New Goals, Baby-Inspired
I’m now 32 and we have a baby and so much has changed! Obviously my 33rd year will be dominated by baby adventures… there will be so many firsts, and challenges, and memories to cherish! Thus when I thought about my goals, it seemed natural that baby would take the forefront. That said, I also […]
Unexpected Luxuries (or why I didn’t get all my goals completed last year)
A year ago things like diamonds, private jets and fancy cars would have topped the list when I thought of luxury. Taking incredible vacations and having endless funds and not ever having to work anymore would have also been considered. Certainly, the act of setting and completing goals wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. It’s funny how […]
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 […]
Gratitude Gems: 13 Months Off
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 […]
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 […]
Gratitude Gems: Walking is for the Birds
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 […]
Home Office Space
I’ve had the opportunity to work from home every once in a while now for well over a year – probably going on two years at this point. I’m lucky to have a manager that believes in providing the best possible working environment, and if that means allowing an employee some time to work on […]
Gratitude Gems: A Whole List of Things
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! Here I’ve missed two Mondays in a row, and that’s just unacceptable. 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, […]
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. […]
December Fitness Challenge: Walking and Baking and Walking Some More
Ha! Fitness! I have to laugh, because when I was reviewing my December, just like the previous few months, I really couldn’t help but relate my level of fitness back to pregnancy yet again. And while some people may find that tiring, the reality is that this big thing is happening to my body, and […]
