I hope you all had a fantastic week. Mine was great – filled with excellent live music and meeting lots of new people. On Tuesday, I went to see one of my favourite bands – Hey Ocean! They are an energetic and insanely talented band from British Colombia. Their new single Big Blue Wave is beyond catchy. Be sure to check it out :) Wednesday, I attended the first Manitoba Food Bloggers meet & greet. I met some wonderful people including Elaina from Flavour Food & Wine and Natasha from VIMWAC (Vegetarian in Winnipeg Without A Clue). Be sure to check out their blogs for fantastic recipes and photography.
Also this week, I discovered that a truly lovely individual nominated The Fig Tree for a Homie for best food photography on a blog. I want to thank this person – you made my week! I also want to thank everyone who voted for me. I believe voting ends at midnight tonight. So, if you have a moment & the inclination, please vote for me here.
And finally, this week I would like to share a blog I’ve been loving lately. Allison at Live It.Love It. Blog It recently went to Antarctica and blogged about all of her adventures whilst there. I enjoyed reading about her trip so much. The photos are beyond stunning and her stories so full of passion and energy. Her posts on all her travels are truly inspiring. Reading about her tales of 10 days in the Antarctic has made me reconsider the dreams I had written off as impossible or improbable. I also really love reading her updates on her “30 Before 30” list. I love reading about other people’s goals & the progress they are making. Be sure to check out her posts on her trip to Antarctica. You will not be disappointed! She got to play with baby penguins in the wild. Enough said! :)
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! What are your plans? I’ll be back on Sunday with a post on a delicious blueberry almond tart I made this past week.
Thanks for the Link Love Courtney! Those soups look absolutely perfect for the grey, rainy weekend ahead. :)
Happy weekend!
You are most welcome :) I love West Coast Nest. I definitely agree. Winnipeg is getting a crazy amount of snow today and the wind is gusting like crazy. The weather was my inspiration for today’s collection of soup links. I was originally going to do spring-inspired links. *HAH* A little too soon I think!
First up – congrats on the homie nomination! That’s a pretty huge deal – and well deserved – your food photography is amazing!
Second, thanks for all your super sweet words, one of the very best parts of blogging for me is meeting new people and finding new awesome blogs, like yours :)
XO
Thank you so much Allison! I was tickled pink when I saw I got an nomination :) Felt like a million bucks. *hehe* I may or may not have done a happy dance around the living room. *hah*
You are most welcome. I love reading your blog. I am also turning 30 this year and I find your “30 Before 30” so inspiring. I am so glad to have found your blog & happy you like mine too. Hugs! :)
Thanks for the mention Courtney, it was oh so lovely to finally meet you on Wednesday night. Just as sweet in person as I suspected x
Awe, thank you Elaina :) It was wonderful to meet you too! You are just as lovely as I expected too. Loved chatting with you! xoxo
