well now...that was a very long time...


I've always been myself here.
No reason to pretend to be someone else now.
The people who know me and love me anyway...
they read this blog.
They know what's been going on.


To be perfectly honest,
I have to tell you that my Nikon and I
have been taking a bit of a break from each other.
I still love her very much, but I've been
spending waayyyy too much time with my phone.
I'm just keeping it real with you all...
hope you don't mind that I will share a few
instagrams from over the last few months.


Our little family took off on a road trip to PEI.
I fell in love.
Must have been the salty air...
or the lobster rolls
or the red sand
or the rolling pastures.
I LOVE PEI

Emma returned back to York for her second year.
I made a trip down to the city and the two of us
took in a night with Jann.
I'm only good in the city for about 21 hours
then I have to get the heck out of there.
I'm always thankful to come home.


After having one of the weirdest summers ever,
Oliver and I are trying to keep our chins up.
We really didn't get the required dose of sunshine.
It's been called the summer that never came.
We might have to get good at quick daily winter walks.


I'm also going to schedule more friend time.
It's nice to have a reason to put pants on you know?
Meeting up at little coffee shops...chatting over scones.
I need that.
Call me?


I am starting a master list.
Things that must get done around here.
Might even crack open a paint can.
We've been here 8 years...and it is starting to show.



Oliver will be my steady mate...
along with my phone of course.
I would like to blog more, honestly I would.
Let me know if you're on instagram.
I'm there everyday!

longest. winter. ever.



i'm still here.
surviving this darn nasty winter so far.


every march i get a bit of hope
that spring is on it's way.




this year the weather man is
telling us to be prepared
for more snow.
ugh.

so i'll just keep buying
pretty flowers until the ones
in the garden start popping up.


this winter, for the first time,
i put seed out for the birds...
and their friend.



they've appreciated the food
and i've loved the company.
