and everything in between
Our house was built in 1978, needless to say we do renos every year. They're usually little things here and there - new paint, fixing up the garden, etc. We also have big dreams of gutting our kitchen. My husband shows the new kitchen plan to pretty much anyone that walks into our home. Want …
In January of 2018 we started shopping secondhand. The last year has been an interesting journey of thrifting, buying on Facebook marketplace and Kijiji and opening our minds to what we can purchase secondhand. The main reason we started doing this was for sustainability, when we purchase something secondhand no new products are being created. …
Let's just blow past the fact that I haven't written anything here in 5 months, shall we? When was the last time you sat down with yourself and thought about your values? And I mean really thought about them, like... sitting at the dining table with a notebook and pen, while your kids/boyfriend/dog/roommate/whatever is …

Life is curious. "The only constant is change." Yesterday was chaos. My babies had more energy than even they knew what to do with, The weather couldn't make up it's mind. I had so much to do I didn't know where to start. Then today came. The rain came. The calm came. So much calm …
I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow I now have a one year old. Each year on their birthdays, I write to my beautiful babies. This is Mabyn's first write up, I hope one day she reads it and knows how much she means to me. Mabyn, I’ve spent the last 365 days loving …
I read a really beautiful piece written by a woman this morning. You can (and should!) read it here. She talked about her experience growing up surrounded by a group of female friends.
