Last January, I wrote out a full page of goals for 2013, which I haven't looked at for, oh...362 days? I just went back to read my list today. Some of them I...
1. L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream covers flaws, moisturizes, and provides SPF all in one product. It doesn't get any easier than that. 2. LUSH Santa Baby Lip Tint is super concentrated, but...
I ran four miles on the treadmill at lunch yesterday and logged them on DailyMile, checked my stats and realized that run brings me to 1,000 miles on the nose for 2013, with...
It snowed last night. Just a light dusting, enough to make the ground white and turn our quiet street into a Christmas-card scene. The kind of fresh, early-December snow that makes you think,...
Doesn't it feel like Christmas is being such a sneaky dickens this year, creeping up out of nowhere? Christmas Eve is three weeks from today - THREE WEEKS. How is that possible? Where...
[1] Old Navy's Black Friday Sale, specifically for their Active line. This morning, I made my one and only Black Friday purchase and ordered some of their workout gear for cheap. $11.50 sports...
1. Eli has started calling us by our first names. "Amy, GET OVER HERE!" and "Where's Peter?" I don't know how he even knows those are our names. Then he cackles hysterically. 2....
[+] flannel sheets, because it's not already hard enough to get out of bed in the morning. [+] printed compression capris, because if you're going to be stuck in the gym, you might...
Lately, I have been oddly drawn to things that are making me feel very confused. I can't decide whether these new things I'm seeing are modern marvels and I want them - if...
Your second birthday was cloudy and drizzly, a lot like the day you were born. You came downstairs and were greeted by a new train set (which you were thrilled about) and some...
As our latest move in our quest to obtain the World's Worst Parents title, we've decided not to have a birthday party for Eli when he turns two years old on Sunday. At...
I've seen this Friday feature on a few different blogs lately, namely here and more recently, here. This feels a lot easier today than waxing poetic about gratitude or sharing the picture of Eli...
Let's tell scary stories, because it's almost Halloween time! On the radio this morning, they were talking about childhood fears. Mostly the irrational, absurd ones. For example, one guy called in and said...
"Meal planning" is one of those things that you can't really talk about with your friends, because as soon as you cop to planning out your meals for the week ahead, people stop...
[eating] We made this for dinner tonight and there are lots of leftovers...and I'm OK with that. Making this dish couldn't have been easier and it was so nice to come home to...
Today is our fourth wedding anniversary. Four years feels so established. Three years still sounds like newlywed territory. Four years sounds like A WHILE. Even though it's still a relatively short amount of...
It's funny how "family" takes on different meanings. It used to mean my parents, sister, and brother. Then I met Peter, and he became part of my family. I love my friends like...
Here's our September in a nutshell. 1. My happy place. 2. Photoshoot with this guy. 3. Casual Friday = team colours at work. 4. Sunny Saturday afternoon in the public gardens. 5. Road...
[via] When I hear, speak, or type phrases like 'love language', I projectile vomit, basically, because love language. I mean. It's right up there with saxophone solos and bodice-ripping novels. But I cannot...
It's officially fall. I haven't pulled the scarecrows out of storage or broken out the boots just yet, but it's almost that time. There's a little nip in the air in the mornings...
1. Leather leggings. Is this my midlife crisis? I don't know. But I'm seeing them all over the place and I want a pair. Or at least five minutes in the changing room...
We had a really nice Labour Day weekend in Boston. It was a busy few days exploring Boston Common and the Public Gardens, browsing around Back Bay, eating amazing food, touring the zoo,...
1. run more 2. cook more 3. eat cleaner 4. create more 5. spend less September is all about getting back into the swing of things, isn't it? Picking up routines that maybe...
This was my third time participating in Downtown Halifax's Big Day Downtown event, and each time I've done it, there's been a new twist. At this year's launch event at Noble, participating bloggers...
