After a season change, my body always asks for a reset.
After a season change, my body always asks for a reset.
Not anything extreme.
Just something simple to reduce inflammation and feel lighter again.
Years ago, a friend introduced me to a recipe from Haylie Pomroy —
and one thing stuck with me: the iburn soup.
It’s basic.
Water, fresh lemon, parsley, celery seed, a touch of cayenne.
When I first tried it?
Let’s just say it wasn’t love at first sip.
But now?
It feels like a gentle reboot.
Three glasses a day for a few days —
nothing dramatic,
just intentional.
For me, the start of a new season isn’t about restriction.
It’s about awareness.
About listening to what my body needs.
Do you have a simple reset ritual after travel or holidays?
I’d love to hear what works for you.

What These Real Estate Trends Mean for Fort Erie Buyers and Sellers
The latest data suggests several important trends in the Fort Erie and Niagara real estate markets.
First, sales activity increased in February after a slower winter period.
Second, prices have remained relatively stable in Fort Erie compared to some surrounding municipalities.
Third, year-over-year data shows modest declines in both prices and sales volume.
For buyers, this environment can provide:
- Greater choice of properties
- More negotiating leverage
- Stable pricing conditions
For sellers, pricing strategy remains critical.
Homes positioned correctly within the market range tend to generate stronger buyer interest.
Monitoring Niagara real estate statistics, title searches, and property due diligence tools remains essential for anyone entering the market in 2026.
Have you ever chosen a wine just because the bottle caught your eye?
Have you ever chosen a wine just because t
he bottle caught your eye? 
Last Saturday, we had friends over for dinner,
and they brought the most beautiful bottle of wine.
It honestly looked more like a piece of art —
something you’d set out as a vase.
It stayed with me.
So here I am at The Hare Wine Co. in Niagara-on-the-Lake,
tracking it down and learning a little more about it.
There’s something interesting about how a simple detail —
like the look of a bottle —
can lead you somewhere new.
A visit.
A tasting.
A different experience than you expected.
Sometimes that’s how the best spots are discovered.
Do you ever pick a wine for the label…
or are you strictly about what’s inside the bottle?
I’d love to hear.

Do you ever discover a place… through a cocktail? 🍸
Do you ever discover a place… through a cocktail? 🍸
This week’s Thirsty Thursday took me down a bit of a rabbit hole.
I’ve been looking at where Alex and I might sneak away to this spring —
something quick, easy… before boating season starts.
Somehow that led me to Nantucket,
and from there to CRU on the wharf —
and their cucumber cocktail.
Fresh cucumber, muddled.
Vodka.
Lime.
Simple syrup.
A splash of soda.
CRUCUMBER Cocktails.
That’s it.
Crisp. Clean. Light.
Exactly the kind of drink that makes you think of warmer days ahead.
It’s funny how something so simple
can shift your mood a little —
from mid-March… to somewhere by the water.
For now, we’ll bring a little bit of that feeling home.
Are you someone who plans trips… or discovers them along the way like this?
👇 I’d love to hear.
