Learning a second language is something that I have wanted to do for years. It is on my bucket list, to-do list, life list and today I think I may have made a small dent towards that goal. It started several years ago. I think I was around 29/30 and I discovered Rosetta Stone through their plethora of ads. I know. The most serious Polyglots would laugh at me and say that it was a waste of my money but during that time my resources were limited and I didn’t know what my options were. Continue Reading →
We have been renters our entire marriage. I’ve actually been a renter for 95% of my life. My dad was in the military and we moved every few years making buying a house pointless. My parents didn’t buy their home until I was in my mid teens and they still live there today. As a result I have grown up with a renter mentality and haven’t really known much different.

Mother’s Day is sneaking up quicker than I thought it was. For some reason I thought that it was more towards the end of May than the beginning so now I am trying to figure out what to get my mom. Continue Reading →
Pinterest is bad for your self-esteem. It can make you think you are capable of doing all kinds of extraordinary things and when you attempt them 9 times out of 10 you fail miserably. We have all seen those Pinterest fail memes. There are whole blogs dedicated to Pinterest fails and it is a hilarious way to spend some time knowing that you aren’t the only one that sucks when it comes to Martha Stewart type endeavours.

I have been a part of my online mom/birth group for almost 5 years now. I have yet to meet anyone in the group since most are from the U.S. and those in Canada are more westward than I. Quite a few of the U.S. members have met though, and today one of my good friends from there mentioned how another member was visiting in her area and neglected to set up a meeting. I though it was weird since Continue Reading →
I live in a city centre which means I am surrounded by a lot of tall buildings, cement, and shopping everywhere. Green space is somewhat limited so when we go out for walks our end destination usually is a shop or restaurant. The mall across the street is massive and was actually beneficial in giving us some exercise during the winter since walking around outside in the death-cold isn’t ideal. We were kind of like the geriatric mall walkers you see early morning when the mall first opens.
When I heard that Target in was closing it was kind of huge bummer because it was one of our stops that we made regularly. I mean, who doesn’t love Target? Last month, right beside it the mall opened a huge Forever 21. I’m sure they picked that spot because of its proximity to Target which sucks for them, but I was excited to shop there. I have always had to order online from Forever 21 because I never l lived close to one before. This was new territory for me.
I like Forever 21 mostly because of the price. I am a bargain shopper, and while I would love to spend more money buying quality pieces for my wardrobe I also know that realistically it make more sense for me to buy cheaper at the moment. I will be honest though, I sometimes feel old shopping there. You know, since I am slightly over 21 😉 If you can call almost 15 years over slightly. I refer to it as Forever 31 because I don’t actually want to be Forever 21. Forever 31 would be my ideal age to stay if that was ever a possibility. I also don’t believe in the phrase “dress your age”. I don’t think that because I am a certain age that I basically have to give up on being trendy or fashionable. It’s just not in me to not really care about what I am wearing.
The other day we stopped off at the mall. I was being masochistic and wanted to see Target all closed up (it officially closed last Saturday) and I was craving the chicken salad and basil Tomato Soup from Wholefoods anyway. Two birds with one stone. We ended up taking a detour through Forever 21 because I wanted to look at all the new summer merchandise. It was warm out that day and warm weather makes me think of dress, breezy tops, and hats. I didn’t end up buying anything but I did compile a list of things that are both for summer and doesn’t look like I am trying to pretend I am in college again. Below are a few things I found that would be nice for summer.
