I began a journey at the beginning of May that involves not buying anything for three months – August 3rd, to be exact. I am allowed to buy toiletries, medicine, groceries & needful things, but nothing else. Let me tell you, it has been a challenge. I often use shopping as therapy – true retail therapy. … More I Still Have Everything I Need
I have pinned heaps of craft projects on Pinterest & I intend to try as many of them as possible. I was actually browsing my pins this evening to find some to do this week. I ended up being inspired enough to go ahead & try a couple tonight. I love pom poms. I do. Anyway, it’s … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 12
Friday’s outfit was quite different for me. It was all pretty neutral in colour. It started with the skirt & went from there. I had intended to wear a brighter shirt, but tried on the chambray shirt & liked it. I wasn’t completely comfortable in it, but while I am a big proponent of being … More And Now For Something Completely Different
Colin saw my outfit today & thought I was giving up my secret superhero identity by wearing my superhero outfit in public. Colin has pretty much zero interest in fashion & style, but he does support my love of it. So today I am revealing that, in fact, I am a superhero. What are my … More I'm a Superhero!
Wow – it’s been a while since I did an outfit post. I’ve missed it. Anyway, we had a fabulous time visiting with my sister & her family in Tacoma/Seattle. Lots of great outings & of course, the U2 concert. Outfit posting fell by the wayside a bit. I’ve been exhausted & a bit sick … More Holidays Are Worth It!
We had a great day today – took the boys to the Pacific Science Center. It was heaps of fun. I highly recommend it whether you have kids or not. I do recommend that you take a packed lunch – it’s expensive if you eat in the cafe! We particularly liked the Physics of Bubbles … More The Science of Butterflies
I never thought that I wanted to be a Mom. Then I never thought I wanted to be a stay at home Mom. Along with all that I never thought I would enjoy baking. I’ve changed my mind. I love being a Mom more than I ever thought possible. I love being able to stay home … More Half Baked
You know how there are some things that just make you feel good? The outfit I wore yesterday is one of those things. I’ve had the dress for years – thrifted sometime, somewhere. I love the colours & the pattern & the fit – it’s made of super comfortable cotton. I shortened it at some point … More I Feel Good!
Today I’m wearing my favourite cardigan. It’s from Marks & Spencer in the UK & I’ve had it for at least 15 years. My love for men’s Marks & Sparks cardigans began when I borrowed one from my Dad’s closet while we were living in London. That was it, I had to have one for … More I Miss Marks & Spencer
I’ve been busy the past few days organizing! Shocking I know. Seems like I’m always working on some get tidy project. I’ve come to realize, sadly, that it’s never a one-off event. Life, kids, stuff happens & the organized spaces of our lives get jumbled again. I can deal with that. One of my motivations … More Highland Feathers
