early in the morning

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 [...]

chow: vegan potato leek soup

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 [...]

babycation, baby

We ended up in Vegas 2 hours later than we had expected. We were supposed to arrive at 8:30pm and we got there at 10:30pm on the Thursday night. Not so bad… except a large portion of those 2 hours was spent grounded on the tarmac at the San Francisco airport. A half hour into that fiasco [...]

We made a special detour for the obligatory Las Vegas sign photo. John is the one who remembered to do it too, so extra brownie points for John. Viva Las Vegas, baby.

pregnant chick: 22 weeks (grand canyon edition)

The Belly Bump a la Grand Canyon… hidden a bit by my t-shirt. Whoops. Just got back from Vegas. Vegas is BUSY. We had a great time, but holy crap, I need a break now. A couple days into our holiday we decided to make the 5+ hour (each way) trek to the Grand Canyon. I [...]
