Between the broadcast of the 2014 Academy Awards and brand new episodes of two of our favourite shows (The Walking Dead followed by Talking Dead), Peter and I were certainly spoiled for choice in terms of TV-viewing last night.

Well, it snowed last night. AGAIN. But even in the midst of my frustration with The Winter That Might Never End, there is cause for gratitude: waking up to find that our neighbour was in the process of shoveling our walk. AGAIN! We need to put some serious thought into a creative way of [continue reading…]

So there are these brown cardboard boxes currently sitting on the floor of my home office. Two of them, actually, that have been taking up space for as long as we’ve been living in this house and have been progressively getting more and more full to the point where they are now [continue reading…]
We’ve lived in this house for more than two years now, the latest in a long line of residents who have called this place home over the past hundred years or so.
After yesterday’s Meatless Monday foray into the world of Portobello Mushroom Burgers, and the subsequent discovery that I am not so much a fan of Portobello Mushroom burgers, I started thinking about some of the other foods and flavours that don’t particularly appeal to me. There really aren’t [continue reading…]
Well, I did it… as promised, I restarted my Meatless Monday experiment and cooked dinner for Peter and I tonight. So no need to give me that virtual accountability poke! For the first meal back after my little break I decided to make Portobello Mushroom Burgers [continue reading…]
Today is a special anniversary for us – it’s been exactly one year since Grisabella, Felix, and Oscar came into our lives and home and became a part of our little family. (Here’s their story, in case you missed it.) The three of them bring an overflowing abundance of joy, love, laughter, and insanity [continue reading…]
When it comes to my own writing, I would have to say that my favourite style – the type of writing I most enjoy doing, the one that seems to “fit” me best – is creative non-fiction. That said, I’ve always been a little (no, a LOT) envious of people who have the ability to write fiction, and have often wished [continue reading…]

Show Me Fridays: upload an image to your blog (with or without words) of where you like to write.

You know, apart from the blogging bucket list I dreamed up awhile back, I’ve never actually had a proper Bucket List for the whole of my life. Sure, I have hopes, wishes, and dreams just like anybody else… but I haven’t taken the time to transform them into something physical, [continue reading…]
Our car got stuck yesterday. Peter had taken a trip to the library to pick up a book I had placed on reserve, and all was well until he arrived home and tried to turn the car into our garage… and got stuck in the deep snow and only partially-melted ruts of ice worn in by all the other vehicles [continue reading…]
Just for fun – and because list-making is one of my true and lasting loves – I’ve gone back and scoured the furthest recesses of my brain to come up with a (hopefully comprehensive) compilation of the leisure-time, hobby-type, creative activities I’ve learned (or, in far too many cases, [continue reading…]
Not sure if anyone happened to notice, but (whispers) I didn’t restart my Meatless Monday experiment in January like I’d said I would. And now (further whispers) it’s more than halfway through February, and I STILL haven’t managed to get back on the Meatless Monday bandwagon. [continue reading…]
This has been an exceptionally busy and happy week of appointments and errands and enjoying evening after evening of fun outings with friends. Today’s gratitude list, then, starts off with a sense of profound thankfulness for the wonderful people in my life and the many, many opportunities [continue reading…]
