Change is good and so are these Lemony Banana Blueberry muffins!
Before deciding to start a blog, my initial intention was to start journaling. I bought a lovely journal, pretty stickers, pencil crayons, fancy pens, stencils, etc. Then when I went to start, I couldn’t find the words, couldn’t figure out what I wanted to write about, and most importantly I realized that my once beautiful…
Our first adventure as a married couple
I have had a great weekend – my nephew and his son came and stayed with me for the weekend while taking part in a hockey tournament. I know, I know, how Canadian is that? Anyway, my nephew and I did a lot of reminiscing which then became the inspiration for this next post. We…

Essential Oils for the Win!
I began my Young Living essential oil journey in August of 2016 and I’m not gonna lie, I started with knowing next to nothing about these little bottles of goodness but luckily, I have 2 daughters who have been using oils for quite some time. I started off thinking I would just use essential oils…
Good Friends
I consider myself one of the lucky ones, how many of us can say that they have friends from elementary and middle school still to this day? Friends for over 40 years, how lucky am I? When I look back on my life, I have some very long term friendships, 40 years, 30 years, 25…
