Mid-Week Procrastination: Earth Week Edition
We’re sticking to a theme this week (which means that next week’s MWP post will be super full of fun, random stuff- hint, hint). But the ultimate Earth Week procrastination item would be to grab some shoes, a garbage bag, and a set of tongs and a container (if you live in an area where…

Earth Week: Low Waste House Cleaning
I am a fastidious house cleaner. Maybe excessively so, I just find it so much more pleasant, but it has not escaped my desire to use less plastic. I think I have made great strides here, but there are still areas I can work on. I also don’t think that there is any increased costs…

Obsessions: April 17
Normally I write this post on Friday nights, but the news of our lockdown being extended made me not do anything last night. I agree that lockdown should be extended, we need further public health measures because this is the worst the pandemic has ever been in Ontario. Our new cases daily, our hospitalizations daily,…

Quarantine Round 4 Activities
Well Ontario. We’re nearly a week in to Quarantine/Lock-down/Stay-at-home/Flatten the curve number 4 here. And given that this is probably the worst wave that we have seen yet that when this stay-at-home order expires it will not be releasing us straight into normal pre-COVID life. So I need some things to do. In the past…

Obsessions: April 10
I can’t remember if I said it on here last week, but I was starting to feel a little useless at work, like I wasn’t doing enough or that I had gotten through the intro/transition work a bit too quickly and that they didn’t have anything for me to do. However, this week I am…

Mid-Week Procrastination: Travel bitterness, being “nice”, NFTs, and hiking
Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a good week so far and that it’s not one of those short weeks that feels like an extra long week for you. And if you are reading this from outside Canada or because it’s not actually a stat holiday on Monday and you had to work Monday,…

March Empties
This series is to help keep me accountable in my journey to reduce my single-use plastic consumption and Project Pan progress. This empties post is a little different. I don’t have a nice big class photo of everything this month because I couldn’t bring myself to pack up and haul what is basically garbage across…

Sunset Country Hikes I want to do
So I learned this past weekend that this region of Northwestern Ontario is called Sunset Country and I just love that so much. The sunsets here are truly stunning every single night so it makes so much sense. Note: the blog post’s featured image is actually from the Eagle’s Nest Trail in Calabogie, Ontario. I…

What I read in March
I hadn’t thought that I had read that much in March, what with the new job and the big move and all. But I read 4 books! Only three are pictured in the stack because one was my parents and I obviously didn’t want to take it with me. That’s also why Louise Penny is…
