living my best life, experiencing the best books
My house is definitely not always as clean as I would like it to be. Both Nigel and I work full time jobs (with hour + commutes each way) and then with social commitments, going to the gym, and just wanting to sit on the couch and watch Netflix the little messes can certainly add …
The world is definitely seeming darker lately, as the sun isn't rising until I am getting to work and the temperature is already in the negatives (which is very strange for Vancouver). It is really getting to the time of year where I want to cuddle up and read with some tea or hot chocolate …

I have always loved to read. For as long as I can remember books have been a large part of my life and they have always been a place that I could go to. As an introvert I have learned to always have books with me (even to the chagrin of many of the people …
I have been learning lately that I can't do everything. Of course, I knew this before but it has been made very apparent through this month of September. I haven't written any blog posts in over a week, I really need to clean my bathroom, and my meal planner board is still showing what we …
