I can’t believe 2026 saw Canadians start out Canadian, get told by TikTok that we’re Chinese now, narrowly escape getting forced to become American, experience the Super Bowl reveal that we’re LATIN American, and now suddenly we’re European, what a year it’s been
my two-year-old often asks me what strangers’ names are and i always make up something weird like Shubby or Bembo and apparently she’s been paying attention because we saw a deer on the way home and i heard her say quietly to herself in the back seat “i think his name is…Jimbus”
it’s barefoot contessa 2025, baby. we’re buying flowers so the house looks beautiful. we’re baking chocolate peanut-butter cupcakes just because. we’re having fabulous dinner parties to celebrate our friends’ successes. we’re having dessert after lunch, & then again after dinner!
