Summer ’22 Bucket List
With Victoria Day weekend, May Long, May 2-4 whatever you want to call it, summer in Canada has officially begun, even if it is still cool and wet and this whole summer is predicted to be (good for wildfire reduction, not so great for summer fun). So it’s time to think about all the things…

Northern Diaries: One Year in NWO
This post is a bit delayed, I haven’t really figured out yet how I want to go about it. I also don’t really know how I feel about this past year. I arrived in Sioux Lookout on March 14th, last year. There was no snow on the ground, and it was pretty consistently above 0…

(Hungover) Saturday Scroll: 01/01/2022
Happy New Years Day! Welcome to 2022. I hope you had a great night, and that you are surviving this morning. Or that you are chilling after a night in with a face mask, take out and in bed by 10 pm. I actually got a hotel room so that I could come down for…

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…

Saturday Scroll: 12/11/2021
Cute stocking stuffers. Why do long drives feel so good? I have wanted to do a sleepover at Ikea ever since I saw that Kelsey from The Sorry Girls got to do one as part of an influencer trip. Well, a bunch of random Danish people got to do that after a snowstorm and it…

Simple, Hand-Me-Down Decorating for Christmas
I love Christmas, I love how people decorate for it, I love the parties that are planned, the opportunities to dress up, the food, the thought put into gifts that people get, the music. Heck, I even like the Christmas Eve service with the candlelight singing of Silent Night, and I don’t go to church.…
