Hoping to Help
Hello! Welcome to my blog! I started this blog a few years ago on a different platform, but I felt it was time for some refreshing! I am in the process of moving all my entries over here, so bear with me. For those of you who do not know, my name is Tricia and I’m from a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada.
