Everyday Adventuring
In the last blog, I took you through my pregnancy guilt, and my personal background of period chaos - this time it won't be as period-based. If you didn't read the last one, either check it out here, or here's the TL;DR story so far - I always had super irregular periods, was diagnosed with… Continue reading 22 months, 21 negatives, and a positive!
I spent about an hour recently on our balcony (I always want to say garden because it’s just ingrained in me, the same way I refer to our apartment as our house) sorting out all of our potted plants. It wasn’t a big job, we have plants lining the edges of the balcony predominantly because… Continue reading Lessons from a Balcony Garden
Pregnancy really is a rollercoaster of happenings. Each week seems to bring with it a wealth of new symptoms and food cravings/aversions are a common new occurance every few days. If I have any to add to the list in later weeks, I'll update it! Aversions Chocolate. Early on, I went completely off chocolate. Which… Continue reading Food Aversions & Cravings
I decided to dedicate a section on my blog to the story of our pregnancy - it's something I'd like to be able to look back on, and I figured maybe some other people might find it interesting too...

Let's be honest, this is basically the one time of year I'm guaranteed to write a blog. Summing up the year gone by and looking forward to hopes for this new year. 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
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!
This was very interesting. I purchased it on a Canada Day sale of audiobooks by Canadian authors with not a lot of idea as to what to expect. It's the first novel/fiction book that I've listened to as well. It was read by the author which I always feels helps in audiobooks. The only other… Continue reading Fifteen Dogs – André Alexis
It took a bit to get into this having just read The Hunger Games trilogy - the writing style is quite different and in third person as opposed to being from the lead character's perspective (and it seems to jump around a little bit between Coriolanus' inner monolgue and third person which gets a bit… Continue reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – Suzanne Collins
