Vroom Vroom*
Well, I’ve finally done it. More accurately, I’m finally doing it. I am finally learning how to drive a manual car. I know, I know… this may seem like nothing newsworthy, but like my passport, it’s just been one of those things that has been sitting on my to-do list forever. You’ll remember that the Hubster and I bought a truck about a year and a half ago, just before we purchased our house. I have always loved trucks, and was thrilled that I had finally awoken his inner Northern Ontario-ness when he announced that he wanted one to be our second vehicle. Initially I went with him to see…

Baby Rolls*
Four months. Where on earth did it go? Yesterday was my little Ruby’s 4 month birthday, and we celebrated by having naps and going shopping. (I may or may not have purchased a pink jean mini-skirt for her. Don’t judge me.) She is growing like crazy and is learning new things all the time… but as she gains her baby rolls, it’s time for me to lose mine. I’ve used this blog as a platform to push myself to lose weight more than once over the course of the (almost) six years that I’ve been writing here. My greatest success was the year Peeah got married, and I came within…

Looking Forward: 2012*
**I actually wrote this post yesterday, but wordpress decided to be a jerk and delete half of it when I tried to submit it. I just didn’t have it in me to write it all out again last night, so you’ll get double the post love from me today! :) Happy New Year! I hope you all had a fabulous evening celebrating the end of 2011 last night, and that you’re all enjoying the first bit of 2012 so far. The Hubster and I actually did make it to midnight (much to my own surprise) and spent a perfectly lovely evening ringing in the new year with Hockey Night in…

Have I Killed my Curls?
I’ve been thinking a lot about my hair lately. I realize that that probably makes me sound incredibly shallow, but I can’t help it. I always hit a point where my hair has been in a similarish style for several months and I start thinking about ways I can change it up to make it more exciting. I went to Btown last weekend to see my family while the Hubster went camping. Spart had a hair appointment on Saturday, and since we have the same stylist, I decided to go with her to see if I could get my bangs trimmed at the same time. As the stylist started working…

On Honest Writing*
Sometimes I can’t decide what type of blogger / writer I want to be. I continually go through these different phases trying to “find myself” as a writer in this little happy place. There are days when I’m so full of ideas that writing seems effortless and everything just flows from my fingertips. Then there are days when even rehashing the events of the previous few hours seems impossible. And then I have days where I sit and think about what I’m writing, and while it takes me a little longer, I end up with a post like this one–something that I am immensely proud of, even with its imperfections.…
