Everyday Adventuring
With all the restrictions around from Covid I wasn't sure if I'd be able to have a baby shower, especially not in person. One of my friends reached out to me asking me if I wanted her to organise something for me, so we tentatively booked a date (May 8th - week 30), hoping that… Continue reading My Baby Shower!
Time is flying by at the moment, so I thought I'd do a general overview of the second trimester! I've shared some specifics of symptoms and food cravings/aversions in separate posts so you can read about those things there. My mum and sister bought me a My Bump & Me book to fill in as… Continue reading Second Trimester
One very exciting piece of information coming from this pregnancy, besides the obvious, is that I have been de-labelled penicillin allergic. When I was a kid I had an allergic reaction to penicillin so for the rest of my life I have had to write the allergy on forms, during school I wore a bracelet… Continue reading Penicillin Allergy No More!
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!
I'm not usually one for opting in to a photo shoot, but I decided to book one with a friend for some maternity shots! I generally find being in front of a camera really awkward. When Tom and I got married, hiring a great photographer to capture the highlights of our day was really important… Continue reading Maternity Photoshoot
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!
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!
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
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!
