As mentioned in my previous post, I spent a lot of my Christmas break setting up my new craft room/home office. I posted a while back about the facelift in the ugly green spare room I used as my computer room/vanity room, and I loved the periwinkle colour and the huge window and all the [...]
I have been feeling very antsy and restless being solo at home this past week so here is my first brain dump of the new year. Don't get me wrong, I love our house. It just somehow feels less like home when I'm alone. We're in the process of remodelling the basement which is super [...]
Writing has always been very cathartic for me. I deem myself pretty competent with spoken word, and Ma always told me I have the "gift of gab" but written word seems to flow from my inner core. I start writing in a stream of conscience and things just pour out from the deepest recesses of [...]
There are a few things I have no patience for; racism, homophobia, bullying and inconsiderate jerks. I'm going to do a series on my own personal views of modern etiquette for things that inconsiderate dinks do. The first instalment will be geared towards driving.

One of my favourite things about my father was his poetry. He had such a beautiful way with words, and he used to write my Ma love letters and poems and paint her pictures. He was so raw and open and honest with his love for her, and he swept her off her feet and [...]
My personal qualms with social media and the three main issues I have with its ridiculousness.
I just finished a midnight FaceTime with one of my best friends. Today was a tough day for her. Her mom has been battling aggressive cancer for 4 months now and passed this morning. It wasn't unexpected and they've been preparing for it for a while now, but I don't think that anyone can ever [...]
I've been wanting to write about my experience and opinions on the fitness competition I did in 2015 for EVER now, but as we all know I slack and get "writer's block" aka I'm lazy. And this is going to be a pretty detailed post so I had to wait for the inspiration to strike [...]
