The Fall Starter Guide: Men's Edition


I have to start this post off by saying that you should in no way take this too seriously. Out of the two of us, Anthie is by far the better dresser. I am the lazier one and now that I'm working at home, it's ten times worse.

I'm a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl out of necessity more than anything. It makes it easy for me to dress it up for a client meeting in a coffee shop and still be able to run over to the farm later in the afternoon and roll around in the dirt if I have to. What I'm trying to get at is that even though this post is geared towards guys, I can tell you I have pretty much own this outfit ten times over and it allows me to be casual as possible.

Fall-ing into a New Season

Fall is a “love it or hate it” kind of thing. You can pretend that you like pumpkin spice lattes, or that you spend your Saturday evenings walking through the river valley admiring the gorgeous yellow, orange, and red leaves, but you can’t fool us fall-lovers; we know your commitment truly lies elsewhere in the seasons.

Sour Cherry Gin Fizz

Summer is long gone and the breeze blowing around has been getting colder and colder every day. But a girl can dream, we're trying to make the most of the few warm days we have left around here. Sour cherries are something that come around here in August and with my backyard overflowing with them, I find myself putting these ubiquitous little gems into everything. 
One of my favourite things to do is make a sour cherry gin fizz, it's super tart and refreshing and just the lil kick of sunshine I need to salute these unusually warm October days goodbye.

Getting Crafty with Pumpkins

October is the only month of the year where you get to be crafty with pumpkins. Every year when you look for pumpkin carving ideas, you always come across the same ones that are way more difficult than you want to admit, and when you attempt to carve out your masterpiece all you end up with is a gaping hole in your pumpkin because you cut the wrong portion out… or maybe that’s just me?

Edmonton Corn Maze

Since graduating from University this past June, I have become quite the shameless homebody and workaholic. Between a jam-packed work schedule and all the other minute things that seem to throw me distract me on a daily basis, spontaneous adventures do not seem to come along too often. Go figure! When we were brainstorming places to go in Edmonton, the Corn Maze was somewhere we both had loved but have not been to in years. Also I found out they had a petting zoo…so obviously we had no choice but to go.
