although i am one of those people who love a fresh start, love mondays, a new week, a new month, a new year – i am not that good at actually implementing any changes that would give me that fresh start. i don’t clear out the old to welcome in the new. i don’t create […]
you’re not missing out
‘you are not missing out on anything when you’re getting your act together’ i think my very favourite new year’s on record was the one welcoming in 2015. Harls & i had just been approved for this cute little house we had applied to rent & possession date was january 1. it had been a […]
everything
‘it’s not your job to be everything to everyone’ – candace reels for the life of me, i can’t actually remember what i was going through when i wrote this quote down. i do remember seeing it on instagram & loving it, but as someone who doesn’t really have a lot of dependents or responsibilities […]
merriest of christmases & happiest of holidays
merry christmas eve friends! i have always preferred december 24th to the 25th. when i was little, the 24th was the day that we would get all dressed up & go to my baba & gee-gee’s house for dinner. and not just any holiday dinner – but the 12 traditional meatless ukrainian christmas dishes. and […]
‘i can see a better time when all our dreams come true…’
not every christmas is magical. not every christmas is joyful. or full of laughter. or full of love. sometimes the holidays just suck. and if that’s where you are right now, you’re not alone. and if you feel guilty or ashamed of yourself for feeling less than sparkly – you’re not alone in that either.

fighting for a way
i am not known for being a very organized person. i’m not type a, i’m not detail oriented & i’m certainly not someone you would trust with a super important document. like a birth certificate. or a passport. two fairly important government issued materials that i lost sometime over the summer while moving from my […]
having fun
“don’t forget to have fun” sounds pretty simple, hey? this quote i scribbled down around this time last year & even though it’s beyond simple – it’s beyond important. this weekend i noticed two really huge things… #1 being that i haven’t been having a whole lot of fun & #2 being that i have […]
just stop it already
“stop stopping yourself” this was one of the very first quotes i wrote out in this old dollar store notebook i found while unpacking some boxes about a year ago. i had just moved in with my mama after leaving my marriage & i found myself wondering if i had done the right thing. am […]
happy birthday to me
officially woke up as a 32-year-old woman today! i am one of those people who LOVE birthdays. everyone’s – not just mine & i’ve been known to celebrate whole birthday weeks. i mean, this is the one time of the year that’s just for you. all about you. and i firmly believe that everyone should […]
