On a sunny day like today, there is no other place for me. And on all those other rainy, dirty, sexy, edgy, friendly, funky, wet and oh-so-yummy days, I still love you Vancouver. Love Lucie PS. Thanks to @sonsryan for sharing! xox

Whistler: home of the 2010 Winter Olympics and many happy cougars!
Born and raised on the West Coast, Whistler feels like my backyard. I had my first kiss on a chairlift and the good times on the mountain haven’t ever stopped. I’ve rung in countless new years up there and had my bachelorette party there too. Anniversaries, family vacations, friends weddings, ski trips – the reasons…
Warning: Cougars headed your way!
For about 360 days of the year, I am a quinoa-eating, hot yoga loving, green tea sipping, play-date organizing, kid chauffeuring, nutrition packing momma. But once or twice a year, my girlfriends and I hit the road, leaving the hubbies and the kids to fend for themselves for 48-72 hours. It’s glorious – the freedom…
I hate sick days, but I fear the stink eye more
I hate it when my kids are sick. Sneezes spewing germs invade my personal space, juice from their little noses running right into their mouths, whimpering complaints of being too hot, too cold, with matching tummy and ear aches. I want to scream Calgon, take me away! And to top it all off, they don’t…
S&M and Women in Music
I’m a Top 40 girl, always have been. I lived for those noon-hour sock-hops in high school, and still, I love to dance the night away. Music played an enormous part in my emotional & social development. Despite the “no boyfriends, no makeup, no parties” rules my Tiger parents enforced, being able to discuss the…
Put your own oxygen mask on first
Back in the day when I was an Aeroplan Super Elite flyer, I strolled purposefully through airports, my rolling luggage wheels whirring behind me, trench coat flapping madly in my wake. Fellow passengers travelling with small children were to be avoided at all costs – I would board long after them and sit as far…
I ♥ Shoppers Drug Mart
It’s as predictable as a rainy winter in Vancouver – the month of January is known as belt-tightening season at our house. Over indulgence with loved ones during the holiday season always leaves me with a thicker middle and a lighter wallet. So each January 1, I dive into the new year with the optimism…
Lovelucie.com
53 posts in just over two years. A high of 255 site visits in just one day, and a low of 0. I’m not exactly posting the stats of a game winning season here, no Super Bowl Trophy or Math medal for me. Not yet, anyways. With 8 months left in this social writing experiment…
Oh my God, I won!
I was a bit of a dorky kid – the chubby eldest daughter of immigrant parents (they adhered to the carrot & wooden spoon approach to parenting way before Amy Chua was even born) – no boyfriends, no sleepovers, no team sports. True to stereotype, I played piano for YEARS (even though I hated it…
My Poker Face
I know I’m not alone when I say my husband plays Poker with the Guys, and he has done so (sporadically) for as long as I’ve known him. He leaves the house with a wallet full of twenties and more often than not, returns quietly late in the night, slipping sheepishly into bed. If his…
