This weekend I went on a kayaking trip with the boyfriend and Westwood. It was fantastic! I hadn't been kayaking in years. The boyfriend has his own kayak and Westwood has been a canoe tripper pretty much forever, so it was great that they had some experience. We were away…
Today I'm leaving with the boyfriend and Westwood for a three-day kayaking trip! Hope you all have a great long weekend :) Our "Managing a 60-hour workweek" mini-series will begin next week, but today I wanted to announce that this was my last week working at the vet clinic (if…
The boyfriend is, as I've mentioned before, an amazing cook - both for the simple and the gourmet meals. I don't operate quite in the same way. Some background to this story: About a month ago I was at my friend Briars's house, and we decided to make dinner. He's…
It's time for another mini-series! Ever since I started university, I've been working overtime. Between being a full-time student and working part-time, plus doing extra things like my kind of insane exercise schedule that I had throughout university and very regular blogging, my days were incredibly full.

Home from hiking! We did 53 km over the course of four days - it was challenging but absolutely fantastic. I'll share more details about the hike later this week! I'm really excited about a new product that I was introduced to by Andrea Metcalf: Xocai chocolate. It's a chocolate…
Since the boyfriend and I are away on a 5-day hike, I figured I'd write a post about the food that we're eating. Food is essential in everyday living, but it is especially important to have a steady fuel intake when you're back-country camping. This particular hiking trip is over…
Today the boyfriend and I are heading out for a back-country camping trip to Sleeping Giant. We're going to be hiking for hours every day until Sunday! I'm really looking forward to our first big hiking trip this summer :) This post is in honour of our favourite shared activity,…
I have been reading the amazing book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by the very talented Barbara Kingsolver. Her book is about how she and her family spent an entire year living on a farm, growing their own food and eating local. It's fascinating to be able…
