Today was one of those absolutely perfect summer days. It started with a swim and ended with a swim and there was a whole lotta fun sandwiched between those two swims. To be fair, the day wasn't all sunshine and rainbows ... There was a power outage, the well water system we use up here... Continue Reading →
5. When you want to freeze a moment in time
A few months ago, the little one requested matching bathing suits. It wasn't even a question as to whether or not I'd say yes . . . the only question was how fast could I get them shipped. I've had them tucked away for a few months now, but as we were getting ready to... Continue Reading →
4. Reading On the Dock
There's so much about this photo that I love. The first is that I had five minutes to get out a book and read for a few minutes while the kids and the Husband were swimming to a big exposed shoal just down from our swimming dock that they have whimsically christened "Goose Poop Island". The... Continue Reading →
1. When the Past Becomes the Present
My most treasured childhood memories are from the summers my family spent at a family owned resort on Lake of Bays. While the property seemed vast to me at the time - it did boast a field (where we played family games of baseball after dinner each night), a tennis court, a small beach, a... Continue Reading →
The Next 100 Days!?!
You know what I loved? I LOVED my #100daysoflookingtothesky project. I REALLY loved it. But, like I said the other day, that project has run its course. I'll never look at the sky the same way again, and I'll still reach for my phone every time I see something beautiful up above, but it's time... Continue Reading →
Finding A Rhythm for Life
I read a post the other day about finding a rhythm for the summer and it struck a chord with me. Wouldn't life be so much easier if we focused on finding a rhythm as opposed to using brute force to cram everything into our lives?? Let me elaborate . . . Lately it feels to... Continue Reading →
The End of My #the100dayproject
As I went to sleep last night, I was excited. I brought the kids to the cottage with me, and I could not wait to take the last of my 100 photos of the sky up north. I was hoping for a gorgeous sunrise photo - the kind that I seem only to be able... Continue Reading →
Up on the Watershed
Without fail, at around this time of year, I find myself listening to old Indigo Girls songs. And by listening, I mean keeping a selection of about ten songs on repeat whenever I'm in the car, usually promoting the kids to remark "Mom, you must REALLY like these songs". And the answer is yes, yes... Continue Reading →
What, If Anything, Would Compel you NOT to Eat Processed Food for One Week
I read a quote the other day by Edward Stanley that said: "Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness." And over the course of the last week, I've watched a new documentary on Netflix Sugar Coated. When exactly did the consumption of processed food, almost to the complete exclusion of...

What the Doctors Don’t Tell You About Surviving a Tumour
It’s been two weeks since I got my 5-year all-clear from my Neurosurgeon. I surprised myself by not making more of a big deal out of the occasion - in years past after my annual MRI’s have come back clean, I’ve bought myself ridiculous shoes, a bottle of champange, or something out of the ordinary...
