Some of my Favourite Starbucks Drinks

I enjoy a good beverage from Starbucks. In fact, I am planning on enjoying a good beverage from Starbucks in the next hour or two with some close friends. While I think about what I might have, I wanted to share some of my favourite drinks. I’d love to hear about your [...]

Ryan Allen Endorses: BRIO Toy Trains

Most of my family on my mother’s side live in Nova Scotia–Halifax, to be exact. While I was born in Nova Scotia I grew up in Ontario, only visiting NS a few times when I was young. When I did visit it was, of course, lovely to see my family but I also [...]

London Proper

I’m in London England, wearing a suit, typing on my MacBook, and drinking a white mocha from Starbucks; the rub is, I’m doing this in the lobby of a hostel. I never thought that would happen.
