Here’s what this weekend looks like at my house and a few other people’s houses.
What a weekend! 20 degrees in November, are you kidding me?
This beautiful weather has been a gift, another opportunity to gather outside and spend time with the people we love.
Wayne and I headed north on (more…)
Meet Gregor Leithead and Tara MacIntosh – a husband and wife team who tackle everything
together with vigor.
When the Covid-19 restrictions came into effect in March 2020, they
thought that temporary job loss and isolation would be the biggest challenges they would have to overcome this year. It turned out that was far from the truth. (more…)
Wayne and I have lived in our neighbourhood for almost 15 years. During that time we have explored many beautiful trails, there is nature all around where we live.
One thing we have always wanted to do is to explore (more…)
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. That means you probably know someone or are that someone.
Kim MacDonald, Canada’s well known news personality from The Weather Network was that someone. (more…)
Last weekend the weather was spectacular!
We were up at the cottage and I had a lot of work to do! September is always a busy month but it’s also the month where we can have the most beautiful weather and we know deep down inside it might be our last chance to enjoy whatever is left of summer.
I feel like I sound somewhat entitled when I say this, but here is the truth (more…)
Back in July I received a phone call. A local woman named Meghan who just happened to find me online! Jeez, I LOVE when that happens.

Okay, so this was one of those times where the Universe sent this wonderful person right to me. Meghan had no idea (more…)
I have to admit it. With the colder weather coming I am starting to get a little panicky about spending quality time with friends. Zoom parties were somewhat of a novelty back in March but now I’m kind of dreading going back to that. It’s been so wonderful to have safe physically distanced visits with friends outside in the beautiful summer weather.
Our first test for getting together in chillier weather happened this weekend when we were invited (more…)
Is it just me or did you feel the exhaustion of all the families getting kids back to school this week?
By the end of the day on Tuesday I was wiped out. Kind of sounds ridiculous for me to say, considering I don’t have kids and my week was pretty much the same as any other. I did, however, feel especially drained and tired last week. It could have been the cloudy days, the drop in temperature or just having a lot on my plate. Nevertheless, for all of you Mamas and Dads with kids who went back to school, you are amazing! I know your week could not have been easy.
With so much going on all at once, this is another reason to remember why (more…)
Meet my beautiful friend Joanne Wright. We’ve been friends since Grade 3. This is a long time to know someone. You know what it’s like with a true friend, you kind of float in an out of each other’s lives as the years pass by but somehow you always reconnect – as though your last conversation was only yesterday.
Sometimes life can change a person, not Joanne, she is still the kind, compassionate lovely girl she was all those years ago.
Growing up with Joanne has been (more…)
