After a very long day in Venice on our first day, we got a good night’s sleep and got up early the next day to watch the sun come up on my 40th birthday. Yup, that’s right… I spent my 40th birthday at sea on a Mediterranean cruise. I know, rough life, right? We got up, watched the sun rise, …

When I looked at my calendar this morning, I shuddered – It’s Friday the 13th, agh! All it takes is things going horribly wrong on one of those days and you fear them forever. Even if you aren’t that superstitious, there’s still that niggly little feeling in the back of your head. I had it, I won’t lie… The Mongolian …

Before we went to the states, Xander said that he wanted to have proper pancakes, so I went online and looked up “Best pancakes in Pittsburgh” and the results were unanimous – Pamela’s! It just so …

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 …

I’m Canadian. It goes without saying that people assume that we glide out of the womb on ice skates. Girls doing a fancy little twirl and boys ready for a fight, right? Well, I guess that’s sort of true. Starting at a very young age, we are put on ice skates and are taught to stand on our own two …

One thing I didn’t mention in my recent post about my trip to the south of France was that while I was down there, I finally got to swipe another item off my 101 list! To swim in the Mediterranean! It has been on my list during two of my previous trips but we just never did get around to …

So I’ve been getting a few mails asking where the heck I am and why I haven’t been at least doing my monthly updates. Well, I’m still alive and everything is great… so please don’t worry!

Yes, Ridonkulously is a word, really… would I lie to you? I’m still completely and utterly addicted to Intagram (where you can find me under the name Canadutch, or just look here on Statigram) and Pixel has quickly become one of my favorite photo subjects. I realized as I was uploading a photo of her this morning, that she may …
