I Built a Book Nook
But first, a disclaimerāthis post isnāt sponsored and all opinions are my own. With that out of the wayā¦ Iāve been intrigued since I first saw NookTales book nooks in our local Discovery Hut. It just makes senseāgood books take us to different worlds, so why wouldnāt we add tiny worlds to our bookshelves? We…

Photo Diary – Drumheller Hoodoos
After our trip to The Royal Tyrell Museum, we drove out to the Willow Creek Hoodoos. Hoodoos are groups of naturally occurring stone columns with caprocks. At Willow Creek, they range from 1-3m in height, and span 11 hectares. Though the Willow Creek trail isnāt very long, the sights make up for it. Some visitors…

Photo Diary – Royal Tyrell Museum
Drumheller and the surrounding areas have been on our bucket list forever, and we finally visited in early November. Of course, we soon learned thereās just too much to explore in a single day and weāll have to return. My dino-nerd daughter would have it no other way. Our first stop was The Royal Tyrell…

Fly Free-Stained Glass Colouring Book
One of my lifelong goals has been to illustrate colouring books, but itās the kind of thing we dream about but put off because lifeās 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
Itās trending on social media, but I can hook you up if you havenāt seen aurora pics (gasp!). Weāve 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 Iāve seen pinks. The biggest bonus, though, was how early…

Our First DIY Halloween Costume
In the spirit of reconnecting our creativity, Kayla and I decided to DIY her Halloween costume this year. She’s (still) obsessed with the How to Train Your Dragon series, an obsession that has just grown as we approach the end of the last book. So, she wanted to be Astrid for Halloween. We researched some…

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. š I’m in a season of learning. My current path centres around finding myself in the chaos of the…

Summer Vacation Pics
We’re super thankful to have had the opportunity to travel to the UK again this year. We got to catch up with family, sightsee with Kayla, and have an absolutely lovely time. And since our brand new passports cut the need for travel visas and our connecting flight brought us to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, we…

Revive – Instagram Challenge
In a sunken hollow beneath myriad dust bunnies and cobwebs lies the bony remains of my author account on Instagram. My blog proves I can revive dead things (I spent loads of XP points on healing in the past few years š¤), so it’s only fair that I attempt the same revival on my author…
