Sunny ways, sunny ways my friends. Harsh Canadian winter is leaving us, the days are growing longer and warmer. I don’t know about you, but I get an instant mood boost as soon as we hit the first week of March.

By 17 Comments

How’s it going old friends? All is well? Are you enjoying the fall season? I know I am. In this time of the year, I find myself naturally wanting things that are warm, spicy and comforting. Like sweaters, cinnamon and Shepherd’s Pie.
