In Montreal, our March break cannot be titled a “spring break” because we still have ice and snow EVERYWHERE. It can actually mess with your mind because you still feel like you are in hibernation mode and then, just like that, spring is almost over and your errands and activities…

My head is still spinning with all the amazing information and inspiration I received at BlogHer2017. I am so happy I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the conference. I got so much out of my experience as a seasoned blogger, because there was truly something for…

The Montgolfieres Festival in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is already on its way and going on until August 17th. I’ve been…
