Fly Free-Stained Glass Colouring Book
One of my lifelong goals has been to illustrate colouring books, but it’s the kind of thing we dream about but put off because life’s too busy. Then, in the heart of lockdown, I actually did it. I illustrated a faux stained glass colouring book featuring different birds. I was ecstatic. Goal completed. But then…

October Auroras
It’s trending on social media, but I can hook you up if you haven’t seen aurora pics (gasp!). We’ve seen the northern lights a time or two since moving to Canada, but never quite as bright as last week. This was also the first time I’ve seen pinks. The biggest bonus, though, was how early…

My Least Favourite Trope: Resurrection
Friends, this was a close race. Just as I have a long list of adored tropes, the ones I don’t like are myriad. I don’t read Dubcon and I hate Born Sexy Yesterday. But the most commonly recurring trope that has the power to ruin a book or series for me until the end of…

Calgary Stampede 2024
I’m stoked to share our photo diary from the 2024 Calgary Stampede with you! Can I get a yahoo? We had such a good time at the greatest outdoor show on earth! This year, the attractions included hot Cheeto-pickle pizzas, cheeseburger-flavoured ice cream, watermelon burgers, mac & cheese popcorn poutine, and whipped lemonade (among others).…

Game Review – Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a rogue-lite action platformer with fluid, ever-changing settings and a slew of unlockable weapons and skills, in a ‘just one more run’ game model. In simpler terms, it’s one of those perfect storms that keeps you on the couch, controller in hand, for hours. Before we get to the review—all opinions expressed…

Review: Rogue Adventure
I don’t often review games on the blog, but I might try my hand at more of these in the future, especially since I adore this game! But first, a quick disclaimer. As with all my reviews, I don’t receive compensation for my thoughts or opinions (I’ll state it clearly if that ever changes). I…

Quick ADHD Resources
Adult ADHD diagnosis is a wild ride. When I tell people about my diagnosis, I typically get one of two replies. It’s either, “Everyone is a little ADHD,” or, “Everyone has ADHD these days.” Meanwhile, the diagnosis has been the answer to all the questions I’ve been asking my entire life. It’s wild to suddenly…

2024 Goals
We’re officially in that strange transition period where our fingers always go for the 3 instead of the 4 when we type the year. 🤣 Hello, folks, and welcome to 2024! I hope it’s a good one. As always, I’d like to start my yearly blogging journey with some goals. This post will come to…

2023 Wrapped
I’m ecstatic to be here with you, folks! We made it, almost to the end of 2023, and this will be my final post of the year. For the next few weeks, I’m planning to write, hang out with family and friends, write, chillax, bake delicious treats, and oh, ah, write. 😁 I wish you…

Instagram Challenge Results
The TL;DR version of this post: I’d planned to upload photos to my Instagram page every day in September, but that didn’t happen. That said, I don’t see this as a failure! Okay, let me explain. 😊 I’m in a season of learning. My current path centres around finding myself in the chaos of the…
