Recipe: Canadian Thanksgiving 2019
Canadian Thanksgiving 2019 – that’s right, it’s time to give thanks, spend time with family, and eat some delicious food. Fall usually feels like a new year to me – shedding the old, making way for the new. Or maybe it’s because of school – both as a student and as a previous high school teacher. Either way, the fall, September and October, feel like a new beginning and Thanksgiving fits so well into that theme – being thankful for life and family. So, what…

Project: Easter Brunch 2019
It’s that time – time for Easter Brunch 2019. Don’t you just love brunch? It’s like it’s own little extra meal. On days when we have brunch, I’ve usually eaten something small in the morning, like yogurt and fruit, then have brunch around 11am. Then around 2pm a snack and then dinner at the usual time. In no way shape or form does this one meal cancel out two. And, in no way do I eat twice as much than at another meal. All of…

Photos: Saying Goodbye to Lily
Saying Goodbye to Lily Saying goodbye is painful, especially when you know it’s the end. We said goodbye to our best friend with four adorable paws on Sunday night.

She loved to play, eat ice cream, and go for car rides. More than that, though, she loved…

If you follow me on Instagram you’ve probably already seen these, yet they’re too good not to share here, too. Let’s check out the past year for Lily! I remember back in June, when we were in Glacier National Park in Montana with Lily, a lady came up to us and just started hugging Lily. Her Great Dane was at…

Photos: Thankful
It’s Thanksgiving weekend and the leaves are blowing around the front yard and I’m thankful for so many things: my lovely little family, the strong connections I share with the amazing people in my life, a wonderful job and blogging. I’m so grateful to have a space where I can share my love for life. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t always love life – sometimes it is unfair, illogical, and dark; yet blogging, for me, moves me past that into the light. And, the…

Travel: Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park has a part of my heart forever. It’s so beautiful and I was delightfully happy spending 3 days with Bryce and Lily in the massive national park. See it if you get a chance – you won’t be sorry. We traveled the Going-to-the-Sun-Road and cooked on our camp fire. Do you want to see more about our trip?
