I am madly in love with my Native Shoes x Beth Richard Audrey shoes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Not only are they beautiful, light, waterproof and comfy, they are local! Located on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh First Nations, Native Shoes are completely vegan (proudly animal free!!)

In order to have less wasted food, and to try to stick to a “no-Dominos-pizza-because-I’m-too-tired-to-cook”, and ultimately be kinder to my bank account, I have gone back to meal planning and meal prep. To be fair, I should never have stopped doing it because it’s harder to start once I stop, than it is to…

“It’s not everyday yer young man turns 11!” My boy. My baby. My little man. My cuddle bug. My sarcastic, sardonic funny kiddo. You are eleven years old now. Old enough for your letter from Hogwarts, old enough to qualify as a preteen, but not too old to still curl up on my lap and…

Happy birthday, B! How can you be 14??? One minute you were a small baby asking your uncles to toss you high into the air, and now you are into your second year as a teen!! I love you, and your great smile, and you clever sense of humour, and your big, tight hugs. I…
