The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
This year’s Christmas baking was a low key affair. We’d decided to do our baking on Friday, because we had a party to go to on Saturday and wanted to bring some baked goods with us. But then my sister got booked into a meeting all afternoon because Friday was still technically a workday and […] →Read more
So after more than a quarter of a century of wearing makeup, I recently learned that this symbol exists: It’s not on all makeup, but when it’s there, it’s a symbol of how long the make-up is good for once you open it. This mascara is good for 6 months after I opened it. And […] →Read more
So remember like eleventy billion years ago when I did that mindfulness course? I haven’t really done any mindfulness practice since then, but it’s always been in the back of my mind that I probably should ((Which is quite possibly the least mindful thing a person has ever said!

On the weekend, Scott and I decided to check out the Christmas lights at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam. We’d heard they go pretty all out with the lights and I have to say, they did not disappoint! We didn’t get many pictures, choosing instead to just enjoy the walk around the lake – to do […] →Read more
So speaking of books, I have been absolutely pathetic at reading this year. I just looked on Good Reads to see how close to my goal of reading 17 books this year and discovered to my dismay that I have read a mere *two* books this year. TWO! I mean, I feel like I must have […] →Read more
