I took some time off my blog to focus on my health. In the mean time, we found out that we will, in fact, be moving to Ottawa. With our listing to come out as early as March 1st, there are many things to get done around the house. In the first week I found … Continue reading We’re moving! (plus a little hair experiment)

There’s something about the Fall
There's something about the Fall that just makes me want to have new beginnings. I began my blog in September of last year, life got crazy but again, heading back into that crisp cool time of year, I find myself yearning to come back to what is important to me. I left off my last … Continue reading There’s something about the Fall
Keep on keeping on…
Has anyone ever mentioned it's tough to keep a regular blog going with bipolar disorder? There are periods of time I'm on my game, everything is great and I can regularly post interesting (at least I think so) blog entries but when I get knocked out for a period of time, it takes me a … Continue reading Keep on keeping on…
A Book Here, A Book There…
Do you read multiple books at a time? Do you forget where you left off sometimes because your little LO pulls bookmarks out of your books? Do you end up reading parts of your book 3-4 times before you realize you already read that part 3-4 times? This is the story of my life for … Continue reading A Book Here, A Book There…
A Hunger for More…
Some people like to use a reading plan to read the Bible from cover to cover in a year, there's many ways you can do it. For me, I've found my success in reading from Genesis to Samuel 1 so far has been a desire to know what is in the Bible and a curiousity … Continue reading A Hunger for More…

I lost track of it for about a week but … Continue reading Goodness, Gracious!!

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!
“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!”
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.
