Happy New Years {Eve}!
In our home, New Years was always full of traditions including grapes, champagne, a great dinner and family. As I’ve gotten older I have added some of my own traditions to this special day and though I like to think that one day we will have fantastic New Years parties to go to one day, I am also incredibly content with my stay-in-surrounded-by-family tradition.
Two thousand and thirteen was a fantastic year for us; we celebrated our one year of marriage, we went on the road and explored the friendly and low-key east coast of Canada, we made a big move to the city, we adopted Talulah and Ernie into our family and we baked, cooked and ate our way through many delicious recipes and restaurants. I hope that you have had a lovely year of moments that strengthened you, made you cry and made you laugh. I look forward to seeing what two thousand fourteen has in store for all of us!
{I felt giddy and overwhelmed when I had the chance to visit Shakespeare’s Globe – I wanted to take in all that this gorgeous and unique theater has to offer.}
{The Tower of London}
{Stonehenge}
{The architecture and history in the city and surrounding areas are truly astounding. I often caught myself staring wide-eyed and imagining what the world was like so many years ago when those structures were first erected *does anyone else do this?*. The photo above is from one of the oldest Roman bath houses in the world in a town called Bath.}

{The unique Christmas decorations on Carnaby street are so incredibly cute that I bumped into quite a few people while walking since I could not stop from gawking up at the gorgeous little birds!}
{London’s Christmas market on Hide Park is quite literally a winter wonderland. You can’t really go wrong with a combination of rustic cabin bars, amusement park rides, hearty food and twinkling lights}
{Notting Hill inspired me to paint my future home blue & red and to always make time for tea-time}
