Excited for @tkbookclub tomorrow and looking forward to hearing what all the gals think about this one! #akarrbooklist #tkbookclub
My grandma was kind of an odd bird. She loved good-looking men, smokes in her sitting room, Pepsi, budgies named Peter (she had a few) and costume jewellery. She lived on her own for 15 years after my grandpa passed away and I could never believe how

Missing my mama (isn’t she cute?!) and her mama today. Can’t wait to go back to Winnipeg and see them both. WHEN WILL THAT BE?!!!
