Everyday Adventuring
Health officials launched the Restart BC plans on Tuesday which have given us the steps out of the lockdowns and circuit breaker that we've been in since November (ish)! Vaccination bookings are now open to all aged 12+ across BC too, and I got my first shot this week. It's been a funny old ride… Continue reading Vaccinations and Lockdown Lifting!
One of the regular blood tests pregnant women are offered in around week 23-28 is a gestational diabetes check. I am taking all the tests and following all the suggestions the midwives are giving so I moseyed on over to the blood clinic after my final exam of the semester. I have been using the… Continue reading Gestational Diabetes – Tests & Results!
I'm writing this post at 25 weeks, so am actually looking back and reviewing all the symptoms I've had to date rather than gradually updating as each new symptom arises... which I will do if I get any more! I'm writing a separate post for food aversions/cravings, so check that out too! Symptoms I've experienced:… Continue reading Pregnancy Symptoms!

So let's jump in... 2020 held a lot of opportunity! I applied to go to grad school, and in September began studying for… Continue reading Annual Report
In January, Tom and I spent a weekend in Victoria - it was our second trip, the first was with Tom's family in April 2019. The reason for our trip was mixed - Tom was playing in a Warmachine tournament, and I just wanted to go along for the ride! We had our first mixed… Continue reading A Weekend in Victoria
I thought it would be really interesting to work out the price difference from living in the UK compared to living in Vancouver. I started gathering the prices and working on the post, but got a bit lost in a bunch of maths trying to work out percentages, so dropped the post... But having done… Continue reading Price Comparison
A verse in the Bible that I truly believe shows God's character - His goodness - is Isaiah 40:18-21; “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history.Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.Wild… Continue reading 24Hr Pioneer Vision
