Let’s Get Real For a Moment, Shall We?

It’s Monday morning on a holiday long weekend and I’m sitting quietly at our new dinning room table. Julio is in Ottawa for a few days, leaving later tonight. Canela is happily sleeping (read snoring) beside on her bed him upstairs and I feel at peace. It’s not a feeling I can often embody – to feel calm, and safe. The life that we live separately in the name of starting our family isn’t an easy one. In fact it takes its toll on me in more ways than I share and many days I wake up sad before I find my own happiness. I guess you could say I woke up in a bit of a pensive state of mind – which could be attributed to October 11th being #NationalComingOutDay.

Feeling Like You’re Going Nowhere? Why not go Somewhere instead?

Lately the seasonal change and rainy weather have been taking their toll on me. The summer and early fall foliage fed my soul and creative energies. As of late, as I chatted about recently in this post, I’ve been feeling a bit stuck. I think the upcoming colder months and the need to disconnect haven’t helped, and I finally realized maybe it’s time I did something about it and went somewhere to reset and refocus.

Things To Be Thankful For

When it comes to (Canadian) Thanksgiving and the fall season, I am often reminded that it’s time to focus on the things I do have and not that which I don’t. I have my health. I have an amazing job. I have a blog and online presence that I love creating content for. I have a loving spouse. I have my health. I have family that loves me. And I’ve got lots of reasons to smile this season. In hopes of spreading some love and positivity into the world I thought I’d share some thing to be thankful for.

It’s Time To Start Thinking About Warm Coats Again

While most of us are finally getting settled into the idea of sweater weather, any good Canadian knows that the colder weather is going to get much colder in no time at all. While I sit at the new dinning room table in our home in Ottawa, I am mulling over the photos from a recent event I wasn’t able to join Julio for in Toronto. I don’t often go so far as to bring fashion previews to you all here on the blog, but I was so in love with what I saw that I realized this may be the time to start thinking about to really make a statement with your wardrobe this season. Here’s how I am hoping to if all goes well – after all my birthday is just around the corner!
