A few of my favorite things
As much as I love roaming the world with my passport and backpack, I always appreciate returning to New York to see friends and family. I've spent seven great weeks with some of my favorite people, but I've also enjoyed one or two other aspects of being in NYC. All the clean laundry I … Continue reading
Hockey Hall of Fame
While in Toronto, I made it to Canada's most revered museum: the Hockey Hall of Fame. Upon entering the museum, memorabilia from players who have been inducted into the HHOF are featured in display cases. Gordie Howe. Steve Yzerman. There was a mock locker room that I was curious to visit … Continue reading
MoMA
Fridays are wonderful for countless reasons, one of which being that New York City's Museum of Modern Art is free on Friday afternoons! It was jam packed inside but I was able to maneuver around the groups of people and have a good time. I made a beeline straight for the fifth floor, home … Continue reading
Locks of Love
I recently donated my third ponytail to Locks of Love, an organization which collects hair donations and assembles them into wigs to be donated to financially disadvantaged children with medical conditions that cause long term hair loss. Before. After!
Dog Show!

WKC dog show
New York recently hosted the 137th annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show and Mini Bear watched a whole action filled day! There are a few different categories in which dogs may compete. I didn't necessarily understand how the judging worked all of the time because sometimes they judged just a few dogs from one … Continue reading
Disney World’s Epcot
During our visit to Disney World, we spent a great day wandering around Epcot where a variety of different countries have exhibits. Since one of the favorite past times of Canadians is making fun of Canada, we made a beeline straight to the Canada section to see an American interpretation of my people. … Continue reading
13.1 miles of princesses
Awhile ago, my cousin and I decided to do a destination race every year and we picked the Disney World Princess Half Marathon for 2013. We even got my brother and sister-in-law to run with us and brought along a small but effective cheering squad! Completing a half marathon is a great achievement but since … Continue reading
Canada’s Walk of Fame
It may not be as impressive as the Walk of Fame in LA, but then again, it would be un-Canadian to be so flashy. We do a lot of things well in Canada, but I'll be the first to admit that Bryan Adams is our only decent singer.
Toronto winter
A winter's day downtown. My cousin and I went skating at the rink in front of City Hall on an unseasonably warm evening. The ice had been melting due to the sudden warm spell so the rink was a soggy mess. I choose to blame my poor skating abilities on the suboptimal conditions. … Continue reading
