Christmas in Cuba
This year, instead of gifts for each other, my parents decided that we’d all go to Cuba as a family, on their tab! Cool! We went for a week, arriving back in Toronto on the 25th of December, effectively missing all the great Canadian Christmas spirit. I was a little sad about that. The Cubans…

I live in a disaster zone
My apartment is being renovated. This is what I came home to today: That’s my bathroom AND kitchen, FYI. The view is from my bedroom across the dining room. This morning I joked about having to pee behind a curtain. Little did I know I would actually have to do that when I came home…

Etsy Confessions
*sigh* Guys, I have something to confess. I think I’m addicted to Etsy. I just bought 2 more things today, and I fear that I will be buying more shortly… It seems I just can’t stop myself! Today I purchased two custom-made monogrammed purse hooks for myself, and for my mom as a stocking-stuffer. They’re…
