BROWSE THE ARCHIVES

Well, well, well. Yet another annual birthday bucket list filled with fun ideas. But Rebecca, you didn’t complete the last one? Too dang bad. A new year. A new list! I promise, one year, I WILL finish one of my lists! This year’s list is extra special. I entered my 28th year feeling particularly crappy. […]

Looking to implement a cash budget? Try making these adorable DIY reusable cash budget envelopes. A couple of years back I attended Financial Peace University at my church back home. It was a life-changing 10-week eye-opener to money. I’ve still struggled with budgets and money management since acquiring all that knowledge, but I’m determined to […]

Some more progress has been made on my 25×26 list! I can feel it – this year is the year I complete it all. I’ve tried another new dinner recipe — spicy beef satay pho! I had never had Pho before moving out to Edmonton. I went to a restaurant with my mom and sister […]

This DIY closet organizer comes in at under $200. I mean, seriously, have you ever looked at the cost of a closet organizer? My goodness! They can get quite pricey. And though I am quite fond of building out awesome organizers on the IKEA online PAX builder, I’m just not quite ready to dish out […]

If you’re looking for an easy meal idea, look no further! These enchiladas are absolutely to die for. I’ll be honest, though – I had never had an enchilada before in my life. I didn’t even know what they were. Then one glorious day about a month ago my partner suggested we make enchiladas for […]

Here in Canada, it’s been that time when boulevards are littered with the most annoying little signs every 10 feet – that’s right, it’s Election time. And if you’re like me, it’s your first time voting in an election! Its the time when we all get to exercise the freedom to vote. I’m not going […]

Well — I’m at it again, time for another birthday bucket list. For me, these annual bucket lists are a testament to the old adage, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” I’ve made two previous lists and unfortunately only made little dents in them. This year, sitting in the gardens outside Les […]

Back in November, the women of my family traveled from three different places and met up in Maui for a week of paradise and celebrating my mom’s birthday. Maui has such a diverse geography. Rainforests, volcanoes, and ocean fronts. It was truly beautiful. One of the only things on my to-do list for this vacation was […]
