Feb/Mar Fitness Challenge: The Home Stretch
According to my midwife, I’ve had a “boring” pregnancy. She meant it as a compliment… I’ve been pretty low maintenance for her over the last 8 months or so. Even given that midwives as providers tend to take on the low risk and easier pregnancies, I’ve been a breeze for her. I told her “you’re […]
Gratitude Gems: Quality Time
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! This past weekend with Good Friday as a statutory holiday meant that I got to spend three whole days with my husband. And it was wonderful!
A Lengthy Architectural Read
Part of my reading challenge this year required that I read a book my mom loves. I liked this category, as it took the book selection completely out of my hands. I waited a long time for my mom to make her choice, and when she finally did, she handed me a 1,000 page tome. […]
Overthinking Kindness
To my surprise, one of the 32 goals I set for myself this year, to complete 12 random acts of kindness, has continually eluded me. To the untrained eye (you, dear reader) that might indicate that I’m just generally an unkind person, after all how hard can it be to be kind to someone at […]
Framing Our Decor Situation
One of my favourite ways to make a house (or a townhouse) feel like a home is to put pictures up on the walls. A few years ago in our previous house, I embarked on a risky endeavour creating two collages on the walls of our living room/front hallway. I briefly tried out some arrangements […]

Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! It was my birthday yesterday, and I have lots to be thankful for! I got to hang about in my pajamas for as long as I wanted, and I played video games, and I read, and I got lots […]

Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I am extremely grateful today, as today marks the first of many Mondays where I don’t have to go to work! As of Friday last week, I am officially off work due to pregnancy! My maternity leave will […]
A Simplistic Dystopian Read
As part of my reading challenge, I had to read a book I should have read in high school. Initially I had no idea what I’d read to fulfill this requirement, and then a friend of mine asked if I’d read The Giver. Apparently, she read it in high school and was surprised that many […]
A Poetic Pregnancy
Because I’m feeling all sorts of feels lately, I find my emotions best summed up in verse! Enjoy!
