You may have noticed an entry in my blogroll for the last year called bentlily. Well, bentlily is a blog started by my super-talented boss, Sam, to help her be more present during her first year of motherhood. Now that 2011 has ended, it has turned into something that she wants to continue. And so, …
{Photo via Flickr user Xipe Totec39.} I mentioned at the beginning of January that I wasn't going to drink that month. Well, six weeks later, I thought I would let you know how it went. I decided to quit because late last year I read a couple of articles that encouraged me to try not …
{Delicious, simple breakfast at Nelson the Seagull.} This has been a busy, busy week! I'm learning all kinds of new things at work and have lots to do in the evenings too. We have no plans this weekend so I'm very much looking forward to slowing down and sleeping in. {Snow drops!} {Cute little flowers …

The Canada Line bike/pedestrian bridge over the Fraser River is worth it (mostly for the smooth biking and industrial views it offers). Steveston itself, is the site …
After too much hemming and hawing, I've finally got a domain name for this little corner of the web. My blogspot spot will redirect here but if you're using a reader, you might need to update. Thanks for staying with me!
{Returned from Edmonton to these, from my fella.} This week has felt really short, maybe because I was away last weekend. I'm looking forward to a relaxing but productive weekend. We finally got access to our storage locker in our new apartment so now that some things are put away, I feel like I can …
