Spring is here, filled with the promise of new beginnings, and like the Robert Frost poem Nothing Gold Can Stay, weB次元官网网址檙e reminded that although the delicate new growth is beautiful, itB次元官网网址檚 also fleeting. So celebrate the season of new life with crisp whites, warm blacks and bountiful pops of fresh green! Oak BayB次元官网网址檚 Erin McCall takes us to her favourite local haunt, on St. Patrick Street, and shows us springB次元官网网址檚 new look.
A mom of three little boys, Erin is also a grade four teacher at Glenlyon Norfolk School. She also helps out from time to
time at their family business, , in the catering department. Originally from New York, Erin met her husband, Trevor McCall, at university in New York. The couple lived there until moving to Oak Bay about 10 years ago.
B次元官网网址淚 absolutely love raising a family here,B次元官网网址� Erin says. B次元官网网址淲e take advantage or our B次元官网网址榖ackyardB次元官网网址� by going on family bike rides, walks to the to explore tide pools, fish and crab. We also love to walk down the street to Thorn and Thistle to get penny candy for the boys (they love picking out their special ones) and coffee for ourselves and picking up their beautiful flower arrangements for us or for our friends.B次元官网网址�
With a bachelorB次元官网网址檚 degree in childhood education and a masterB次元官网网址檚 degree in literacy education, itB次元官网网址檚 no surprise that Erin loves her job. B次元官网网址淓veryone I work with truly cares about each and every student and making a difference in their lives,B次元官网网址� she says. B次元官网网址淚 work in such a positive environment, which makes coming to work everyday enjoyable. For me, to see a child learn something new for the first time and knowing I had something to do with their learning, inspires me to get out of bed everyday.B次元官网网址�
When it comes to beauty and style, Erin says, B次元官网网址淚 believe good style is whatever makes you feel good! When it comes to beauty I like to be natural. I am not one to wear too much makeup and I think it is important for people to feel beautiful in their own skin.B次元官网网址�
