When we bought our home in 2009, we tackled many of the main spaces... the kitchen, powder room etc, but 8 years later and our master bedroom looked the SAME as when we moved in! Even though I painted most of our home by now, the master remained untouched. Life gets busy, you know the drill. So I did my best to tell myself I was fine with the dark chocolate paint from the...

Guest post by The Conscious Taste It’s one of our favourite times of year; you know, when the leaves are changing and the air has a little chill in it.   Time to bring out the cozy sweaters and soup recipes.  We’re told that necessity is the mother of invention – so after searching high and low for a recipe that was hearty, healthy and delicious – we came up with our own.  Something creamy...

After my incredible trip this past winter storm watching in Ucluelet, I knew I wanted to come back with Terry this summer. Over the years, we've done trips to the island and we wanted to do something we've never done before. After some research, we decided to book a trip with Wild Rock Adventures! I invited my sister and her 2 kids and the 5 of us hit the road to Ukee! ^^ my...

This year we've been doing some renovations on our home and like usual, it has me browsing pinterest for inspiration. Lately I've had an obsession with lofts. I don't know if it's because they feel like a childhood tree fort, or because they are so open and airy... but they are inspiring for sure! I love the idea of an industrial loft with lots of mixed textures and neutral colours. Here's some favourites..  Images...

Being someone that works long hours from a computer, usually 6-7 days a week, I have found it very hard since starting KV Bijou to incorporate regular exercise in my life! I'm sure many of you can relate to that. With all the things that have to be done around the house or with work, it's usually me that comes last. And recently I decided that's enough! There's never actually time and to be...

Adventures and love... a few of our favourite things. This shoot by Couple of Prague was so stunning that we had to share. It's an amazing feeling to see our Lucy and Adria rings across the world, used in such a beautiful way. It's no secret that we have a love affair with the great outdoors and seeing these picturesque mountains in Austria stirred up our wanderlust for sure! The shoot took place along...

In part one, I took you through our time in Ambergris Caye, part two we went into the jungle and now for the final post-- we head to Hopkins!  Hopkins is a small coastal village located in the Stann Creek District in Belize. Home to approximately 1000 villagers, it's a tiny yet vibrant town that was recently voted as the "friendliest village in Belize." As soon as you meet a local from Hopkins, you'll...

In the first part of our Belize Travel Guide, we shared our experience traveling around the cayes off the coast of Belize. Belize is such a diverse country with so many unique landscapes and this is partially why we decided to head into the jungle. Not as many tourists take their time to head into central Belize towards San Ignacio, but we were certainly glad we did!  San Ignacio is located right on the...

Four years ago, my first Mother’s Day was spent picking out a black dress to wear to my sons funeral. His name was Zachary, he was our first born and his burial was the day after mother’s day. I was a first time mom, recovering from an emergency c-section, stumbling through stores trying to find a black dress in the spring time. Something, anything, that would fit my new postpartum body. As horrific as...
