Everyday Adventuring
I’ve been doing a reading plan on the Bible app every day since January 1st, and have been very proud of my consistency with it. It’s given me such a dopamine hit each day pressing the tick at the end, and seeing my streak go up. I started this because I’ve managed to successfully carve… Continue reading Guide Me, O Great Statistics
When we left Canada we also left a storage unit-load of stuff there! Like when we moved to Vancouver, when we moved away we thought we’d only be gone a year. It costs a lot to set yourselves up in another country, so we worked it all out and figured it made more sense to… Continue reading Shipping Our Stuff Across the World
You know the meme about how kids have to take naps and go to bed early and protest it, but that's all adults want to do? That's Maisie's and my relationship with sleep. Maisie has just point blank never liked sleep - from the first week, up to now at two and a half years… Continue reading The question I’ve been asking for over two years now: “why won’t my child sleep?”
Last week I was looking for an easy viewing home makeover type of show to watch while Tom was putting Maisie to bed and stumbled across this one on Netflix. The title and also concept of the show - the “hacks” - is infuriating, because ultimately it’s just another home makeover show but they’ve had… Continue reading Review: Hack My Home
Continued from Part 2... my reviews of the MCU produce, mostly in timeline order but a few shows I missed (my Disney+ was set up for nothing 18+ so I didn't see they were there) and things that have come out since I finished the last lot! Moon Knight ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This show has been quite… Continue reading My Marvel Reviews – Part 3
I haven’t watched many of the “traditional” Christmas films this year - I wanted a bit of variation from the norm so I watched a bunch of Netflix and Hallmark-esque movies instead. Here’s my list, and my thoughts… Falling For Christmas My first foray into this Christmas movie genre and I loved it. As a… Continue reading My Christmas Movie Watchlist of 2023
In July, friends from Vancouver were spending a month in Spain hiking the Camino del Santiago. They invited us to join them at the end, so we planned a trip to Barcelona, where they'd be flying back to Canada from - and it was a great idea! We flew with Maisie as a tiny baby… Continue reading Barcelona July 2023
I don't even know how many times I have watched the series through, but there's something mysteriously comforting about watching it in the dark, colder months. I've always loved both Lorelai and Rory - their quirks and fast-talking made them feel like my friends, and their relationship kind of felt aspirational on some level if… Continue reading Gilmore Girls: a recent re-view!
Continued from Part 1... my reviews of the MCU produce in (mostly) timeline order! Thor: Ragnarok ⭐️⭐️ Eh. This wasn't a bad film, it just wasn't a good film either. It was good to get some more screen time on Thor and the Hulk - Thor tends to be pretty funny, and we don't see… Continue reading My Marvel Reviews – Part 2
When we were in Vancouver, I went along for a few of Tom’s warmachine tournament trips - it was an opportunity for a mini break and chance to explore somewhere new. Doing this, I went to Bellevue/Seattle and also Victoria. Tom had a tournament coming up in mid-May in Cardiff so I thought it’d be… Continue reading Cardiff – Weekend Trip
