I’ve been a pretty athletic person my entire life. Team sports are usually my jam. I played volleyball, box and field lacrosse, hockey, volleyball, and basketball back in the day. And I’m a pretty competitive person. I don’t like to be bad at things so I study how people play so I can get better. […]

Long-distance friendships can be difficult to maintain, but there’s something so special when someone cares enough to travel across the country to visit you – even better when you get to partake in a fun camping activity! One of my dearest friends, Stephanie, made the trek before she started her new job. This called for […]

This is part two of my adventures in the dating app world. Make sure you check out part one: a new world to get caught up! Where were we? Ah, yes, the Australian. After what seemed like hours, I finally managed to decide on a message to throw his way. “I’m a fan of big […]

Sometime during my realization that carrying two jobs unnecessarily would lead to certain crazy-cat lady status, I became acutely aware of the fact that dating was a necessity in my life. My sister seemed to think so, too, because one of the items on my 27 x 28 list she wrote for me included going […]

Hi friends! I’m back! The last half a year basically has been an interesting ride. I went through a bit of a depressing season back in December/January and just had zero motivation for life. January through March I was swamped with my day job and a huge development project. Then April came. April brought sunshine, […]

Despite the fact that my hometown has been hitting record-breaking warm temperatures for the month of December, out here in Alberta we’ve had snow on the ground for over a month. I actually kind of love it. I’m not sure how I would survive if I didn’t have the literal changing of the seasons to […]

You guys – I’ve officially determined the most perfect drink to get from Starbucks around Christmas Time (in my opinion at least!).

You guys, confession. I am the worst at keeping plants alive. It’s never-ending houseplant struggles on my end. Even plants that are supposed to be very low maintenance. Somehow, they always croak on me! I’m fairly certain I must over-water plants or something. Tides are changing though. They must be, because I’ve had this awesome […]
