Weekend Links
by Aimee
In case you were wondering, today is Saturday.
We’ve got a slow weekend at home ahead, puttering in the yard and cooking more comfort food.
I hope you’re able to sit with a second cup of coffee and do a little reading.
I’ve rounded up some of my favourite articles and recipes from the web that I’ve collected over the past few weeks. Don’t worry, it’s not all pandemic related!
Read on for those picks and don’t miss my tips for a date night in at the end of the post.

Friendly reminder to date your partner once in a while even though we’re sheltering in place together. For us, it means feeding our three kids early, then letting them max out on screen time while we connect over drinks & nibbles.
Other days, we banish them outside around 5pm as we unwind with a Montreal inspired ‘cinq à sept’ (happy hour). Whatever it takes, right? Add music, candles….a clean shirt… you do you!
Seriously though, I miss restaurants SO much – and it actually helps a bit to fake a date night in at home. How are you coping with the whole lockdown or quarantine life 24/7?
PS. Drinks here are just a classic gin & tonic with lime, but lately I’ve been dropping in a few frozen blackberries. Pretty and delicious. Follow me on Instagram for more inspiration.
Happy Weekend, friends.
