February link-up

We are almost through the “longest” month of the year. This winter has been a long one in Toronto and we are really looking forward to warmer weather and some more time spent outdoors. A few of our kids are home for reading week this month so we will be enjoying the extra boots at the front door and lots of late nights.

I am ready to get back out into the garden and looking forward to getting some Dahlia tubers planted.

Until then, I’m keeping warm and cozy indoors. Making soup, watching Catherine O’Hara shows & movies and just listened to this great podcast.

To honour Black History Month we have also been watching shows and documentaries on both the NFB and CBC Gem. Highly recommend Summer of Soul.

This interview made me smile (how could it not) and a real chuckle at 6m10s in.

Looking for things to do this weekend? We had a celebratory dinner at Bramble last weekend and it was lovely. Great food, excellent service and perfectly cozy.

Sadly, Frock will be closing their doors. Make sure to pop by and pick up some goodies. While you are there, try the birria at Birria Cantina. So good.

The TDSB Learn4Life spring registration is open. From cooking, to finance, to languages there is so much to choose from.

The Book of Mormon is returning to Mirvish. Have you seen it?

Even though the overall news about the real estate market is that it’s been a slow start to the year, we are seeing strong multiple offer situations on properties in popular Toronto neighbourhoods. We have added Rockcliffe-Smythe to our neighbourhood pages, check it out when you have time!

Stay warm and enjoy these final weeks of winter, 22 days until spring.
