Saturday Scenes: Family is Everything

Saturday Scenes: Family is Everything

Spending this last week and a half with my family has easily been the best Christmas present I’ve received this year. Heck, maybe even the best ever. Even better than the year Santa brought me a Dear Diary. Even better than my tamagotchi. Common, you had one too, right? The elves worked some magic that year,…

What Your Heart is Telling You (and how to act on it)

What Your Heart is Telling You (and how to act on it)

Why am I here? What am I meant to be doing? What gift have I been given to share with the world? Although these are some massively scary questions, we owe it to ourselves to live the life we were born to live and I truly believe that our hearts know what that truth is….

Love What You Do

Love What You Do

I’m so happy that Dawn from Passport to Prana reached out to me and got me connected to the yoga community here in Montreal. Getting back to my practice feels so right during this time of transition. And, in it all, I’ve gotten a chance to meet quite the inspirational lady! Today, Dawn shares her…

Apple Picking and Gluten-free Apple Crisp (oat-free and nut-free)

Apple Picking and Gluten-free Apple Crisp (oat-free and nut-free)

One of the things I realized when I was back in Alberta a couple of weeks ago is that change takes time to accept and meld into our lives. It’s okay to dig our heels in the mud once in awhile and wish things were easier, cry a bunch, and hibernate from the world. Then,…

A Tour of Our New Home (before + afters)

A Tour of Our New Home (before + afters)

Our move is officially complete! It feels good not to be tripping over boxes, getting packing tape stuck to my socks, or fishing for my underwear out of a large suitcase. Remind me to never move again. It’s so much work! All of our friends and family have been begging us for pictures of the…

Moving Progress + Publishing Time on the Blog

We received a call late Thursday night letting us know that our boxes and furniture would be arriving Saturday. Woohoo! I rounded up the dogs early Saturday morning for our sunrise walk and was greeted to a bouquet of wild flowers on our door step. We have some of the sweetest neighbors! Not only did…

Bonjour Montréal: Our First Day

Bonjour Montréal: Our First Day

The last moments that we spent with my family were the hardest. I cried, and smiled, laughed, and cried again. It was quite the emotional roller coaster. Instead of keeping strong and pushing myself through this change, I’ve been letting myself feel everything. When I’m sad, I cry. When I’m happy, I smile. Better to…

Delicous Food at Mom and Dad’s House

Delicous Food at Mom and Dad’s House

Once the moving truck drove off with our things, Kevin, Pebbles, Lexy and I made the one hour drive over to my parent’s house where we planned to stay before our flight to Montreal a couple of days later. Last time I stayed at my parents house for an extended period of time was when…

On the Move

On the Move

It’s all fun and games until a gigantic moving truck shows up at your house, spends all day loading up your belongings and heads out into the sunset. Huh, I guess we’re actually doing this. I woke up at 5am on Tuesday morning (the day of the big move) so that I could spend a…
