I have a confession to make that may make me unpopular or perhaps even shunned from the community. I’m going to take a deep breath and be out with it. Here it is, my dirty little secret: my house is always clean, neat, and organized. Now please stay with me a moment – this is […]

This morning the world is white and grey, snow falling and the colour of the sky perfectly matching that of the ground.

Happy Thanksgiving, my Canadian friends! I hope you had a lovely long weekend. I spent the long weekend at my in-laws’. Pause. I’m all about positivity, and so I will leave it at that and simply post this picture of me eating grapes. I seem to have my mouth full in that picture, either that […]
