Travel: Granville Island Public Market
Granville Island is a delightful place to spend a few days. From the walkability to the market, you could stay on this peninsula that’s about 35 acres for an entire weekend and have everything you need.

Project: Plants 5.0
Plants! Plants 5.0 – that’s right, I’ve shared a few plant updates over the years, yet not in the last 4 years or so. While we have a handful of new ones, some of our old-timey ones are doing great. We lost our original fire-stick during our second floor reno, yet got it replaced recent and that cacti is doing well in our home. All in all, plants are fantastic! They add dimension, add character, and add in a whole lot of life. Okay, let’s…
