As the year ends, I can’t help but look back, and I’ve gathered a few of my favourite photos from 2022 to share with you. I’m feeling lucky and grateful that my family and I had the chance to travel again, to New York City and Germany as well as our beloved Prince Edward Island, and some of our favourite places in our home province, Nova Scotia.
