Guest Blogger and Green Card Holder D. Fournier is back for a special blog post that aims to (simply) explain the complicated cluttered experience of a Canadian legally obtaining a green card. A box of wine and an American flag is encouraged for this reading. It’s hard to believe that three and a half years have passed […]Read Post ›
It’s hard to believe that it’s already this time of year again. No, not the end of summer, or back to school. It’s the week when I try to see as many movies as possible within a short tight week. And no, I’m not talking about the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s PIFF! The Philadelphia International […]Read Post ›
“Happy We’ve Been in Philly 30 Months Today Day!” I sputter out. Derrick looks at me and says “Wow. That’s a lot”. And he’s right: it has been a long time. 30 seems like a bit of a milestone, yet it just seemed to pop out of nowhere. Maybe we stopped counting, got too […]Read Post ›
Walking with my little pug-terrier Primrose, the behavior that frustrates me the most in the moment, is also the behavior that when I step back and look at the bigger picture, I admire and adore the most. If she sees a dog within a 20-50 meter radius, she goes wild. It doesn’t matter the […]Read Post ›
The Reading Terminal Market was one of the first places we visited when we came to Philly. We heard it was a good place for lunch. We stuck to the outside aisle, finding a cheesesteak, some ice cream, and a box of made before our eyes Amish donuts. I was a little intimidated, […]Read Post ›
This is my life’s motto: If it’s legal, safe, doesn’t hurt anyone, and I’m available, I’m game. I’ve found some of my favorite adventures in life by simply leaning in and saying yes. After moving to Philly 21 months ago, this really has become a way of life for us. So when an offer […]Read Post ›
September often brings mixed reviews with the turning of season, and blockbuster hype (or blockbuster bomb) enthusiasm with going back to school, along with early leaks of Halloween and Christmas decorations. For me, September means TIFF, the Toronto International Film Festival. Last year, unable to volunteer at TIFF, I started my own film festival […]Read Post ›
What’s a must do in Philly over the Easter long weekend when you have guests in town?! With the Rocky Steps closed for the NFL Draft, and we’ve already waited an hour for a cheesesteak at Carmen’s, what do we do Easter Sunday? The Head House Square 86th Annual Easter Promenade. Although it’s been around […]Read Post ›
I wish I could say it was a dark and stormy night when things went wrong. In reality, it was a very mild February night at about 8pm. Derrick and I had just finished dinner, and were walking to the Riverview movie theatre that’s about 15 minutes from our home. It started off as […]Read Post ›
I have never felt hopelessness like I have since November 9, 2016. The American ideal that everyone is important, equal, and welcomed is not a reality. The United States is divided, and on that day, I couldn’t pretend anymore. I saw the divide, the anger, the fear, and the apathy. The unquestionable yet flawed and dangerous […]Read Post ›
