At the risk of sounding incredibly obnoxious I’m just going to go ahead and say it: I’m rather enjoying this downtime before Bambino makes his/her appearance. After John was finished up with work yesterday I tagged along while he got his haircut. Then we escaped to a coffee shop, read (I didn’t bother with my book [...]

This is a sunrise. I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but sunrises happen really early in the morning. For this reason I don’t see a lot of sunrises. I prefer to sleep through them. This was on the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver before Christmas. John and I were heading over to the Big Smoke [...]

My brother sent me a recipe for potato leek soup, here it is (a veganized version… meaning this is a vegan dish (I added some herbs and spice too cuz mamma likes it HAWT)). My non-vegan husband ate and loved it, so trust me, it’s good, even if you’re a carnivore). Tasty and super easy [...]
