Our family's quest to reduce the "frills" and live a little differently
A Year of No Frills: April 2010
http://ayearofnofrills.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A Year of No Frills. Our family's quest to reduce the "frills" and live a little differently. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Burning a hole in my pocket. I’ve been quite delinquent in blogging this month, but the wheels have been turning! I’ve wanted to share some thoughts about gifts in a year of no frills. Many people have weighed in on the gifts topic. Can you buy gifts for people? Will you make gifts for people? If you buy gifts, what kinds of gifts are best? Films, film festivals. So, I’ve revisit...

A Year of No Frills. Our family's quest to reduce the "frills" and live a little differently. Friday, December 31, 2010. Old Plan, New Plan. Our friends and family have been very supportive of this experiment. We've had great excursions and experienced the city in new ways. Recently, through a friend, I discovered the Pearl Company. A funky arts facility where we saw the Good Lovelies. Perform just before Christmas- truly amazing! Christmas with Stuart McLean, Matt Anderson and others! A mix of stop, sta...

A Year of No Frills: October 2010
http://ayearofnofrills.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
A Year of No Frills. Our family's quest to reduce the "frills" and live a little differently. Sunday, October 31, 2010. One of my goals this year was to get out and experience the rich culture our urban centres have to offer. So, on a recent trip to Vancouver I skipped Robson and checked out the latest exhibits at the Vancouver art gallery. By Tokyo Artist Song Dong hit an obvious chord with me. Mundane, Interesting, Necessary. As far as the mundane. Sweeping, cursing dried up play dough (so sticky!

carte franche: Life Editing for Facebook™
http://cartefranche.blogspot.com/2011/08/life-editing-for-facebook.html
Friday, August 26, 2011. Life Editing for Facebook™. Why do I always feel disappointed when I log onto facebook? I don't know if it's knowing I'm wasting time, or looking at people's facebook edited perfect lives (I'm not innocent on this one, either)". In the end, I didn’t post it (except here in this blog) and here’s what held me back…. Hours in a day and my little munchkins are usually awake for about half of those. Right after the 28 or so odd. Shrieking cat-is-dying sound you ask? Clearly, a too pol...
carte franche: Hope is Better than Fear
http://cartefranche.blogspot.com/2011/08/hope-is-better-than-fear.html
Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Hope is Better than Fear. Earlier this year, in the spring, we were sitting around the kitchen table having a nightcap with some friends. During this time, whether at dinner parties, school gatherings or church meetings conversations inevitably turned to the election. Canadians were weary of elections and tired of the same old infighting in Parliament. First of all, who not to vote for? Just as the right cannot unite everyone, neither can the left. As a former private school...

I count myself amongst the lucky ones in that this year I turn 32 and so far I have never had any car accidents. So here’s what happened.

Thursday, October 13, 2011. July 13th 2012. Baby Boom, I'm calling it. Hospitals get ready, there’s going to be a Baby Boom unlike anything we’ve seen since the late forties. Sure, the economy is still in recession and the vasectomy business is booming but for all our careful planning, who could have predicted that RIM would not only employ and attract over 15000 people especially in the Kitchener/ Waterloo region but could also be responsible for growing the population in only three days!

A Year of No Fear
A Year of No Fear. Fear is a stronghold for so many. I believe that God wants me to allow Him to break this stronghold in my life and hopefully open the door for it to be broken in other people's lives as well. I am a grateful child of God, cancer survivor, wife to Jeremy, and mom to 2 amazing boys. Tuesday, December 13, 2016. When I walk through the waters. When things feel like a lose/lose, God HIMSELF is my defense and saves me. When I'm not sure what to do. Who has held the dust of the earth in a bas...
