My family may just be crazy. There’s me and my mom, my sister, her fiancee, and her 9-month old baby boy, and five cats in our house. Yes – five cats. I know, crazy right!? But we love our fur babies. Our house is pretty full. We live in a cute little bungalow with a […]

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 […]

Looking for how to keep in touch with your friends when you’re all going in separate directions? Start a traveling notebook! My excitement for the project is through the roof. The last year has brought so many changes. One of my best friends moved across the pond to England, I moved across the country to […]

Exciting news over here! Tomorrow I leave on my first business trip! I’m incredibly excited, and can’t wait for the new responsibilities. The awesome part is it’s with a client back home so I’ll be able to see friends and family on my trip as well. Here’s what I’ve packed for some reading material while […]

This weekend I trekked to Banff with my family. It’s about 4 hours away from Edmonton, so a pretty good chunk of time in the car…. perfect opportunity to make another one of these cute little bunnies. Crocheting in the car made the road trip go by so much faster. Thankfully, I don’t typically get […]

I’m beginning to adore living in Alberta. This past Saturday I made my second trip into the mountains for my first time snowboarding at Marmot Basin. My sister’s work put on a social event to head out and get some skiing and snowboarding in. Last minute a lift ticket became available and after a little […]

This aunt life is the best. I seriously could snuggle this guy for hours and hours and hours. He’s just the most precious tiny human on the planet. Also, toques and oversized cardigans are definitely my thing right now. I could live in them forever and ever and ever. Or at least until laundry day […]

I’m officially Auntie B!!! Baby Anthony made his debut early in the morning on February 15th! Its hard to believe that just twenty-four hours earlier, I was posting about getting ready for Baby A’s debut. Little did I know my sister’s labour had already begun. It’s a well-known fact in my family that my sister’s […]

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 […]

I was incredibly fortunate this past year to do quite a bit of traveling. It started with the most memorable road trip with my dear friend Sylvia, across the country. The paradise that is Maui with the women of my family. And the most exciting trip of all, 10 days in England, with my mom […]

Here we go! Without much planned, organized, or the most perfect brand developed, I have officially launched my blog! Why you ask, do you launch a barely started blog? For me, it’s simple. I’ve wanted to start a blog for quite a while now. I’ve even written quite a few first blog posts before in […]

the beginning.
