It has been a really long time since I have written much at all. Aside from Instagram blips here and there I really haven’t found myself with the urge to write. Perhaps a lack of inspiration, the winter blahs and a bit of just not knowing which direction I am heading have held me back….

Whiskey Tan + Wally’s new collar
Several months ago I contacted Whiskey Tan about their beautiful handmade collars! The trouble was Wally is a restless spirit who really hates being tinkered with in anyway so buckling up a nice traditional collar wasn’t a great option. Chantel, the wonderful human behind Whiskey Tan, told me to leave it with her and she…
HR Ceramics – a look at another lovely Canadian artist
Just before Christmas I happened upon HR Ceramics (Quebec) on Instagram – yes I find most things on this platform; it is my favourite. I noticed that Hanna had made this sweet country inspired mug that I wanted to buy for my country loving sister in law. I reached out through a direct message and…
Starting a new chapter – Why saying goodbye to our truck is so hard

The kids loved dressing up and trekking house to house to collect treats. This…
Days like this
The other morning I was startled awake to Max’s cries. He was sick and a mess so I sleepily stumbled in to the bedroom to assess the situation. After getting him cleaned up and settled we headed back to sleep only to be woken up by the alarm clock for school 20min later. Once again…
