It’s fall again, y’all. It’s kinda funny that when everything starts dying, the O’shea household starts to come alive. We hibernate through the hot summer months and come out just in time for the first frost. What can I say? We’re Canadians at heart. This weekend my husband cooked up a last minute activity that had everyone outside, running around, and working together – on a nature scavenger hunt.
