I’m a few days into my Freedom Halifax trip and marvelling at the way things are shaping up – definitely not according to expectations! Expectation That the flight would be a dream with Baby sleeping in the bassinet four out of 4.5 hours of the flight. I would be reading and writing throughout the flight,…
Vancouver-based cleaning and personal care refills at Greenworks
I have in the past Googled Greenworks Building Supply to see if it has anything to do with the Green Works brand I see in the London Drugs aisles all of the time, as I walk by the Greenworks building all of the time. Recently, I noticed this sandwich board being displayed outside. And it…
How a Saje visit became an exercise in set theory and data visualization
All I went into Saje in Pacific Centre for was to see the Saje x Poosh diffuser set in person and feel smug that I didn’t fall for the marketing campaign. Then I noticed the numerous sleep blends and my head exploded a little. What do I want the most? To achieve a Dream State?…
Crafting lately: name initial door craft
As it happens with the second child, you draw parallels in their development and try to be as fair as possible to both children. You’re going to find me finding the fun – through crafts and photos – acknowledging these two. Since we knew the name a few months before she was born, I was…
Carry her carrier
I like to think I did a super job of putting kiddo into the carrier, that is, that I use it more often and longer than average. Because I’m looking for validation anywhere. I bought a gray Ergobaby carrier when it was slightly discounted, going with the brand based on reports it provided best support…
How to get dinner ready fast – Cooking with Campbell’s
It has been on my mind more and more that I need to make meals faster and spend more time with my family. It’s confounded these days as I’m not at work and so meals don’t have to be less complicated or quick to make: I just need to have dinner ready before they get…
Duchess-inspired workout
The more I follow British royalty news, the more headlong I fall into avidly devouring any news items about the “senior royals”. Unfortunately, my thought processes do support the lopsided and anti-feminist articles that report on what the duchesses are wearing and their physiques, fixated on their appearances rather as much or more than the…
Identifying plantlife (mostly flowers) around False Creek South / Olympic Village
Every walk is a nature walk. I started listening to the podcast titled Well Now which is put forth by Saje, but not in promotion of their products. I believe it was in the anxiety episode where a researcher conducted a study where participants’ anxiety levels were measured where people made a conscious effort to…
Surviving the first month post-partum – Dining
I am working on a complementary blog post regarding the month of eating approaching nutritous post-partum foods in addition to what I stockpiled. But could you imagine me and NPY not going out for a whole month! Hah! Hugo’s Tacos & Churros Upon recommendation NPY found on the Internet from some pediatrician, we’d endeavour to…
Lil Sis’ 2019 Whirlwind trip to Vancouver
Lil Sis and BIL have been coming to Vancouver every year for several years now. She visits me in Vancouver and then they are off towards Interior BC to visit his family. It was just the most gleeful news to learn BIL has family here. They may have been visiting annually in the summer since…
