Let It Snow!

Spring is my favourite season. There's something about the smell of dog poop thawing that assures me summer is just around the corner. However, I have to admit, today's snowfall created a winter wonderland so beautiful - you just couldn't help wanting to be out in it.

Milano's

It's been snowing since last night, but that didn't stop us from seeking out a great place to have brunch on this beautiful Sunday morning. Milano's on Chebucto Road serves brunch now - and it was well worth trudging through the snow for. The Chef's specialty today was a delicious lobster, asparagus and brie fritatta, with oven roasted potatoes and a beautiful salad of greens, carmelized onions, cranberries and a sprinkling of nuts - drizzled in a warm balsamic vinaigrette. Yum! It was a perfect start to the day.

Welcome!

Being self-employed eats up a lot of time and energy, and being a Holistic Nutritional Consultant means I have to look after myself physically and emotionally. I'm always striving to bring more balance to my life. I created this blog to help make that happen. My Dad taught me to knit and play the accordion when I was ten years old - and although instructions for both were very basic, and my first few projects and tunes were pretty scarey, I was inspired to practice and improve - well... with the knitting anyway. I'm always up for a challenge and over the years I've knit everything from mittens and socks, to detailed sweaters and lace. Knitting, more so than accordion music gives me such a sense of calm. It's truly meditative for me. Thank you Dad!
