The Best Shortbread in Toronto

Mary MacLeod's Shortbread is so yummy- the cookies literally melt in your mouth.  I know it's part of my Scottish background, but I love shortbread, and this is only place that sells the closest thing to homemade (because it is!). 

Go out and support local businesses!

Great New Business in the Beach

4 Cats has been open since April 2012. I had never heard of it. Its a franchise that has finally come to Toronto. William went to a birthday party there on Sunday and it was awesome. Its an Art Studio that is geared to children.


From the Website:"Kids get to work in a variety of mediums, taking inspiration from the works of famous artists. If we are studying Andy Warhol, we silk screen and make ink blot paintings. If we are studying Picasso, we create acrylic on canvas cubist paintings and ceramics, if we are studying Frida Kahlo, we make paper-mache and paint acrylic on canvas self-portraits. You get the picture!
We throw in a lot of age-appropriate art history! Did you know Andy Warhol had 25 cats named Sam? Did you know Georgia O’Keeffe ate dirt? Did you know Leonardo da Vinci wrote his notes in secret code? Curators tell captivating and inspiring stories in a fun and humorous manner about the life and work of the artist being introduced." 


The parents were able to bring food into the studio too, which was so convenient, as you know many places won't allow that, which means you have to have cake elsewhere (INCONVENIENT!!!). 

Below is the link to the website- check it out!
