A New Way Of Seeing Things

I woke up this morning and had a bit of an epiphany about my career as a blogger. Over the years, especially as a small business owner, I’ve had to often follow my instincts or guess when it comes to major decisions.

With little to no guidance, and being that I’m an emotional person, in doing so this process led me to make some mistakes. From reactionary tweets (we’ve all been there), to knee jerk reactions to feel as though I’d been wronged, I think we all understand that it is when we make mistakes that we learn the most about ourselves.

But amid the current reality we all live, maybe it’s time to accept that the past is behind us, and it’s time to move forward with a new sense of compassion and understanding. That’s how I’m trying to see the world and be with myself, my family, and the blog.

I vividly remember every year going with my mom to shop for the things that I needed to get the school year started. When I started my post secondary education in Ottawa (let’s not talk about when that was because it makes me feel old) it was about equipping myself with the tools I needed to be the best student I could be. Best Buy Canada had recently opened a new location in the city core, and it was so exciting to me to know that the items they had on the shelves got me excited. So inspired by this nostalgia, I decided to share some of my favourite Back to School items from Best Buy Canada that I hope might inspire you in the same way. And yes, many of them are on my personal wish list, even if I’m not going back to school this fall! Continue reading “Wishing I Was A Student Again”

Ten Photos You Won’t Believe are #NoFilter

I am so happy that Catherine recently traveled to Portugal for us. Having been on her bucket list for years, we were lucky enough to be invited by the tourism boards of The Azores & Madeira to visit for ten days. Luckily for us, we also received a Huawei P20 from Huawei Mobile Canada in advance of her trip. The challenge for Catherine was to take photos of her trip only using the leica camera on the device and not edit them in any way. Are you ready to have your mind blown? This phone will change the way you think about mobile devices in Canada.
