    Thrifty Thursday – Spring Shopping*

    Thursdays are so much more exciting than they ever used to be. I look forward to writing this post all week–I just hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them! :) Today is an especially fabulous Thursday as it’s my mom’s birthday! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!) For some reason I thought that I had missed it… I spent all day yesterday thinking that it was the 31st. I tried calling my mom three times last night but I couldn’t get through, and I went to bed feeling like the worst daughter ever as I hadn’t wished my mother a happy birthday. So, I called this morning in…

    A Day at Home*

    Remember my super vent-y post last night about how tired and busy and stressed I was? I had a surprise day off today. It was magical. I honestly thought that today would be even worse than yesterday, especially when we woke up to a call from the Hubster’s work at 6:05am.

I feel like I have no time for everything–if my dishes get done, the living room gets neglected. If I spend time on my course, exercise is impossible. If I take the time to make a healthy meal, I forgo something else. I just can’t do everything. And I realize that that’s okay, but I’m not all that okay with it. I hate that I didn’t even have…

    Jani’s Journey*

    Hi dears, My course load is a bit insane this week. I have about a billion things due tomorrow–and I’m already booked to work–so I’m attempting to use my time wisely tonight. I’ve already put in four straight hours tonight (with one “minor” interruption for a call to Service Canada–I love being on hold for 23 minutes, don’t you?!) and my eyes are swimming. And the best part? I’m not even done yet! WOO WOO! My dishes aren’t done, my laundry is in a heap, and I’m pretty sure that my living room just exploded. Anyway. I’m completely burnt out. All of my creative juices just went into the Applied…
