This little gem is a haven located in North Miami. The grounds are beautiful and a breath of fresh air in the heart of the city.

A few years back the opportunity to move to Austin presented itself and we took a leap of faith by leaving Montreal, our hometown, the place where we grew-up and lived all our lives. It wasn’t an easy decision to make with our family and friends there, but the opportunity was a good one and […]
