Wow oh wow I pulled off a last minute (for me), long weekend camping trip to Jasper. In September. With two longs hikes. If feels like I should get at least 3 medals and eighteen gold stars for this one. For being out there only 3 days, we covered a lot of ground. I haveContinue reading “September Camping in Jasper National Park”

Full Moon Picnic
Thanks in part to struggling for many years being a single mom trying to do all the roles, and being a working parent with depression, I haven’t been taking the time to craft personal rituals and traditions. This is something that is important and interesting to me, but it never won out in the timeContinue reading “Full Moon Picnic”
I Quit Art Night
What happens when you want to quit an activity that you host? A few months earlier, I got some strong clues that Online Art Night really wasn’t working for me. I had been riding the struggle bus for ages, so I quickly brainstormed a “rebrand”. Thinking I could re-ignite my enjoyment by changing up theContinue reading “I Quit Art Night”
16 Spooky Books to Read in October
Autumn means pumpkin spice, warm clothes, and spooky books. The evenings are getting darker in Edmonton/amiskwaciwakahegan, and colder. It’s a perfect opportunity to snuggle down into my pillow fort and scare the pants off myself. Even if you don’t get to ALL of them, you can at least put some on your TBR list. TheyContinue reading “16 Spooky Books to Read in October”
Family Scrapbook Tradition
FAMILY SCRAPBOOK TRADITION HOW IT STARTED Christmas 2016 is the date of the first scrapbook. That much I know. I asked everyone to either write their favourite thing(s) about Christmas or something you are grateful for on Christmas. I think my plans were initially to create a book every December holiday we spent together. ThatContinue reading “Family Scrapbook Tradition”

Autumn in Edmonton
This is just an excuse to post some of the photos I have taken recently. They aren’t great photos, but thankfully this isn’t a photo blog! I love to explore Edmonton throughout the year, but it really comes alive in the fall. The leaves start to change colour, the golden hour is warm and cozy,Continue reading “Autumn in Edmonton”
Third Quarter Books (2021)
Looking back at my summer of books, I can’t say for sure if it was typical or not, in terms of sheer numbers. But I will say that I read loads of amazing books. No duds? Well, let’s take a look. A few breathtaking non-fiction, a sweet literary fiction that I stayed up late reading,Continue reading “Third Quarter Books (2021)”
Summer Memories Scrapbook
Okay okay, so I have been scrapbooking, and blogging about scrapbooking for 16 years, give or take. And I have no idea what to write anymore. It’s all been said by me or by someone else, who is probably way smarter than me (at least in terms of writing about scrapbooking). Now making videos isContinue reading “Summer Memories Scrapbook”
Second Quarter Books (2021)
Second Quarter Books (2021) Another quarter of the year down. Summer usually brings for me depression, envy, and doubt in myself as a mom. This year I am countering that with a goals reset and a Summer “would be cool if” List. And more books of course. Here’s what the last three months looked likeContinue reading “Second Quarter Books (2021)”
