It’s Already Fucking Winter
It snowed on Thursday. IT SNOWED ON THURSDAY. It’s October AND IT SNOWED ON THURSDAY! I am trying to be accepting. This is a thing that occurs in Canada, especially in Northern Ontario. This is the land of snowsuits under Halloween costumes. But every year that I have lived here it hasn’t snowed until about…

December in Review
This may have been my busiest December ever. In university I always assumed that after uni December would be a nice relaxing month, because you wouldn’t have exams anymore that you needed to be studying for on top of Christmas prep. That was an incorrect assumption. I was home for 6 days this month between…

What I’m Buying in December
It is so interesting to make this post this month, because despite it being December, famously one of the spendiest months of the year. I’m not planning on buying that much? Of course, I didn’t put the Christmas presents I’m buying in the collage (I know my sister sometimes reads this, I don’t think anyone…

December in Review
The prettiest snowfall on the 1st of December Such an opportunity to lean in to it and just call them BieberBalls like the rest of the nation did. And then I wrapped it up by driving down to Guelph on the 31st, I’m staying the night here. It’s much less of a social visit than…

Friday Favorites: A Week to Rest
This is going to be a weird one, not following my normal format of Favorite Instagram, TV/Movie, Podcast, etc. because I haven’t been consuming nearly as much digital media this week. I read 5 books, hung out with my family, threw up watching the new Spiderman movie (sorry to everyone in the 2:40 showing at…

Saturday Scroll: 12/18/2021
When this goes live, I will hopefully be well on the road on the way home. Editing Laura: I was on the road, that’s why this isn’t going up until Sunday evening. I didn’t finish this because I got busy packing Friday night, drove all day Saturday, and just arrived at my parents like an…

Northern Diaries: Plans for Christmas and New Years in Southern Ontario
I am so excited to be heading home and to bop around Southern Ontario for 17 days (well four of those will be driving to and from Southern Ontario). I am a bit worried that Ms. Omicron will ruin this for me, but I am keeping my vaccinated fingers and toes crossed in hope. I…
