There are some people who you can barely get two words out of and then there are others who just jibber jabber away non-stop. Of course, there are always those in between on the spectrum of silent spectators to chatterboxes. What’s debatable is one’s awareness of where exactly it is that they fall on the …

Smiles Then and Now
Natural beauty at its best! Over the holiday season, my husband and I watched some of the free movie channels that were offered. As it turns out, a few of the flicks that we had taken in were set in the 80’s or 90’s—-our growing up era. You know, oldie but goodies. But not that …
Not Just Any Card
So strange, yet welcomed. Overwhelmingly so. Until now, I’d never seen it before and yet, there it was in his very own writing. My name, my husband’s name and his name on a Christmas card. From him to us. I mean, there is a chance that he had added his name to a card or …
Another Christmas Season Come and Gone…
The only ornament on our tree for Christmas. Here’s hoping that next year I can change it to, ‘Baby, it’s Hawaii outside!”. It really is hard to believe that another holiday season is coming to a close. Different as it was, it was something to look forward to and soon, there will be that familiar …
More Than Just Potato Cakes
If you are a pet lover like me, you know that we won’t stop at anything to show love unto our furry or feathery or slithery type friends. Personally, I like to stick with the first two groups of pets, whereas things that are slithery (or leathery or prickly or... ) are best left to …
Sometimes, I Can Hardly Stand Myself
Courtesy of vox.com Do you ever have those moments where you are angry and you find yourself spewing out more than a few choice words over the silliest things? To the point where it’s irrational and you know it? Well, I’m not exactly proud of it, but it’s happened to me on more than a …
To Decorate or Not to Decorate?
I’m at a quandary. Part of me wants to decorate for Christmas like we’ve never decorated before since there isn’t much else to look forward to in the upcoming holidays. Yet, there is another part of me that just wants to keep it basic. After all, no one else will be in our house except …
Favourites? Oh, Do Tell.
If you celebrate Christmas, my guess is that you have a few favourites/traditions from times past that you look forward to partaking in each season. Naturally, some things will have to look different this year given the pandemic, but I’m going to focus our efforts on those things that still can be enjoyed. Ready to …
A Nibble Here and a Nibble There
One of my all-time favourite ‘chick flicks’ is, Thelma and Louise. There’s just something about two grown women making up their minds to go on an adventure despite their personal trials and tribulations that is enticing. It doesn’t hurt that they each uncover some attributes along the way that they didn’t fully realize and in …
The Look and Feel of the Season
Christmas is just over a month now and my feelings are mixed. Many of us are in lockdown or likely soon facing it. COVID-19 numbers are reaching new heights and death tolls sadly continue to add up. Hoarding has already begun again and the reality that healthcare systems cannot keep up weights heavily. Not exactly …
