This week is going to be quiet here at C+H because Jennifer and I are both enjoying some summer vacation time!

Jenn is off gallivanting around Europe (Paris, Rome and the Amalfi Coast, Barcelona!) with her husband, while my family and I will be significantly less glamorous as we hang out by the campfire in the Rockies. This is Jenn’s first trip overseas and I am so happy that she is taking the opportunity to explore. A well-deserved adventure for them, and I can’t wait to hear all about it when she gets back (oh my, I do miss Paris!!).

We are taking our oldest out of school and heading to the campground for what may be our last mountain camping adventure for a few years. We’ve decided to take a leap and tackle an opportunity that came up earlier this spring which means moving our family back to southern Ontario from central Alberta. Not a small undertaking (2 vehicles, 5th wheel, 2 kids, 2 cats and a dog… not to mention far too much IKEA furniture!!), but we’re working hard behind the scenes to pull it off and hoping it all comes together!

So, we’re taking a little break this week and will be back next week with plenty more fantastic Canadian creativity.

Hope summer has arrived, wherever you are!

Update: So far, we’ve had 24 hours of rain in the Rocky Mountain foothills, but we did get to watch a Mama Moose and her 1 week old twin babies roam around our campsite for an hour this morning :)
