My Beautiful Mess
Well my beauty, you made it. Today you leave behind the days of childhood and begin your next adventure. 18! Your life begins to become your own now and although you're likely feeling completely overwhelmed in this moment, at the sheer capacity of what you believe is ahead of you - I promise you, you're [...]
Like most, I spent last December engrossed in all things Christmas, while setting new shiny goals for 2020. I had high hopes for this year - big lofty goals that I honestly had no idea how I was going to make happen - just the unequivocal knowledge that I would.In the last hours of 2019, [...]
Chapter 35. A brand new page, in a brand new chapter. I can't say that I'm happy to see 34 end; she was good to me - as was 33. In all honesty, so far the thirties are turning out to be my favourite. Not because they've necessarily been the easiest, but they have left [...]
When I switched my major to English, I was so ignorant to the unwritten rule. I mean, it's not like you were handed a memo . . . I was the girl who brought a store bought dessert to the party. The one who ate carbs and enjoyed a diet soda without shame. The one [...]
I need shares in H&M. No joke! I'm absolutely in love with their new spring arrivals and despite 2020s lock-down status, I'm excited to refresh my wardrobe.

It was several weeks ago that I shot a message to my soon-to-be sister-in-law asking if she was up for trying her hand at Chase the Ace. For those of you who aren't familiar with the game, here's how it works. You purchase tickets, which get dumped into a large container or drum. Once ticket [...]
With smart phones, compact cameras, and access to DSLRs - we are never without a way to snap a photo of whatever strikes our fancy. As a child who grew up sneaking her mother's 110 camera to take photos of random things around the house, I can't deny my love of all things photography. And [...]
Well hello there! Many of you have been checking in on a daily basis, no doubt wondering where in the world I had disappeared to. On May 26th, Vic and I were involved in a rear-end collision. We were headed to grab a little pizza I had called in for supper and while stopped at [...]
