Happy Sunday, friends! I’ve just realized that it’s been way too long since I’ve written a ‘happy weekend’ post – and it’s not for lack of things to be happy about, despite the fact that it’s been a really tough month. So here are a few pictures of things that have kept me smiling over the past number of weeks…

{ Testing cheesecake recipes. Sometimes my job is soooo hard… :) }

{ Walking the beautiful gardens of the Château de Versailles, with friends visiting from Canada. }

{ Snuggles from Helen upon returning from a difficult trip home to Newfoundland. }

{ Stella has taken to carrying her frisbee home from the park. }

{ Caught Layla napping with the cat. }

{ Out for supper with a friend and all our dogs. }

{ Night walks around Paris – so rare to see the Louvre not swarmed by crowds. }

{ Even Stella thought the Louvre was pretty impressive. }

{ Beautiful pictures of home, sent by Mom. }

{ An incredible lunch with friends at Itinéraries . }

{ And a favourite lunch place – Candelaria . }

{ Met up with some friends at a really great microbrewery . }

Enjoy your week!
