I made this recipe using steelhead trout I got at Costco. I thought it would be more like a white meat fish, but it seemed a lot like salmon. It was a super simple recipe, but it was basically fish with bacon – not saying that’s a bad thing, but it seemed very simple. I actually … More Challenge 3 – Trout Navarra-Style & 30 Days of Creativity – Day 28
I finally did it! I made a fascinator. I have been wanting to make one for ages, but have been kind of intimidated. I decided that my first attempt would be a Summery fascinator that wouldn’t look heavy, but I also didn’t want it looking too bridal so I went black & white. I even … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 27
My creative act yesterday was to take a few pictures of my boys at the wedding we went to. This is one of my favourites. Sometimes I am just blown away by how amazing my boys are. Truly blessed. Today, I got out my calligraphy pens & wrote out a quote on an Artist Trading … More 30 Days of Creativity – Days 25 & 26
…and we’re gonna get married. Well, I’m not getting married, I already am. And we’re not going to a chapel, we’re going to a park. And they’re already married in a civil ceremony, but this is a wedding before family & friends, but it’s still a great song. It was a great wedding too, simple, … More Going to the Chapel…
It’s a thrill to make it through Week 3. The first time I did the Couch to 5K program it was on the third day that I wasn’t sure I would be able to make it home on my own. I developed bursitis in both of my knees & was in intense pain & barely … More Couch to 5K – Week 3
I’m back! Had a couple of days without doing anything intentional – I cooked meals, put outfits together, played with the boys, but none of it felt like an intentional act of creativity. It’s been a really bad week sleep-wise & I think that has contributed to my lethargy. Snapping out of it now though. … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 24
For some reason, I’ve always been prejudice against yellow. I think that early on, I felt like it turned my skin yellow. So I don’t own any yellow clothes. Recently, I’ve changed my mind a bit & actually started to like yellow as a colour. However, I still think it turns my skin yellow. So … More I Don't Do Yellow, Usually
It’s all been quiet on the western front of late. I think I need to allow myself some time to adjust to Summer being here in full force – at least for a couple of days. I think I have Seasonal Affective Disorder for Summer – is that possible? I have considered giving up outfit … More Casual Flare
Just checking in. Completed the second week. The middle run was tough, but the final run of the week went really well. Sometimes when I am running I can’t imagine increasing my time and other times I can really picture it happening. I’m going to keep on keeping on. I’m not having any knee pain … More Couch to 5K – Week 2
Happy Father’s Day! Don’t know how it worked out, but we went to one of my favourite restaurants – the only Indian place in town. Colin loves it too, so that’s good. Colin played with the boys all day while I read, cooked & did some crafty/creative things. Colin really is an amazing Dad. Speaking … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 19
