Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Kathleen…
September 26th marked the transition into my second quarter-century of life. And with it came big celebrations, thoughtful gifts and so much gratitude I thought my heart might burst.

This must be just like livin’ in paradise
Bagheera, K-To and I continued our September Philippines adventure on the island of Boracay, a veritable paradise. When deciding to travel, you have two options: travel for the sake of travel or travel for the sake of a holiday.

The people, the food, the vistas, the atmosphere… nothing was lost on me.
