As a local and major foodie, here are all my restaurant recommendations for Kelowna, BC!Kelowna has such a vibrant food and wine scene, and I am grateful to have so many great eateries in my backyard. I’ve rounded up some of my favourite places to eat at (I will make sure to keep adding to the list!), with a little something for everybody. Enjoy!My favourite little eatery is Roma Nord. Italian owners Danilo and Angela (she does the cooking) are hard-working, kind, and the very best hosts.

Reading to, and eventually with, our children has always been a priority to me. Cuddling up with them in bed with a story is my favourite time of the day. Here are my top kids books to build your own libraries, or for the perfect gift for that little someone. Beyond the irreplaceable bonding time, there are many benefits to reading with your kids. Establishing the habit and love of reading is powerful.
