{ Happy Birthday Canada! }
Thank you for loonies, twoonies, the telephone, hockey, peanut butter, poutine, butter tarts, walkie-talkies, snowmobiles, snow blowers, basketball, five pin bowling, Trivial Pursuit, garbage bags, Wonderbra, alkaline batteries, egg cartons, paint rollers, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, Ginger Ale, Pictionary, Pizza Pizza, Tim Hortons, rollerskates, and Justin Bieber.

I am so proud to call this country my home. No matter what problems we may have, they don't even compare to issues many other countries deal with on a daily basis, and I'm so grateful for that.

What do you love about Canada? Have you ever been here?

  1. I haven't, I'd like to say it's one of the things I love about it but that seems a little cruel...

  8. Happy Canada Day! Loved your list --- although it makes me a little homesick. We haven't been 'home' in a year and it's long overdue!

  15. We went to Vancouver/Whistler a couple of years ago and LOVED it! Canadian scenery is just breathtaking. The people were great too! If I were ever to move to a different country Canada would definitely be at the top of the list! Happy Canada Day for yesterday :)

  16. I've never been but I would like to. I saw so many films about Canada and the whole country is amazing! I'm French so I think I would go first in Quebec but I'd love to visit Vancouver because one dear friend of mine is born in and she gave me the love of her country.

  19. I love Canada! My boyfriend's sister and her family live there, and we went out to visit the winter before last. MAN it gets cold doesn't it?! We loved it though, it was such an adventure. Tim Hortons is literally the best thing ever, I so wish they would branch out to England! Hope you had a lovely day :)
