Five years ago my husband and I visited the Lock of Love art installation that was put up on Valentine’s Day of that year (photo from 2010 above).  We bought a lock and had it engraved so that we could put it on there and throw away the key, thus cementing our love forever (or so the story goes!).   Being …

In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits.  My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things …

A while back I saw something a friend posted on Pinterest that I really liked, so I repinned so that I would remember to make it at some point. What a cool idea! Using an old suitcase to make a bed for one of your pets.  When I saw it, I knew immediately what I was going to use. This …

Having dropped everything back in Canada to come here and falling desperately in love with my husband, the thought of leaving and going home …

Other than wishing I’d never dated this douchebag or acted like such a shithead when I first moved here, I think the thing I wish I hadn’t done in my life is waste my opportunity for a decent education by quitting college.  I went to college straight out of high school, which was a mistake, but a bigger mistake was …

This one is pretty simple, I think both are fine if used responsibly.  By drugs I mean weed, not heroin or cocaine or any of the stronger drugs.  If I had to choose the lesser of the two evils it would definitely be weed. I think the marijuana issue is blown way out of proportion and that the leaders in …
