Summer Treats: Jean Talon Market

25/07/2014 3 Comments

I know we are all too busy but sometimes you need a break. I’ve been unwell and spending a lot of mental energy on all the things that I wasn’t getting done. My wonderful husband set up a weekend in a small town on Vancouver Island. Taking a break helped me relax, reflect, and re-focus […]
