Christina and I are strong believers that romance doesn’t have to rely on big gestures or extravagant gifts. In fact, it shouldn’t.

On this page, you’ll find how we find romance in the everyday with lifestyle stories, handy gift guides and a few things that bring us joy.

It’s been a while since our last Weekly Edition – mostly because we haven’t really been doing much! But we’ve put together a few highlights from the past month or so that Christina and I have been in lockdown.  This Weekly Edition has some great meal ideas if you’re running short of new things to

As we all watch this incredible scenario play out, it’s safe to say that no one can really believe the far-reaching effects of this pandemic. Loss of life and livelihood are everywhere. It’s up to all of us to help stop the spread of Covid-19. People like those in the healthcare industry are doing an
