Month 4: Amazing Spider-Nayla - hero

Month 4! I was just telling Romel the other day that although it’s only been four months, I can’t remember what life was like pre-Nayla. At least for me, I think life really started when this little one entered into our world. This month, Nayla has continued to grow and develop in so many ways. …

Month 1: Hey Now Your Name Is Nayla! - hero

Oh how things have changed at the Dris’ residence. The days are much shorter and the nights feel much longer.

Get To Know Us

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).
