The stretch that changed my life
I am not over-exaggerating when I say that this stretch, known as the slump stretch, has changed my life. Why? Because this stretch has helped me get rid of my headaches, almost for good! I have always been a headachy person, since I was about 12 and in the midst of puberty. For a few […]
FOUR
Ok, so I haven’t been posting much lately. I’ve been growing this: Which is making me look like this: 14 weeks Our fourth baby is due on Feb 11, but will probably be induced 3 weeks early like our other babies because of my antibodies, which are already quite high. Despite being my fourth pregnancy, […]
Outdoors
Frost and a lone toadstool in a bunch of weeds. The other day it was -5 degrees and very frosty at 8am when I left for work. It was 0 degrees at work for most of the day, although it did get to 2 at lunch time. When I left for work, a little later […]
Ripple week 2
After two weeks of rippling, I am still really enjoying the process. I love the relaxing, Rythmic pattern of the crochet stitches. I love it that I have something creative to do and I am getting inspired to start a new project (once this one is complete, of course!). I am about halfway […]

I have eight balls of yarn (800g) and it’s going to be 145cm by about 1m, although I crochet loosely so it might end […]
Fabric Friday… Distracted
Today I am wearing a skirt I made last summer. I have shared about this fabric before: it is bright and summery and I wear this skirt often. But that’s not really what I am writing about today. You see, I’ve been a bit distracted lately and I haven’t been delving into my fabric stash […]
Easy dinners: chicken tacos
On the days I work, it can be difficult to get dinner on the table at a reasonable hour, especially when I often get home after 4:30. We eat dinner pretty early in our house. By 5pm Elora is making dinner requests, so we really need to be preparing dinner before then, feeding her little […]
