Still no fall-themed teas. Do the Quebecois not celebrate fall? Do they not like pumpkins? I guess tastes vary across the country. After all, the Tim Hortons in Quebec got rid of steeped teas. How blasphemous and sad. I'm itching to go back to Montreal though. So many great things come from Montreal. T-Surprise Overview... Continue Reading →
Catoro Cat Crate – Limited Edition
This is my first cat crate. I was a little hesitant ordering one because our current lot of cats can be picky, and because we have 3 largish dogs in the house, it's debatable if the cats would play with any toys.
