I’m not sure about you, but I’ve been election crazy over here. I thoroughly admit I’ve been binge-watching CNN for the last 8 weeks. While we make our home in Canada, everyone in this house is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada! So, this morning, I woke up and couldn’t help feeling a little […]
