Favourite things

I bought this kitchen towel in Boston. I had a difficult time choosing from among the many kitchen towels available, all with hilarious captions.

I LOVE these York Peppermint snacks! I can feel like I'm indulging and satisfying my ever-present sweet tooth, all for 100 calories!

I purchased this book for Makayla. It is about a mother's hope that her child will embrace and experience life to its fullest. I know my daughter and I will treasure this book for many years to come and I hope she will someday share it with her own child.

I purchased this book for Makayla but found myself enjoying it as much as, if not more than, she did. Written and illustrated by a Canadian author, it's full of quirky and hilarious illustrations which thinly veil a positive message: Taking risks enriches one's life.

The cute and colourful designs of these wallets and handbags from Canadian company Espe cater to my inner child while the wonderful quality and craftsmanship satisfy the grown up part of me.
