I think I am currently in chrysalis mode. It’s probably got a lot to do with the blah time of year- we’re at the very end of February, and although the promise of spring beckons, I realistically (in Canada) know it’s going to be a while until we can shed the layers...

I confess, I wasn’t going to do a Fabulous Friday post for today as it’s been a bit of a difficult week- but here I am! Yesterday was a day of sad farewells in the Thomas family, and hearts were heavy no matter how many miles separated us. But two sweet things...

This Fabulous Friday, love is still in the air (leftover from Valentines Day!) so we are going to take a peek at a few of my favorite things- with love in mind. In theory, this could have been a REALLY long post, but don’t worry, I’ve reigned myself in! Hopefully, I...

Oh Valentines Day! An occasion dedicated to expressing one’s love and affection in the form of whispered words, soppy cards, and sentimental gifts. A candlelit dinner for two, a romantic stroll, swaying to soft music… it all sounds good to me! But I’m just a hopeless...

ANIMAL PRINT- adore it, detest it, think it’s crass or classy, like it or not- it’s out there! I recently purchased these little boots (an incredible bargain- of course!), which got me thinking about why we fearlessly don ourselves in faux wild animal:    ...

I am not a skier. Not even a little one. Which is kind of a shame seeing as how we live right by a world class ski resort! My only real skiing experience was way back in the day when I was 18 years old and went on a “Christian ski vacation” in Switzerland. Let’s just...

The kitchen was not always my friend. Within its walls, I travelled through stages of ignorance (I knew NOTHING about cooking as a newlywed), exasperation (I had no time or inclination to cook after a full day in work), exhaustion (that would be the toddler years),...

We hadn’t been married long, and my culinary skills were minimal at best, but I desperately wanted to impress our first dinner guests (other than family, who don’t really count as they eat anything out of obligation.) I had carefully planned a three-course dinner,...

This has absolutely nothing to do with a certain book series, and everything to do with nail polish! (I can almost hear you sigh with relief!) If you already have grey in your nail polish collection, I know you’re currently giving me glossy-nailed thumbs up, but if...
