If you follow me on facebook you’ll remember I posted a few pics from Magenta Photo Studio a while back.  A new one just opened up in Chinook Mall and they offered us a complimentary shoot to try out their services so I took them up on it.  I’m glad we went.  It was an [...]

Today I met Calgary’s amazing and talented Rose Sen who crafted the birthday cake for the 100th Celebration of Oreo.  Rose is incredibly passionate about what she does and revels in not only the creative side of cake making but in the technical side too.  This particular design is chocolate cake and chocolate ganache on [...]

We’ve gone to this fantastic Heritage Park event two years running now and I’m so excited to be going again this year.  Last year, Baby N was pretty small…this year, he’s going to recognize Thomas from TV and he’s going to freak out…in a good way I hope This event sells out every year so [...]

Family Day always sneaks up on me.  I always forget about it!  Each year I feel like I’ve wasted a chance to do something memorable and fun with the kids and part of that is how this particular holiday falls in February.  Nobody’s hosting Family Day bbq’s or long weekend camp outs.

Two of my favorite Calgary Events are happening this month.  My only wish is that they will someday, combine the two and I can sit around listening to amazing authors read from their books with a glass of Shiraz in my hand!  If I could find two events that were more perfect, more delicious and [...]

Normally when I write about an event I try to post ahead of time so you can make plans to attend.  This time however, we decided to go last minute and so, I’m afraid you’ll have to put it on your calander for next year and make sure you don’t miss it because Baconfest Canada [...]
