Celebrating Me. Celebrating You.
Dear 16-year-old me, You’ve got a pretty sweet life and right now it feels like the whole world could be yours. After coming back from a four-month exchange in Germany I know you’re consumed by conflicting feelings of wanderlust and wondering if you have what it takes to make it in the much smaller world of [...]
Family dynamics are odd. I grew up thinking that I had a very typical, North American family – two parents, three siblings, a dog and a couple of cats. My parents weren’t divorced and I didn’t grow up with step-siblings. My dad worked and my mom stayed at home for at least part of my [...]
Source: writeclickscrapbook.com via Robin on Pinterest I came across this quote on Pinterest not long after I started blogging. As is often the case, especially with something new, I wondered whether I was good enough. Was I a good enough writer? Could I do this whole blogging thing? Seeing this quote was a good [...]
On February 3, I took a pregnancy test, in the way you do when you’ve sort of been trying to get pregnant and you sort of hope you might be but don’t really think so (because, after all, why would this be the month when so many others weren’t?). Which is to say casually. I [...]
I rise in the darkness, the stars and early commuters my only companions on the road. If I go now, I can be done before the busy day begins. The building is already starting to come alive as I walk through it. Through large glass doors, past a coffee shop and down an unassuming hallway [...]
I came across this video recently and it’s one of those things that just makes me smile. There’s really nothing I can say about it that doesn’t come across in beautiful, musical wordlessness here, so I’ll just leave you with this video and one question: What beauty have you left in the world lately? [...]
Before I even got pregnant, my husband and I decided I would go back to work after maternity leave and he would stay home with the kid(s). This was a perfect solution for us, because I was pretty sure I didn’t want to stay at home and he was pretty sure he did. We were [...]
I totally believe certain messages appear when we need them to appear, if only we pay attention. Some of the ones I’ve received have come in emails, on signs, and random tweets I see as I scroll past. A lot of them cross my path on Pinterest. And some of them show up on Facebook. [...]
One of the things about moving to a new city is that I’ve had to work out the best route to take to get to work. This has been interesting for two reasons: I have almost no sense of direction. This is a much bigger city and I’m farther away from work, which means there [...]
Happy New Rear! So goes the greeting on the Spanx website. I appreciate the sentiment, I really do. I’m just not sure it’s for me. I’ve seen other bloggers mention putting on their Spanx before heading out for a night on the town. Even The Pioneer Woman shimmies into Spanx in order to look good. [...]
