It’s been a whole two weeks of back to school now and I’m loving the more predictable routine. More so since this has been an eventful summer for us. We traveled to India to visit family and friends. We were away for about 5 weeks and while the vacation was absolutely fun, it wasn’t without the post-holiday crash and burn that international travel entails. India was, as always, crazy and chaotic in a good way. Every day was enjoyable and… Read more »

Snapshots
Fast forwarding through my camera roll seems to be the only way to play catchup! Because, October is here! As I flipped the calendar to a new month, I realized that so many events and life changes have taken place this year. Time to pause and reflect and document these memories. After all, the best thing about memories is making them. I’ve got some lovely, cozy things on my needles. I’ll post more… Read more »
Turning The Page
Well, hello there! Did you have a good summer? I had a great summer and although I didn’t intend it, I took an extended break from blogging and crafting. I wanted to catch up with my blog friends and even document my summer shenanigans here, but the past few months just whizzed by and here we are… September! September always feels like the New Year to me! With the carefree days of summer behind us and the kids back in school, it’s time to turn… Read more »
Summer’s End
It’s hard to switch gears from the pace of summer vacation to back-to-school mode, but such is life and it’s got to be done! We had a splendid time visiting the Oregon coast and it was one of the most memorable holidays we’ve had so far. Of course, we took thousands of pictures but don’t worry, I’ll only share a few 😉 The Oregon coastline is one of the most spectacular driving routes in North America. As we passed sandy beaches, majestic cliffs, gigantic windswept boulders and lighthouses, it… Read more »
San Francisco
Ah, June’s here already. As cliché as it sounds, where has the time gone!! Last month was busy and this month is promising to be even more so. Vineet and I went away for a few days to San Francisco. It was wonderful and we loved the city. The sights were amazing and both of us being foodies, we thoroughly enjoyed many culinary delights. So. Much. Eating!!! San Francisco is all hills, most of them face-plant steep! Look at the street… Read more »
#touristinmytown
This post brought to you via iPhoneography 🙂 The kids have been on spring break the past two weeks, so it’s been a wonderful time of relaxing and sleeping in 🙂 Monday, is back to school for one last term which is always the busiest one. This lull before the storm was nice! We went on a mini vacation over the weekend, back to the Okanagan Valley. The landscape was such a contrast to how we remember it from the… Read more »
There And Back
We’re back home from our travels and are more or less or settled in. With the start of a fresh new year; like most everyone; I’ve embraced the idea of a clean slate providing a launchpad for brand new ideas and a renewed focus. Over the next few days, I will share the projects I have finished but didn’t get a chance to blog about before 2013 drew to a close. But today, some snapshots of our recent holiday to… Read more »
Summer Style
Hello lovely people! We’ve been back from our summer vacation in the Okanagan Valley for a few days now and things have eased back into the lazy, lovely summer-style schedule. Perfect! Time away in the valley means many, many dips in the lake and awesome sunsets. Plenty of delicious samplings :: wine, artisan cheeses and breads. Very yummy! And, fruit… oh, the fruit!! Also, we’re big fans of summer oatmeal. Usually, we throw the refrigerated mush in the blender for a breakfast… Read more »
Purl
Remember I told you that during all of our travels this summer I visited only one yarn store? It’s true! I just had to pop into Purl Soho while we were in New York 🙂 The staff are really friendly and welcoming. I did alright with my yarn diet and came away with only two skeins of Anzula For Better or Worsted in the “Juniper” colorway. No pattern in mind yet. For now, I just like petting the squishy, luxurious yarn!
New York, New York
5 days of amazing! It’s hard not to constantly look upwards… …and spot something very interesting! A city with so much history and well-loved by all. In fond remembrance. The view from above is just as breathtaking This city is also about people. Contrary to popular belief, New Yorkers are super friendly and helpful. And the food… oh my!! We were too busy eating to pause for picture-taking. It was too hot to drink soup in New York, we did… Read more »
