Despite the fact that as an adult I’ve never much liked wearing costumes, “playing dressup” was a favourite source of amusement, providing hours and hours of fun and stimulating my fertile imagination, when I was a child. [continue reading…]
Not to bore you by talking about the weather, but… I am VERY happy to report that the temperature in my corner of the wintry world has actually, finally, reached the double digits ABOVE zero! Yes, we’re currently sitting at 10°C (that would be [continue reading…]
These Tangled Tuesday posts sure do seem to creep up on me lately. Time really flies when your social life starts to pick up AND you still find yourself addicted to reading in between time! Fortunately, though, I do have a couple of tangling goodies to share with you [continue reading…]
When it comes to my job (that is, the work that actually involves a salary) I am very, very organized. I have a Bring Forward file and a detailed task list in Outlook. I pay the bills on time and do my filing and backups every week. And I pride myself on [continue reading…]
I saw a graphic that someone posted on Facebook the other day about Daylight Saving Time that cast my (mostly negative) attitude toward turning the clocks ahead in a whole new light. I don’t remember the exact wording, but it was something along [continue reading…]
Shamelessly stealing a brilliant idea from the lovely Sammy D. at bemuzin…
If we met for coffee this weekend, it would be at a unique little café with exposed brick walls, mismatched vintage [continue reading…]
During the summer of 2013 I visited Chicago for BlogHer ’13, and fell in love with what I saw… so much so that it joined New York City and San Francisco on my small-but-growing list of favourite cities. When I saw that today’s Photo Friday challenge [continue reading…]
Something that has always amazed and intrigued me is the way certain smells – even the tiniest of whiffs – have the ability to instantly trigger a flood of memories.
I am so excited – I actually get to go out and do something fun tonight! OK, so that might not sound too exciting to you, but considering that I only left the house TWICE over the past month, it’s rather thrilling for me. Here’s hoping I don’t cough too much! [continue reading…]
Remember when I wrote the other day that I was having a hard time putting down my new Kindle Paperwhite? Well, there are only so many hours in the day, and unfortunately this week my obsession with reading took over the great majority of my [continue reading…]
As you may know, I host a regular gratitude linkup on Alphabet Salad. I also hosted a 2015 Word of the Year Linkup back in January (which was a whole lot of fun!), and have participated many times in linkups hosted by other bloggers. [continue reading…]
Welcome to a fresh new month of gratitude! Yes, March is here, and with it (in just a few short weeks) the official start of Spring. Although it’s currently cold and snowy where I am (and quite possibly for many of you as well), here’s hoping Mother Nature [continue reading…]
Well, that’s February over – another month of blogging, photos, and winter, done and dusted. I can’t say I’m sorry to see the end of this one, as it’s been at various times challenging, unpleasant, and COLD. Here’s hoping that March brings better things… it’s when Spring officially begins, after all! [continue reading…]
I didn’t have to go too far to find my pick for today’s Photo Friday challenge prompt of “Leaves” – it was waiting for me right at my own front door! See, the outside walls of our home are slowly being covered with a blanket of ivy, and although this picture [continue reading…]
If you were to sneak a peek into our kitchen cupboards you would find – amongst the utilitarian nesting stainless mixing bowls, the variously-sized modern black stoneware stove-to-table bowls, and the ornate glass serving bowls – a well-used, scratched and [continue reading…]
The sun has been shining brightly all day, it’s only -8°C out there (hey, the below-zero temperature is finally in the single digits – I’ll take it!), and the official first day of Spring is less than a month away. Life is good! In the meantime, though (while we’re [continue reading…]
