Nicole’s Favourite Things: Here Comes The Sun Edition

You aren’t going to believe this, but it has been sunny and warm this week – mid-twenties for temperature, with lots of sun and no wind. I know. I know. I don’t even know where I am anymore. Wait, yes I do. I’ve already heard two complaints about the “heat” which makes me despair for […]

Breaking News: Woman Finds Python In In-Laws’ Toilet, Says It Was The Best Visit Ever

The long weekend was so early this year! We drove out to see my in-laws, and witnessed the aftermath of so many avalanches and mudslides.

It’s My Bag, Baby
