Our Toronto Vacation Continued…

Published on August 31, 2015

Well, hello there! If you noticed I took a break two weeks into our vacation, you’d be right. I realized there was just too much going on and in the interest of doing justice to this blog, and in my newly-resolved effort to live mindfully, I needed to experience moments as they happened in real time and not worry about documenting every single second for social media. It’s a fine line, isn’t it, especially as a blogger who is, well, a little addicted to social media, I admit. In the end, I’m glad I chose that route because although I missed my blog, the benefit of being present with my loved ones was so much greater. All too soon, that time passed and I’m back and feeling refreshed and isn’t that the best ever? Before I get back into regularly scheduled blogging, I thought I’d do a quick round up of our vacation photos and fill you in on everything that’s been going on.

In a nutshell, Toronto was wonderful. We spent an amazing weekend at the cottage, reconnected with our family and best friends, did quite a bit of shopping (of course), and just generally tried to take it easy but also soak up every single minute of our vacation time, if that makes sense? Luckily, our flight back was nothing like our flight there so we ended our time off on a high note.

Without further ado, here are some photos of the best of our times in Toronto. As always, follow me on Instagram @sofreshandsochic for daily updates.

There was lots of pool time at Grandma's house.

And before we knew it, five weeks had come and gone in a heartbeat and we were on our way home with a ridiculous amount of luggage!

Until next time,

DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and if I focus on Pippa, I can ignore the fact that the kids’ room hasn’t looked this tidy in weeks. Is it just me or is cleaning basically a waste of time during the holidays/pandemic?? 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️ It literally never stays clean! They’re home ALL the time. My mom is very proud of me right now, I’m sure. 😆 #sofreshmyhome
SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase to remember 2020 by it would be “Sharp contrasts”. We had our fair share of hard to believe moments and lots of jagged peaks and dips. BUT 2021 promises to be an entirely new chapter and I can’t wait to share everything with you soon! Happy New Year, friends! In the Year That Felt Like 10 Years, can you believe we finally made it to the end?? 😱🥳👏🏼#sofreshmyhome #greenrooms
WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall preten WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall pretend Andrew lounges on this work chair with a leopard print throw artfully draped across his legs. 🤣 But seriously tho, having this cabinet to style has been so much fun whenever our bedroom needs a little pick-me-up! #sofreshmyhome

FLASHBACK TO... // The days when the dining table FLASHBACK TO... // The days when the dining table was for actual eating and styling and not for remote schooling, bags of school supplies, and the occasional cat. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 How is your work/school-at-home space looking right now? #sofreshmyhome
WEEK 2 of the ORC // While we haven’t started an WEEK 2 of the ORC // While we haven’t started any kind of reno yet (the plan is to start this coming week!), lots of exciting things have happened in the powder room nonetheless. For one, the @luluandgeorgia rug has been ordered as has the stunning @sandbergwallpaper roll. Also, this beautiful gold hanger arrived from @hmhome and I’m definitely fitting it into the scheme. Mainly tho, I decided to use another piece of art from the amazing @atticapress and I am extremely excited to see this all come together! 🙌🏼😍 #oneroomchallenge #bhgorc @oneroomchallenge @betterhomesandgardens #sofreshmyhome
CANT DO IT // Not gonna lie, I’m having a real h CANT DO IT // Not gonna lie, I’m having a real hard time switching up this mantel decor. Every time I look at it, it brings my monochrome-loving heart so.much.joy! 😍 #sofreshmyhome
FLASHBACK FRI // Not only am I really missing havi FLASHBACK FRI // Not only am I really missing having a rug in here altho not missing this exact rug 🤣, I’m also really missing having this tree all alive and stuff, you know? It’s got guts, I won’t lie. It’s hanging on. But it is also looking very grim. 🤦🏻‍♀️ If I ever write a book, it’ll be called Plants: WTF? 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ #sofreshmyhome

IT’S TIME! // I kinda can’t believe I’m doin IT’S TIME! // I kinda can’t believe I’m doing my first ever One Room Challenge! Eek! I am so excited! 👏🏼 This Powder Room Moodboard saw some major changes today as per usual haha. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 I’m very much a go-with-your-gut designer and my journey usually involves creating a board based on a mood and then veering off the path completely as I experiment and chase ideas, and then, happily, coming right back to the feel I started out with. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ For this powder room, my inspo was heavily driven by my beloved Scandinavian design, this time veering into Swedish country house territory. Think thoughtful wallpaper and desaturated colours and of course a graphic pop because it is, after all, still my home. 😀 I can’t honestly say how the finished room will look- no doubt some things will change along the way (possibly the lighting? 🤔) but this is what’s in my head right now and I hope I can make it happen! 😍 The blog post with aaalll the details will be up tomorrow! 👉🏼 Now tell me what you think! #oneroomchallenge @oneroomchallenge @betterhomesandgardens #bhgorc
CHALLENGING TIMES AHEAD! // This is the face of a CHALLENGING TIMES AHEAD! // This is the face of a cat who has zero effs to give about the @oneroomchallenge unlike ME who signed up and is ready to makeover... our powder room!! 👏🏼🎉 Remember when I asked y’all to vote in my Stories? Well, our bedroom and the powder room were miles ahead in the poll AND tied, so it just came down to good old time and money. I can’t wait! I’m loving my moodboard and I think you will too! 😀🤟🏼 #sofreshmyhome #navyblueandprettytoo
