We also have a few birthdays to celebrate and as you will notice, we accomplished one of my bucket list items already!

7th Anniversary- Kingston Style

We celebrated our 7th anniversary in Kingston and decided to try out The Rustic Spud. If you're in this area I would definitely recommend it!

We both ordered garden salads and then shared these ponados. Yum!


For our main courses Dan ordered veal. He enjoyed it but we both agreed that my main course is a must try! I ordered sweet potato gnocchi. Omg! So good!


Our actual anniversary falls tomorrow on July 4th but between highway drives and soccer we knew we couldn't squeeze a dinner out too.

Happy 7 years love bug!

  • We went to Math night at St. Matthew School.
  • I had a massage! Thank you Amy!
  • My friend and co-worker E finished up her LTO at our school so we went out for dinner to say good-bye.
  • We travelled to Ottawa for some family time on the March break. We had dinner with Nana and Robbie, went to Skyzone, went for a public swim, had lunch out and lots of playtime. So much fun! We also stopped in Kingston each way so we also visited with Nanna, Nonno, Tina Mike and the Vicentes. Whew!
