THROUGH THE BROWN EYES OF A CANADIAN-KOREAN WOMAN
It’s so hard to get a good family photo with the kids. We wanted to get a nice family photo for the Christmas cards that we were going to send out. What a big fail. We wanted everyone to look nice and have a big smile in the photo. But it seems like that’s not gonna happen.

I think I’ve said this before and every year I feel like spring and autumn is just gone and done within a few days. It gets cold so fast. Which calls for hot cappuccinos and lattes!
