learning – Through the Lens of Motherhood

The beginning

The climb is hard, not because the mountain is actually really a mountain, it’s really more of a quarter of one if you really think about it, but no matter how many times I have started out to make this climb I find myself winded and puffing by the time I reach the final stepsContinue reading “The beginning”

Toronto – Closed Pandemic week 4 or 5: It has been a long few weeks.
