#LoveHallmarkCA

I am officially 40 years old. I was born in the morning, on a Monday, in Lachine, Quebec. In forty years, I have discovered a lot about myself and the world around me. It’s been a heck of a ride so far and I am heading into this next decade…

Happy Heart Day, everyone! I hope you are having a love-filled day with hugs and kisses! This year officially marks the first year my three boys do NOT want to bring in Valentine’s Day cards for their friends. The shy years have begun and I’m so sad about it!! But…
