Summer To Do List (STDL)
Considering this will be the last summer I will check “single” when I file my taxes, I thought it would be fun to make this summer extra fun, extra special and extra cool.

HOLIDAYS
Happy New Years from San Marco
Last year, while ringing in #2014 on a sandy beach in Mexico, I vowed to you all (and myself) that I would never spend another countdown in cold (and boring) Calgary, and I held true to my promise. This year, my fiancée and I donned ornate masks, grabbed mini champagne bottles and waited patiently with …
Presents in Freistaat Thüringen
Have you ever experienced a moment so serene, so picturesque, so perfect that its inception seems utterly orchestrated? You have to stop and wonder; where is the art director hiding? Because this is too special, too amazing, too heartfelt? Words cannot describe driving to our German (second) home from our niece’s, pulling up to the …
Baby-Weihnachts
No amount of gifts, champagne and picture-perfect Instagram moments compares to the joy of a child at Christmas, especially when that child is your doll-like niece.

Imagine live music, the smell of spiced wine, the sights of hand-made Christmas ornaments, the pitter-patter of horse carriages, and the sound of Christmas …

December is always so magical for …
Northern Lights Christmas Party
One thing is certain, my company certainly knows how to throw a bangin’ party. Still recovering from the weekend’s festivities and not regretting a single thing. Ballerina’s serenaded a candy bar which descended from the top of a giant Christmas tree – I mean come on. Best party ever.
Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!
To be honest, I’ve always related with Charlie Brown; my last name is Charles, and I am in fact brown .. but truth be told, when I first moved to Canada with my family, Charlie Brown’s Christmas Specials were a large part of my North-American-Christmas socialization. So when I realized that these iconic trees were …
