The Best Intentions*
Ah, it was a summer of good intentions. As the school year wound down last year, I made such big plans for the summer. Write every day! Work on my book! Tackle a bajillion house projects! Decorate everything! Buy new dresses! Read every day! Run a race! …but I got pregnant instead. :) It has been the laziest, most relaxing two months I’ve had in years. And I needed them. July was spent laying in bed or on the couch most of the day, trying to ward off waves of nausea with gingerale and crackers. All those house projects I wanted to do (remove wallpaper, paint downstairs bathroom, scrape paint…

17 Weeks*
When I first announced that I was pregnant almost a month ago, I promised that I would write a post explaining why we waited so long to tell everyone. And I did. …but I didn’t post it. The first three months of my pregnancy were… hard. I was physically exhausted and dealing with bouts of nausea, but I was also on a bit of an emotional roller coaster.

A Concert & A Wedding*
This weekend was a bit insane. On Friday night the Hubster and I traveled downtown to The Four Seasons to see Colm Wilkinson. I have been listening to Colm sing since I was a little girl, and I have long loved his voice. I was so excited to go. A few years ago The Hubs bought me the 10th anniversary edition of Les Miserables with Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean and it’s just… magical. So, this year he found out that Colm was coming to Toronto and he bought me tickets as his anniversary gift to me. (Isn’t he just the loveliest Hubster??) I’ve had these tickets for MONTHS, and…

On Growing Lemons*
Hi dears. :) I know I’ve been a little absent of late. I traveled to the Great White North and promised to write every day… …and then read all seven Harry Potter books in three weeks instead. (I’m not an addict, I just like to finish a series once I start. More on this soon.) Things have also been a little busy around here. The Hubster is still hard at work building our beautiful new deck. He had a glorious reunion weekend with some high school friends, then his Dad came out for an unexpected visit. I’ve been reading Harry Potter night and day, and I am growing some beautiful…
