OUR HAPPY PLACE

 Ever since we moved to Québec city, four years agod, Saint Jean de l'Ile d'Orléans has been our happy place. It's where we got married and where we go to unwind. We like to read on the beach, eat local strawberries and forget everything else. This week we introduced Billie to the beach for the first time, and she adored it. It was definitely a memory I will cherish forever. Summer time, you are my favorite! Virginie xo

MULAN

Last week was ruff. Like: ouch. We are in the final months before our big delivery at the video game studio and a lot is happening with our feature film too, which means few days off and lots of stress! Although as a producer stress is a big part of the job and I have developped healty strategies on how to best deal with it, my anxiety troubles have been challenging me big. Luckily Billie and Ramiro are the best support team in the world and always make me smile and see things positively. And there is also something that always works to get my mind off things and get me smiling: Disney films! Between the uplifting stories, inspiring music and enchanting visuals, Disney is my go-to to decompress. So when Ramiro suggested we watch Mulan on Friday night, I was like oui oui oui! I had never seen Mulan before and oh gosh, I am the blossom flower blooming in adversity! I used to think that if I was a Disney character I woul be Jasmine from Aladdin, but now I know: I am Mulan! A late bloomer that doesn't really fit in, but thrives in the end. The directing of the film is amazing and very inspiring to us as filmmakers. Disney, you never let me down and I love you for it! Happy Sunday everyone (at work for me)! Virginie xo

ON OUR DAY OFF: WENDAKE

On the first day of June we took a little hiking adventure in Wendake. We started our hike at the Kabir Khouba Fall and walked along the canyons, across the bridge and into the woods, up and down many many stairs. Billie loved it. The weather has been hüber rainy and so the river was so strong and wild - energizing in a way. Truly inspiring to me. Virginie xo
