I have the privilege of spending about four weeks of the year in Canada (or more specifically in Ottawa and Toronto), and Ontario never fails to disappoint!! My most recent two week trip wrapped on Monday, so this week’s ‘Friday Favorites’ is devoted to all things Canada – well almost! 1. Ottawa National and CSI3* […]

This week’s ‘Friday Favorites’ is largely a quick wrap-up of some of my favorite things from this past, jam-packed weekend, one wild card favorite, and one thing I’m extremely looking forward to this weekend!! 🙂 1.)
