Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
What to pack when travelling is determined by where you’re going and what your plans are once you’ve safely arrived at the destination. The strappy heels you’ll wear to a bistro won’t work for a hike on the mountains around Pemberton, British Columbia, and there’s no call for a winter sleeping bag if you’re staying at …
Last week, our 7 month old Bernedoodle suddenly became obsessed with his wiener.
