And . . . it’s August! How do we feel about the last month of summer? (#startUofT Is August good or bad?) I like August. A lot! So I compiled a short list of reasons to prove, quite undeniably, why…
A New Home Awaits
Last weekend I flew to Vancouver to visit my brother. I have been out west several times, as my mom’s side of the family lives in British Columbia. This time, however, I started thinking more about the experience of coming…
