This is the second in our new regular blog series, Our Top 10 Favourite Things. Just a little window to help you get to know us better! Remember, we love to hear from you! Share your favourite things here in the comments section or on social media!
1. Favourite thing to do on a weekend:
“First, sleep in, but not too much. Because the second thing I like to do is enjoy at least two cups of coffee with my husband while we plan our day. Third, I love taking our two monster dogs for off-leash romps.”
2. Favourite thing to do at home:
“Watch a movie with the whole family or enjoy a guilty-pleasure movie all by myself (usually romcoms that elicit groans from the family).”
3. Favourite snack:
“Too many to count or choose and these are completely dependent on mood! If I had to pick, kettle corn would be up there, along with Miss Vickie’s Black Pepper and Lime chips and homemade peanut butter cookies.”
4. Favourite beverage:
“Coffee, since it a) manages to get me out of bed every morning and b) keeps me from leaving behind a trail of bodies. But never after noon! Unless I happen to be visiting DNA and get one of Maria’s cappuccinos!”
5. Favourite movie or TV show:
“I recently went through a period of watching a whole bunch of British TV series, which were fantastic! In no particular order I highly recommend ‘The Fall,’ ‘Happy Valley,’ and ‘Broadchurch’. I also enjoy the Danish show ‘Borgen’ and the Scandinavian show ‘The Bridge.’”
6. Favourite bands:
“I am too mercurial to commit but I do like the current trend of folksy bands like Mumford & Sons and Fleet Foxes.”
7. Favourite book (or magazine):
“I prefer news magazines or science magazines like Psychology Today. For the longest time I re-read Jane Eyre every few years. Currently making my way through Game of Thrones (I love saying, “You know nothing, John Snow”). My favourite book growing up was Lord of the Rings.”
8. Favourite time of year:
“What’s with all the making choices of this list?! If Winter were only three months long that would be my choice, especially since I learned how to ski a few years ago and think it’s a hoot. I love summer, unless it’s too hot, which in Toronto it often is.”
9. Favourite piece of clothing:
“Always a Fall coat, paired with leather boots and a thick, cozy scarf!!”
10. Favourite type of vacation:
“No surprise, I have two so I try to combine them as often as possible: seaside, beach vacations and sightseeing, exploring vacations, which is why our recent trip to Costa Rica was perfect! Favourite city to visit is Paris. I’ve been too many times to count and wish I could go every year!”
