you may recognize the line in Sabrina Carpenter’s new song “why so sexy if so dumb” but I actually first coined this phrase in my own head when I put the yogurt in the pantry instead of the fridge.

My alarms list is a good reminder of what a silly goose I am. The maps app full of pins on “blackcaps” “chaga” & “fiddleheads” is pretty funny too.

Festival season has begun. I plan to spend my weekends with the tickle of ants on my legs & the smell of sunscreen on my kids. Washing reusable water bottles & shaking out blankets so we can do it all again the next day.

Happy global running day. I'm new to running but, other than having to wash my hair more often, really enjoy it.

I'm glad to hear Mark Carney speak on the importance of housing, it's hard for anyone to recover from any health condition without having access to a secure home. 🇨🇦🍁
