Canada Day 2016

“... True North Strong and Free.”

This lyric from Canada's national anthem perfectly encapulates my native land.  Since living abroad, I have a newfound appreciation for my home.  From it's receptive multiculturalism, political and economic stability, overly polite culture ["sorry" about the not-so humble brag!], majestic scenery and yummy food [Mmm.... maple syrup or poutine anyone?], Canada is a truly magnificent place to live.

Before having kids, I would spend the day at the beach, followed by spectacular fireworks over the water. Fast-forward a few years, we decided the logistics of juggling the kids coupled with today's icky weather just wasn't worth it.  Instead we opted to have a quiet day at home as a family.  These simple moments with my loves are the ones I will treasure the most.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
