I love summer. I love heat, I love sunshine, I love seasonal berries and vegetables, I love not feeling like my hands and feet are those of a ninety-year-old woman’s. Despite – or perhaps because of – my propensity to schedule and organize everything to the minute throughout the school year, I love having lazy […]
These are the people in my neighbourhood.

Proving my theory that every single day is special, yesterday was International Kissing Day, followed by today’s festivities – International Chocolate Day. I think I can get behind this romantic turn of events. Just this morning as I was opening up my drapes, I noticed my across-the-street neighbour walking his girlfriend to her car, kissing […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things: Here Comes The Sun Edition
May 23, 2014 by
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 […]

This weekend my husband was watching “The Wolverine”. Remember the lengths I went to in order to obtain that video?
