old montreal

This weekend was just what we needed.  Despite the weather feeling more and more like winter, we spent most of the weekend roaming pretty streets and warming up in pretty cafes and boutiques.

We spent some time dreaming about what life will be like if our first IVF round does work and I have to admit, it felt great.  I am almost afraid to go there but what is the alternative?  If it does not work I will be devastated regardless of whether we let ourselves dream now and besides, being optimistic feels good for a change.

Here is a peak into our weekend.

Happy Monday!

A walkway in Old Montreal
Love the old buildings and winding streets
Notre-Dame Basilica
Hotel Nelligan, our favourite Montreal boutique hotel
Juliette et Chocolat... amazing!!  I felt like I was living in Meryl Streep's "It's Complicated" Cafe
These were so warm and oh so good
These are from Les Glaceurs in Old Montreal.  I know I am not supposed to eat them but I did!
Xoxo,

    I so glad you had a little escape this weekend...and I think it's great to keep dreaming and imagining life on the other side of this journey. We have to remember why we do all of this in the first place!
