Montreal with baby

Montreal is one of those Canadian hotspots that everyone loves to visit and I’m sure many have hopped over for a quick shopping extravaganza (something about those Euro fashions always entice me), a bachelor/bachelorette party or for some good old R&R.

A mighty farewell in Newfoundland

A mighty farewell in Newfoundland

Last week started off on a very sad note,  we hopped on a  plane to Newfoundland. While we were hoping to say goodbye to Nan Murphy in person, we unfortunately missed doing so. I’ve always associate death with lots of crying and a miserable atmosphere overall. However Nan Murphy, the greatest soul one could ever meet, […]
