Cottage dreaming and learning Lightroom
We have had the most AMAZING summer! Hubby was able to take two weeks off and we rented a gorgeous cottage on Lake Huron – as in right on the water. We shared the cottage with our favourite travelling companions and dearest friends and enjoyed sun, sand, surf (some rain) and savoury meals prepared by […]
AWOL – Absent but with outstanding learning

The BEST Mother’s Day gift I’ve ever received
The very best gift my family has ever given me, Mother’s Day or otherwise is this: A dollar store journal that I attached some vinyl lettering to. I made this for myself (and a few for friends) back in 2014 and it is hands-down my favourite and the best Mother’s Day gift ever. But I […]
