Erika Eats Everything

Like I said last month, this summer felt never-ending! I'm truly looking forward to a (somewhat) quieter fall and Archie being back in school and all of the routines. Summer was awesome but I swear that it lasted for six months and I'm exhausted!! But I'm also super pleased with how much fun we had! We lived this summer to the absolute fullest!

This year there was a lot of cheese. At the end of the day, everyone just wants something gooey and cheesy! You'll still find pickles j

It's time for the biggest food event of the year in Edmonton!! This must-do festival is always at the top of my list and this year was my biggest Taste of Edmonton ever!
