Life continues to slowly inch its way to returning to normal, and I was so happy to have friends over to my place this month! Here’s what was going on: I almost missed PICKLING SZN because of my Wedding Cake Project and Ottawa trip at the beginning of the month, but got organized enough to......
I tried to soak up as much of summertime as I could this month, while also preserving my baking mojo for my big Wedding Cake project at the end of the month. Here’s what was happening: My co-worker and I went out for lunch at the beginning of August to Maro’s, which I forgot how......
What a time to be alive and double vaccinated! It was so fun to start hanging out with friends again IRL, and even share food! Here’s what was going on in the first month of my my post-vaxx life: My friend Jen had a few us over for a swim and patio lunch over the......
This month ended with a double vaxx and you can see how I feel about that as pictured above! Ready to have a fun summer, see my friends IRL and actually be able to eat treats together instead of dropping them on doorsteps! Here’s what led up to my second shot: My friend Erin came......

I was dealing with some work drama, and generally just annoyed by all the COVID anniversary content that was popping up everywhere (like we need to be reminded we’ve been stuck inside for one year). Luckily the month ended on a much better note with both my......
February is the worst, but I cooked, baked and blogged my way through it all and it actually seemed to fly by. Here’s what was happening: First, let’s pour one out for Dara & Erin from How to Eat! They announced at the beginning of the month that they’re winding down their blog to focus......
I think I was prepared for the worst this month with another looming lockdown and the onset of frigid weather, but I managed to make it out of January (relatively) unscathed. I blogged about an old fave, a couple of new faves, and a new project I’m excited about. Here are the other things that......
My pet peeve this month was hearing “the holidays are going to look a little different this year”. A little different? Try a whole hell of a lot different. No Christmas parties, no potlucks at work, no cookie exchanges, no fam jam, and no New Year’s Day brunch. Terrible. I tried to keep the Christmas......
