Road
Sometimes, as bloggers, we get some pretty cool opportunities presented to us that give us a chance to take part in something we might not otherwise ever get to do. I am, what I would consider to be, a very niche food blogger, as many of us are. My posts are about figuring out how [...]
The One About Dogs, Not Food
It’s past 1am and I can’t sleep. I’ve been lying in bed crying and words are all jumbled up in my head and I have to write them down. Just over an hour ago I was reading about yet another friend who suddenly had to say goodbye to their furry dog companion. There seems to [...]
Burn Out Bright
I’ve just been in a funk the last week. Post show let down I think. Missing my friends who it feels like I haven’t seen in forever and like my last post hinted… feeling very disconnected from the real world. Last night I was looking for some old episodes of Las Vegas I thought I [...]
Food Bloggers: We’re Not That Big of a Deal
I spent the last week in Ottawa closing up the biggest project by far, of my year. I worked with an amazing technical crew that works with me on this project every year. It was a year of hard work in the making. There were a few arguments, some raised voices on occasion, frustrations, crossed [...]
Confessions
Lately, things seem to be very repetitive out in the blogosphere and life in general. This is my tongue in cheek (for the most part) commentary on it. The photos are totally unrelated. They’re just photos I’ve taken that I love. I think I may be the only food blogger on the planet who [...]
That’s What Friends Are For & Merry Christmas!!
Every Thursday morning I pack Sam up into the truck and we head out for the beach. Sometimes we go to lonesome Mud Bay – a 17km path along the Pacific (we don’t do the whole 17km!). Sometimes, we head to Blackie Spit/Crescent Beach which teams with people through the summer and is empty in [...]
