Tea Parties are for Kids, Right?
My love of tea parties and fine china teacups began as a six year old aspiring princess, huddled around a make shift table sipping imaginary tea and eating imaginary scones with my friends (the human, stuffed/plastic, and imaginary kind). This was a serious affair. Choosing the friends to invite, and those that would have to watch from the sidelines (my baby brother and dolls with choppy haircuts and missing limbs). Setting the table with hand picked daisies, and risking life and limb to reach the coveted china teacups stored out of reach of my six-year-old hands.
Christmas Inspirations 2019
For as long as we can remember it has been a tradition of ours to gather with good friends and family on Christmas Eve to celebrate the holiday season. This goes way back to our teenage years when an annual trip to Uncle Art and Aunt Billie’s house was the main attraction. There was always a huge pot of homemade chili on the stove, as well as a lot of laughs.

Stofa – August 2019
Experience Rating:
4.7/5
I had the opportunity to visit Stofa restaurant with my family for a second time in August to celebrate my 50th birthday. Once again, the restaurant – ranked #2 on the 2019 Top Ten Best New Restaurants List from Ottawa Magazine – didn’t fail to impress.
