Holidays! I visited beautiful Toronto during what locals called a time of “the most snow we’ve had in ages” . It was both mind-blowing and shocking. I borrowed a proper winter jacket, but I don’t think I’ve ever been that cold in my life definitely a new experience!

The wedding we attended and the time spent with family were absolutely marvelous and deeply fulfilling.

Week ending 2025-03-02 (Week 09)

During the second week of our holidays, we made a stop on our way back to soak up the and enjoy the warm southern USA . It was all laughs until I came down with a high fever and realized I had caught a nasty flu that kept me in bed for the last five days of our trip.

You know it can happen, but being ill far from home is never fun! Still, we made it back as scheduled, just in time for my partner to start feeling unwell on the returning day and my child to spike a fever over this weekend. On the bright side, at least they got to enjoy the beach every day!
