There's so much to be thankful for this Christmas; a screaming 1 year old, a hyperactive 4 year old, two stressed out parents who are exhausted... wait! What am I saying? Yes, it's that time of year when everyone is at their limit! No matter what your situation, know that you are loved by the … Continue reading So much to be thankful for this Christmas

With a new year comes a new me, always growing and learning to becoming the woman God created me to be. Enjoying this season of chosen singleness, I focus on my children, dog, music and fitness, centred in my aim to live a life of faith that is pleasing to the Lord.
Goodness, Gracious!!
The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis) was an easy read and would have been done in the matter of a day or two had it not been for me misplacing the book in a random place while attending to my littlest one. I lost track of it for about a week but … Continue reading Goodness, Gracious!!
Fun in the Kitchen!
Oatmeal raisin cookies were next on the holiday agenda from The Joy of Cooking book. They turned out great! Super easy to follow the recipe and tasty afterward! I am excited to arrive at my small group get together this Friday with my various Christmas cookies: gingersnaps, sugar drops, candy cane and oatmeal raisin cookies. … Continue reading Fun in the Kitchen!
Prepping for the Holidays (Dry Shampoo Review)
I gave Dove's Refresh + Care (Invigorating Dry Shampoo) a test run a few days ago when my 3 day straightened hair was at its end and needed a pick-me-up. I sprayed it on my scalp in sections and brushed it out when I was all done and it did a great job of cleansing … Continue reading Prepping for the Holidays (Dry Shampoo Review)
Gingersnaps!
Christmas baking has begun in our family! My eldest reminded me that we need to put some cookies out for Santa so naturally I decided to test out my gingersnaps on my 3 favourite guys at home. The cookies turned out smaller than expected, but their taste definitely surpassed my expectations! What kick! I followed … Continue reading Gingersnaps!
Straight hair funk?
I absolutely love having straight hair. I love the feel, I love how it looks, it's just so beautiful. One hair dresser at a high end salon said I could easily get away with wearing it for a week before washing it out to maximize how long it lasts, but seriously?? 7 days? I can't … Continue reading Straight hair funk?
“Oh my poor nerves, I just can’t bear it!”
I remember reading about some women with anxiety in fiction novels. They would often be characterized as frail, weak and sensitive; all in all, pretty pathetic and a burden to people more than anything else. Admittedly, I would smirk as the authors would target these women using sarcastic humour: "Oh my poor nerves, I just … Continue reading “Oh my poor nerves, I just can’t bear it!”
In a pinch… Spaghetti wins every time!
I would love to say that "at least I'm making my own spaghetti sauce", but it's one of those days where I am just tired. Who am I kidding? I always use the canned stuff anyway. Am I really missing out? I've spent the last hour and a half raking leaves just in the front … Continue reading In a pinch… Spaghetti wins every time!
Making a trip to the past.
There is great joy in cracking open books from your childhood and re-reading them. I'm not a fan of e-books, I like the smell of a good book and flipping the pages as I move my bookmark along. It gives me wonderful satisfaction! It didn't take me long to choose my box set of the … Continue reading Making a trip to the past.
Time for a trip to the Library! My Library.
Over the last few weeks I have been reading Leviticus from the NIV Bible and maybe I'm crazy but it wasn't nearly as bad as other people had said it would be. Repetitive, yes... but I found all the rituals and specific details rather fascinating. Everything must be exact. Precise. From sacrifices to festivals for … Continue reading Time for a trip to the Library! My Library.
