It's New Year's Eve Eve, meaning my least favourite day of the year is looming, tomorrow. I've never been a fan of New Year's Eve. There were, like, two years I was into...
When Eli got old enough to repeat everything we said, we stopped swearing within earshot (for the most part). There was a little road-rage incident when Peter was driving and Eli ended up...
The holidays are coming - or have they already started? Either way, it's the season for excess. Between holiday treats, baking, big dinners, drinks, parties, shopping, and logging overtime at work in preparation...
We're officially into deep fall, y'all. We had a delicious Thanksgiving, I've been cowering under the blanket pretending to watch some scary movies, we went apple picking and visited a pumpkin patch and...
making// THIS SOUP! I've made it twice in two weeks. The first time I used carrots, the second time it was made with butternut squash. The next round will feature sweet potato. It's...
Hot coffee & baked goods - just two of the good parts of fall. Everybody loves to blog about fall fashion at this time of year when the seasons start to change, and...
Last night, the boys surprised me with dinner at one of our favourite Italian restaurants. It was Eli's first time there, and we've been spending a lot of time pushing the notion that...
Running through the sprinkler is an everyday occurrence these days. making// I baked my favourite cookies last weekend, and made Thug Kitchen burritos for lunches this week, but other than that, I haven't been...
I've finally figured out a skin care routine I'm pretty happy with, so I thought I'd share it in case there are any readers who are straddling a fine line (get it?) between...
I've had a little unexpected, unplanned blog break, and I've enjoyed it. Whenever something starts to feel more like a chore than fun, I've finally learned to take a step back and leave...

HEY GUYS! It's been a minute, so as I shovel my homemade poor man's burrito bowl lunch into my mouth and spill rice alllllll up in my keyboard, allow me to update you...
Yesterday was cold, gray, and rainy, the kind of day where you just can't wait to get home and change into your favourite hoodie and not go back outside. I picked up Eli...
Now that the snow's finally melting and the temperature's above freezing, I've been getting outside for my runs lately and it feels SO GOOD. The past couple of weeks have been pretty perfect...

2010, when we first bought our house and painting and DIYs still felt like fun. Back when I first discovered Pinterest, I couldn't pin enough pallet furniture. You know what I'm talking about:...
[+] I started training for the Bluenose half marathon a few weeks ago. So far all my training has been on the treadmill. I haven't run outside since January 1, and it's killing...
Eating: more veggies - I'm on day two of salads for lunch, and I've been getting lots of vegetables in my meals lately. Not mad at it. Drinking: a ton of water. My goal...
