Good morning friends! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Okay, I know... I am a day late, but we did not have the chance to talk yesterday so better late than never! 🙂 I hope that you had a truly beautiful day with friends, family, and friends who you think should be family. Andy and I celebrated up here in the… Continue reading Gather ‘Round
Hello friends! It is good that you are here. Today, we are changing things up a bit. (WHAT?!) Yes. I am writing to you this morning from the bustling city of Winnipeg, Manitoba! I decided to head south to visit my husband for a few days, who has been flying out of Winnipeg for the last week… Continue reading It’s a Bird. It’s a Plane. It’s… Me?
Hello friends! Here in the north we are beginning this day with a fresh blanket of white, laid so beautifully by last night's snow fall. As I sit and sip my morning tea, I cannot help but think about how special it is to watch the sunrise over this winter wonderland. Ah yes, it is wonderful… Continue reading Travel Tip: Minimalism

It is Wednesday. Wednesdays are smack dab in the middle of the week and, for those of you who are not familiar with the popular term that has been coined over the years, it is "Hump Day!"

It is -20 degrees outside, the days are short, and there is still plenty of snow blanketing the ground, but we have blue skies and sunshine after several months of cloud coverage. We finally have Manitoba winter weather and life is good! A year ago today, we were in… Continue reading Blue Skies & Butterflies
I have recently discovered the wonder and excitement of snowflakes. This may sound a bit silly, but growing up in southern California, snow was not really a thing. Sure, we could pack up the car and drive to the mountains where my family and I would make snowmen and sled down random hills. But snow… Continue reading Snowflakes
When I look at this photograph I cannot help but laugh. What may appear to be a carefully orchestrated moment (a moment in which Andy and I waited patiently for an ibex to meander its way across the foreground of our setting so we could snap a few photos) actually was in fact an accident. We had just finished hiking through the… Continue reading Expecting the Unexpected
