It is lambing season here on the island, and that means the fields are filled with the fuzzy jumpers and every time I see the Saltspring Lamb signs I get a little twinge in my heart. I went “off lamb” […]
We were back in “the city” this weekend. A quick turnaround trip so my eldest could attend her friends birthday party and then to drop the girls with my parents for a little holiday. Quick, like 30hrs quick. It was […]
We moved here to start fresh. We wanted something simple, something real and without the distractions of our old life. We wanted space. Chickens. Time. Earth Hour has been running for5 years. This year, it’s sixth year will be my […]
Last year, the week before I started this blog, I went to a conference in whistler. It was what started all of “this” The move. The leaping. The courage. The dreaming. That one weekend away let me see that there […]
My hubby and I keep getting deja vu driving around Saltspring. It seems so familiar to us. The winding roads, the roadside gardens. Sheep. It’s the most english place we have seen, other than england, of course. And with hubby being […]
I am sitting here in the airport after leaving blogwest, drinking my coffee, belly fully of yogurt and granola. Contented. Contented, and in a Chili’s restaurant. One of my besties just left to go back to her digs, a quick run to […]

If you have ever met me you will know that one thing I am not is passive. Except, of course, when I am . I believe that I am not just a passenger in my life, but am in control […]
We are 6 months into our new life now. Happy anniversary to us! 6 months ago we drove away from our life, no jobs, and no idea of what would be ahead of us other than good feelings that it […]
Valentines Day always trips me up. I am overwhelmed by the sparkly bits, and sweet treats and all that pink. Poor hubby usually ends up with something picked up from the grocery store the night before. This year . . . something […]
We really love our chickens, but sometimes feel the need to mock the cockerel. I mean, come on . . . how can you NOT? He’s just so serious!
I oozed happiness last night. Just oozed. Chatting with hubby I said how great the day was. I mentioned that in all my time with him, what we did today was always there on the “family bucket list” And bucket […]
I watched vegucated the other day. It is always a bad move when I do stuff like that. Hubby gets all stressed out, and I lie in bed, tossing and turning over the fact that my meat really, truly and […]
