Happy 2016: a holiday snapshot

Categories Little Things8 Comments on Happy 2016: a holiday snapshot

I’m a little tardy with this post, but happy 2016!

I hope you all had a nice holiday; I sure did. My Christmas Eve was filled with family, and as per tradition, a gift exchange with my cousin, Judy. It was a very Elf and One Direction-filled afternoon!

My Christmas and New Year’s was filled with warmth and lasting memories, including a HUGE surprise from my cousin – who came home from the Yukon for the holidays! (I will soon be there for a visit! Six weeks and counting)

And, I celebrated my 28th birthday last week at Cinderella: The Musical at the Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto. WAIT, though. That wasn’t the end of birthday celebrations; I had a intimate dinner with my friends at the beautiful Waterfront Bistro in Pickering.

So, here’s to the new year! I see great things on the horizon. Three incredible trips are planned: Yukon, Norway/Sweden, and Iceland, and I will find even more local adventure with the boy I met 13 years ago; the boy who has come back into my life in the most unexpected way. I’m looking forward to what this year will bring.

My Story

My name is Emily and I started this blog in early 2011 (under a different name). Over this time, I have travelled most of Canada and parts of Europe, and have fulfilled many dreams – everything from helicopter reporting to skydiving (twice)!

These are my tiny stories, perhaps insignificant on the world stage, but defining in my life. I invite you to join me and read some of my little adventures.
