It’s been a while, because I thought I wasn’t cool enough. Spoiler Alert: I’m still cool – according to me :)

March 18, 2024

It has been over two years since my last blog post. It’s honestly really tough to think of how to even start to write an update after so long! It is impossible to try to summarize over two years of life lived in a single post, and I wouldn’t even feign an attempt to do … More It’s been a while, because I thought I wasn’t cool enough.

Welcome to the World Augustine!

October 25, 2021

I started writing this a couple months ago but only just got around to finally posting Augie’s birth story. At first I was a bit unsure about sharing my labour and delivery story on my blog. I thought to myself why that would be the case, after all, I’ve shared many camping and hiking adventures … More Welcome to the World Augustine!

Checking in – Hello Spring 2021!

April 10, 2021

I’ve had yet another many-months-long hiatus from the blog-o-sphere, but I’m back (back again!) for a life-update post!

It weighs especially heavy because this is not … More I pledge to be an Anti-Racist

Wanderlust & “Real” Travel; or why you don’t need an airplane ticket to”Find Yourself”

August 9, 2019

This post was originally published on my old blog in August 2015. I still think it rings true today – and after writing this post I think my own attitude towards travel and why I travel shifted for the better. Wanderlust is all the rage nowadays. I was walking through Chapters the other day and … More Wanderlust & “Real” Travel; or why you don’t need an airplane ticket to”Find Yourself”

Some thoughts on writing

August 1, 2019

I love the art of written word, so much so that I think about writing all the time. At least, I used to… Language Arts (or English) was my favourite school subject, and for most of my adolescence, my dream career was to be a writer. I am constantly trying to put together tales in … More Some thoughts on writing
