Last fall, nearing the end of our main floor renovation, we decided to get away. After months of dust, noise, long hours, scheduling conflicts and decision-making overload, we simply needed a break from it all. Been there? One of our go-to cities for extended weekend trips is Vancouver. It’s a short flight from where we […]
Decorating Crush: California Style
Hello there! Did you miss me? If you follow along on Instagram, then you know I was in southern California for a bit of a birthday getaway. My husband went earlier for business, and I decided I could use a little warm weather and a break from the everyday, so I flew down and met […]
The Satori Blog Turns 3!
Happy Friday friends! I’ve been playing catch up this week after my trip to Blogpodium (more on that to come) and an extended weekend at Niagara on the Lake. I figured if I was going to travel across the country for a one-day conference, I may as well see some of the countryside. If you’ve […]
Birthday Getaway
Hello! It has been a bit of a whirl wind this month, and I must apologize for the scattered posts. As many of you know, it took me a couple of weeks to recuperate from a terrible flu I had over Christmas. That meant delaying project plans and so much more. On Thursday, I had […]

I’m so glad the weather finally turned around as I was starting to worry whether I’d finally get enough light to take […]
Displaying Vacation Mementos
For every family vacation we have taken, we always try to have something tangible in our home that represents the experience. A photograph, shell, rock or other object may seem insignificant, but looking at these objects seems to take us back to these joyful moments in our lives. Having these mementos displayed throughout our home […]
Back From Our Family Vacation
Hello everyone! I’m a bit sad our family vacation in Mexico came to an end, but I’m happy to reconnect with all of you. It’s probably a good thing it was only one week because I was getting a little too comfortable with everything being done for me (I wouldn’t want to turn into a […]
Time to Refresh
Yesterday was Family Day in Alberta, and as mentioned on Friday, we extended it to be a bit of a family week. Because my husband travels A LOT for work, we really wanted to spend some quality time together in a hot destination soaking up the sun (we are from Canada after all), sipping a […]
