    Wolfhead Distillery’s Strawberrylicious Festival & Julien’s House Charity

    Wolfhead Distillery’s Strawberrylicious Festival & Julien’s House Charity

    You know summer is coming in the Essex County, Ontario (YQG) area when we start thinking/talking about strawberries. But this year we have a new event strawberry event to look forward to.
    Wolfhead Distillery in Amherstburg, Ontario is putting on a Strawberrylicious Festival June 1st. Wolfhead is introducing their new Strawberry Gin. (I have tried it, and it is really good!) There are also a few other special Strawberry themed beverages and food so listen in! Although we are highlighting their new gin, check them out, because they have a really great selection of spirits as well.

    I am also talking with the Lauren & Courtney from Julien’s House, a local charity that proceeds from the Strawberrylicious Festival is going to. Incase you have not heard of Julien’s House, it is a welcoming place where people dealing with grief can go to for support and understanding.

    Instagram’s “So Cool Local” Supports Local Everywhere She Goes

    Instagram’s “So Cool Local” Supports Local Everywhere She Goes

    Marija & I had a great time chatting about our love of supporting local. Shopping in small hometown stores, eating in local restaurants, and everything we can do to make sure that our communities are taken care of.
    From following local businesses on social media and sharing their posts to attending markets and events, every little bit helps.

    And while we are at it, try to keep the local love mentality when you travel. Check out small local businesses instead of chain stores & restaurants. It really does make your trips more special when you discover those hidden gems.1

    Parenting, poop & poetry with Mom Said Duck

    Poop - check
    Tantrums - check
    Being a parent we deal with this and more. But Jill Moysiuk from Mom Said Duck has put a good spin on it. She creates wonderful poems that sums up everything we all feel when it comes to not only parenting but adulting as well. It's also nice to know that we are not alone on this journey and can laugh about it instead of crying.
