I’ve arrived back in Toronto – and it feels great to be back! The best part about being home with friends and family is the feeling like you never left and picking up exactly where we left off. There is something so amazing, reviving, and beautiful about coming back to my roots and spending quality time with the ones I love. Since coming back it has been nonstop busy and I am loving every minute of it. Currently, I’m in New York State for a girls shopping weekend away with my mom and grandma – it’s beautiful here 🙂

Ideally, I like to go home to Canada twice a year, once over the winter holidays and once during summer. This translates to a lot of international flights and travelling for me. I actually love the whole experience of travelling from enjoying the atmosphere of the airport, walking around and browsing the shops, and being in a place with people from around the world – their paths crossing for a brief instant during their travel journeys. I must not be the only one out there who likes to sit down and ‘people watch’.

Chopped up Fresh Veggies:

Glo Bars (Homemade/Store bought granola bars):

Trail Mix:

This crumble looks so good and I am loving the fact that you used maple syrup!!
All those snacks look so good! I love that they are healthy!!!! 🙂
Thanks!!! They sure were yummy!!
I like making my own trail mix with nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate 🙂 And I try to always have a granola bar in my purse, traveling or not!
Your version of trail mix sounds fantastic – everything tastes better with chocolate!! Haha, you are right – Granola bars in purses are mandatory!! 🙂
Cool ideas. How long are you staying in Canada? Enjoy your vacations!
Thanks Ilona! I am staying here till Mid August! Thanks! How long are you in Europe for? 🙂
I am in Europe for three months, I will come back to Canada in the end of August:)
