Everyday Adventuring
I have learned so many things listening to this book. I would be tempted to rename it An Introduction to The Indian Act. For instance it was called the Indian Act because when settlers first arrived in North America they thought they were in India (where they had already travelled) so assumed the people they… Continue reading 21 Thing You May Not Know About the Indian Act – bob Joseph
I have an American friend who, before I met Tom, told me that I should make sure to marry English. She had been on a training program in the UK when she met her British husband, and the hassle they had been through with visas since getting married was vast. I had other friends from… Continue reading Waiting for Visas Sucks!
To be honest, I couldn't help but compare this book to Amy Poehler's book and to be frank, I much preferred Yes Please! That said, this was very enjoyable. Tina tells stories from behind the scenes of SNL and 30 Rock (neither of which I've ever seen, so they're a little lost on me...) that… Continue reading Bossypants – Tina Fey
I’m embarking on a new adventure this year - I will be studying for a masters degree! A Master of Arts in Theological Studies with the concentration in World Christianity to be precise. I wanted to share a bit of the background behind this journey, and take you along for the ride... It's not something… Continue reading I’m Going Back to University!
My alarm buzzes at 5.25am. It takes a few minutes to rouse from my slumber, but it’s not a dread I wake up with, more anticipation. I get out of bed, quietly, trying not to wake my sleeping husband. I go to the loo, have a quick swill of mouthwash then retrieve yesterday’s clothes that… Continue reading It’s 5.28, who is awake?
Since arriving in Vancouver 53 weeks ago, I've got quite used to all the subtle differences of living 4518 miles away from where I grew up.
However, a while ago Tom and I were noticing little differences, and I thought it might be fun to share some of them!

Isn't it funny how in every season of life, no matter what we have going on, we feel so busy? Even if life is relatively quiet and things are plodding along, we still struggle to catch a minute to do the things we've been meaning to do and often leave them half done... For me,… Continue reading Half Done?
Right now, I am sitting in our Poang by an ajar balcony door with my feet stewing in green tea, so I figured it's as good a time as any to write a long over due post! No, it's not a new health fad (I've not become one of those Vancouverites). I have a blister… Continue reading Spring has Sprung!
Christmas 2018 has been and gone, and we're into a new year! Before Christmas, at a young adults lunch at church we were chatting about what we were all doing over the holiday - lots of people are not from the city so visit family back home, some are more local so spend time with… Continue reading Christmas; Past, Present & Future
