Thankful Birthday Weekend – Part 2
It’s raining outside. Yup, it’s raining, it’s cold, and it’s officially autumn (or the less elegant sounding “fall”) in Vancouver. I sound a bit whiny about the weather because up until Tuesday, it was sunny and warm; and up until today, there was no need for a super warm coat and a pair of my Hunter boots.

Part of that is because we’re all so busy and the other part is when you’re busy, even if you try to eat as healthy as possible, sometimes it’s just easier to eat quick things that at are, at the end of the day, not always the best for our bodies.
