Fall is here! I thought I wasn't quite ready to let go of summer, but we have been enjoying some gorgeous fall days. I also have some fun warmer weather travel plans coming up in the next month, so I guess I'm not letting go of summer yet!

March 2018 Review & Favourites
Well, I'm a little late on the March review post. Time has been flying and I've been completely slacking on the blog posts.

How I Made Meditation a Habit
When I first started dabbling in meditation I didn’t really tell anyone. It seemed kind of out there and certainly wasn’t as mainstream as it is now!
