The BestOf Both
Simcoe Turns One
Last weekend, this not-so-little pup turned one! We threw him a last-minute lunch with our family, which included some sushi take-out and of course, a dog-friendly peanut butter birthday cake from Three Dogs Bakery. Our go-to sushi take-out is Sushi California on Broadway. We’ve eaten here multiple times and keep finding our way back. Some …
Quarry Rock Hike
Romel and I ventured off to North Vancouver with Simcoe for his first hike ever at Quarry Rock earlier this month. Before coming to Simcoe’s first hike, we’ve had a few reservations about taking this pup on a hike… If you have yet to meet Simcoe, you should know that: (1) he eats anything + …
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES…
Hi everyone! After disappearing for a few years, we have finally decided to return to blogging (and with a new domain and design!) Looking back at our previous posts, we really appreciated having a place to collect memories + photos (especially embarrassing outfit ones like this). Our hope is to continue to use the blog …
Jenn Weds Roms
So… a lot has changed since we last updated the blog. We kinda sorta got married! It all happened on our sixth anniversary, January 3, 2015, in Vancouver, to be exact. We like to joke around that it was a destination wedding… for the both of us! Romel flew in on the 18th of December, …
YVR to YYZ

The Best of Both started in 2012 as a blog of a boy and a girl with a wide variety of interests, from fashion and video games to biochemistry and computer science. The blog was a medium to challenge each other to be creative, share their ideas + perspectives, and capture their adventures.
A couple of years later, life happened – they got engaged, he moved to San Francisco, she moved to Toronto, and they got married in Vancouver somewhere in between. After months of traveling back + forth, he moved to Toronto, where she stayed up late listening to Counterstrike strats and he unwillingly participated in Saturday morning cleaning. Fast forward, they had many more adventures, got a puppy named Simcoe (the name of the street of their Toronto home), and shipped all of their things across the country (i.e. his board games + collectibles, her textbooks + shoes).
