Save the Date – Fraser Valley Blogathon 2010

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

In 2009 I participated in Blogathon, a 24 hour blogging ‘marathon’ that sees bloggers writing new posts every 30 minutes from 6AM through 6AM the following day.  Why? For charity of course!  I collected donations to benefit the Langley Animal Shelter Society.

The 2010 Blogathon in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley will be held on August 21, 2010 at 6AM (until 6AM August 22nd).  I will be hosting an on-location event here in the Fraser Valley, while Rebecca & Raul will once again be organizing an awesome Vancouver location for anyone on that side of the bridge :)

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Frosting Cupcakery in Langley celebrated their 1st anniversary celebration this weekend and we were thrilled to be invited to attend.  We set up our Pulse Faves game and had lots of willing participants.  Since the theme of the day was obviously cupcakes, we asked guests to share their favourite Frosting Cupcakery cupcake flavours.  We’re not sure all of these actually are flavours offered by Frosting, but we love the enthusiasm and sweet answers from some of the kids!

Boonie’s BBQ & Soul Food

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

This morning I was chatting with a client who recommended a great new BBQ restaurant.  I just happened to be free for lunch and in the area, so I stopped by Boonie’s BBQ & Soul Food to check it out.

It’s a fairly unassuming location inside of the Quality Inn Hotel beside Home Depot in Langley, definitely a hidden gem. The special of the day was catfish nuggets, which sounded interesting. All I could smell was a deep smokey goodness, which I knew had to be ribs – so I ordered myself a half rack with two sides.  Choosing the sides was quite the task: coleslaw, collard greens, real southern mac ‘n cheese, seasoned fries – how can you choose?

Service was swift and before we knew it, two mouth watering dishes arrived on our table.
