do you ever want to throw your hands up in the air & scream ‘STOP’ at the top of your lungs? at yourself? when your brain or your heart or your emotions are just racing & getting louder than ever? that’s the image i picture in my mind when i feel things getting out […]
coming back
did anybody else’s june feel like it just went on forever & ever?? the whole month seemed so emotional & to be honest – kind of terrible – & i feel like it sucked everything out of me, including my creativity & my desire to write anything. which was maybe a good thing… i spent […]
welcome to our afternoons
i have been pouring my guts out to strangers on the internet for months now, so i figured it would be a good time to introduce (or reintroduce) afternoons with Harley! i used to be the happiest girl in the world. seriously. my life was an absolute dream. i had a fulfilling & exciting career, […]
making the most of the moment
‘if you feel it – go with it & go for it!’ a nice thought, but today i’m not going for anything except my fuzzy jammies, tea & a coen brothers movie. i wish i was achieving great things today… but i’m not. not at all. and there’s no real reason why. i’m just not […]

i feel like we all deserve a break right now! we’ve been dealing with a lot lately & for those of us who are feeling the strain – a long weekend couldn’t have come at a better time. usually i spend may long at our cabin. it’s one of my favourite places in the whole […]
that special moment
you know those days when the day is actually running you? when it feels like you’ve been ‘go go go!’ from the very second you opened your eyes?? but then – eventually – you get to that point where things are winding down, getting quiet, & you finally have that moment for yourself… the one […]
mother’s day means something different to all of us. some celebrate the strong women in their lives. some mourn the loss of those women. some of us feel like this day doesn’t belong to us at all. now i don’t know if i’ll ever have the honour & privilege of being a ‘real’ mom – […]
