| Perfect blogging breakfast at one of my favourite local coffee shops, featuring an incredible meal of toasted cranberry focaccia and brie + an incredibly strong coffee. Mmmm... :) |
 |
| Sadie, looking pretty as always :) |
 |
| My crazy desk calendar in May. Things really do get more bizarre each month, and I love it! |
 |
| Went to the Royal Ontario Museum (the ROM, full of natural history, art, and ancient artifacts) and what do I take a photo of? Cleopatra doing her makeup. Of course ;) |
 |
| I also managed to get a shot of this breath-taking totem poll, reaching 4 stories in height |
 |
| Base of the totem poll; this dude is serious! |
 |
| Blogging over breakfast, part 2. Veggie omelette and a mocha coconut latte. Heavenly! |
 |
| Sleepy Sadie. Zzzzzz... |
 |
| My sister's bachelorette party was in May, hosted by our lovely friend who planned the whole thing! These are the adorable gift bags she put together for us. |
 |
| My sister and I at her bachelorette party. I'm closing my eyes, but love the shot anyways! Notice the table covered in amazing snacks! |
 |
| My sister's wedding colour was teal (the shade of the bridesmaids dresses), so our friend baked an ombre cake with the colour scheme. Delicious and beautiful! |
 |
| We played Cards Against Humanity, which is wickedly naughty and incredibly fun. This was my starting hand, which makes me laugh every time! Luckily nothing too inappropriate! :) |
 |
| Made dinner with a friend a few weeks ago; the starter was a mixed green salad with apple and pomegranate. So yummy, especially when paired with a 10% IPA! |
 |
| Sadie's way of telling me that I've been travelling too much and that she wants to come with me next time ;) |
 |
| The sky was just too gorgeous, had to snap a photo! |
 |
| An outdoor, unplugged concert in Trinity Bellwoods park on a gorgeous weekend afternoon! |
 |
| Sculptures in Nathan Phillips Square by renowned Chinese artist Ai WeiWei |
 |
| Each sculpture is a sign of the Chinese Zodiac! |
 |
| My Chinese sign is the Pig! Here he is, looking particularly smiley! |
 |
| Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder... June :) |
That's it! The summer has really gotten off to a fun start; here's hoping July and August are equally spectacular!
