Gratitude Gems: No More Shoveling
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! As I walked out to the car this morning through the fresh snow that had fallen overnight, I couldn’t help but consider our new shoveling situation. We used to live in a house, and so we were responsible […]
Wayward Goals
Over the course of this year, I’ve set out to accomplish a lot of goals. Some of those goals are even lists in amongst themselves, and so the list really is quite lengthy. As I near my 32nd birthday, I’ve been considering how best to approach completing as many as possible on that list, and […]
Cross Stitching for Christmas
Every year around the holidays I always seem to make note of endless ideas for Christmas-themed cross stitching. There are so many great ideas out there, and I always wish I had a little bit more time to try a couple before the season is over. And every year I find I’m simply too busy with […]

Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I had to walk to work this morning for the first time in a loooooong time, and boy what a drag! I’ve come to realize that I really, really didn’t appreciate all that my body was capable of […]

It’s not that I haven’t been grateful, but I’ve just been too busy and/or lazy to make note of it here! So in classic catch-up style, […]
A Legendary Read
I sure do love me a good Arthurian tale! As part of majoring in English, I took a class all about the Arthurian legend and books written on the subject. It was one of my favourite classes. Something about those times full of chivalry and adventure just sucked me in. From The Once and Future […]
January Fitness Challenge: Listening to My Body
I cannot believe it’s February already! It seems like just yesterday that we celebrated Christmas and started a new year! And here I am, about two months away from my most challenging body moment ever, and I’m so excited! I knew going into January that, as far as fitness challenges went, I was unlikely to […]
Gratitude Gems: Baby-Inspired Generosity
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I already knew that we have some amazing family and friends who are very generous with their time and money, but no event in our lives has highlighted that fact for us quite so clearly as our pregnancy.
