Wow…I only posted once between Feburary’s ‘That Looks Tempting’ and today’s…and I didn’t even write it! Now it’s suddenly a week into March and I need to get my temptations out to you! I would be pleased if time would slow down just a little. Wouldn’t you?

Some of my most popular posts have been the short ones where I dole out snippets of info for to consume without spending too much time reading through long blog posts. With that in mind, I’m starting a new monthly feature called” That Look’s Tempting”.

I don’t know about your Instagram feed…but mine is crammed full of suggested posts about food. Truth be told, it has sucked me right in. I’m not a great cook, heck I’m hardly a good cook and I attribute it to the fact that…

I know it’s time to do a gift guide when I get the text “do you know where I can get….”. This year for Valentine’s Day I’ve pulled together a few sweet suggestions that I hope will make the day special for your love, your friends and family - because love should be shared by all.

always have a little bonus up my sleeve - this year it’s a Shop Indigenous mini guide. With the help of my friend Tabatha Bull, CEO of the Canadian Council of Aboriginal Business and member of the Nippising First Nation - we’ve come up with some great suggestions on how you can support Indigenous owned businesses this holiday seasons and everyday.
Have you checked out any of the suggestions in this year’s Gift Guide yet? If you have, why not pop a comment below and tell me what you think? Tell me what you bought and whether you had it delivered or took advantage of curb side pick up.
You’re cutting it tight if you haven’t started your shopping yet, but I trust that most of my readers are already sitting back and relaxing with a good book, podcast and glass of wine. But just in case you’re looking of a fab bottle to take to the family dinner on Christmas day, might I suggest my current favourite;
One of my favourite wineries in the Niagara region is the 13th St. Winery. Their modern farmhouse buildings containing the tasting bar & wine boutique and farmhouse bakery have me visiting each time I’m in town for a couple of bottles of their famous ‘Burger Blend’ wines.
Right now at this moment I’m struggling whether to post this today or wait until it’s almost too late to do any more shopping. Oh well…I suppose on Day Twenty Four there will be booze. Today it’s pizza, and other amazing Italian food. Easily giftable, right? Now it is.
If you remember back to Day One, I sent you out into the woods to make your own charcuterie board. Well today I’ll stick with the charcuterie theme and share with you one of the best gifts I’ve ever received - the Wildly Delicious Cheese Knife Set.
One of my favourite trips of 2019 was my ‘bff’s’ trip to Prince Edward County. I love spending time in ‘the county.’ Whether it’s exploring the many emerging wineries, lounging in the sand at Sandbanks or noshing at one of the counties amazing restaurants, PEC is at the top of my list for a weekend getaway.
If you’re attending holiday parties this season, it’s a nice touch to bring the host or host’s a small gift of thanks. Generally we bring a bottle of wine - which is lovely, but it’s also a nice touch to mix things up a bit an bring the host’s something different.
