May Update
HEALTH GOAL UPDATE Like I said last month I have been really struggling with my mental health and I have no capacity to do anything beyond the very basics. So that has been my adapted health goal for May. I refocused in on …
Just two girls and our efforts to be creative and get by.
THOUGHTS
No one is surprised when I say life is unpredictable, wild, overwhelming, and magical. I didn’t start this blog thinking it would be a place for anything other than DIY. As this develops I see the value in using this platform to talk about the issues that occur in my life. I think there is power in sharing our thoughts and experiences. Difficult parts of life can leave us feeling isolated and alone. This category is to push me to share and remind myself that I am not alone. Not to be too serious I also wanted a space to talk a bit more. I have a lot of things on my mind pretty much all the time. I don’t promise to be eloquent or the most informed person writing blog posts on this topic. Hope you enjoy reading about my thoughts.
April Update
Health Goal April Update Surviving. That’s it. That has been my goal for April. Before the month started I had loftier ideas about what I wanted to accomplish. However, it became really clear to me I was pushing myself towards a cliff edge and …
Thinking About…Dwarsligger
Picture this, it’s 2011 I am alone and wandering through Kings Cross Station in London. Why? I can’t remember. It’s strange that I would be travelling by myself from my town in England to London. Maybe this explains why I had so much time before …
March Update
Oh March, why’d you have to be so weird. I don’t know what it was about this month but so many people close to me had a really rough go of it. Similarly, I also struggled this month. My mental health has been stable for …
Best of Winter 2021-2022
Last year I did a round-up each month of my favourite things! Since then I’ve really missed sharing some of my the things that make me happy. I thought about it a lot and in the end, decided to do a list of my favourite …
Thinking About.. Solje Brooches
I think a lot of third-generation kids can relate to a loss of cultural identity. My grandmother’s family immigrated from Norway and promptly decided to ‘be Canadian’. In their mind that meant assimilating as much as possible at the expense of their Norwegian culture. My …
February Update
February has come and gone and I have been busy! I’ve been loving the sunshine and even took a trip to the beach. No swimming just reading bundled up in blankets but it was still lovely. But enough chit-chat here is my February update! …
Thinking About.. Posy Rings
On the good old Instagram I scrolled past this meme. Firstly, I thought the ring was so beautiful. Then I laughed at the joke and then got a bit sad that no one is inscribing beautiful rings for me. So I saved the Instagram post …
January Update
My year started out like a dumpster on fire. I’d been sick since December and despite multiple negative Covid tests something still felt wrong so I went for one last test. Low and behold it came back positive. The physical symptoms are not fun but …
2022 Goals
Let’s talk about a 2022 goal. Or in my case a couple of them. 2021 kinda ended in a dumpster fire for me. If I am being honest what I really want is to sleep through January and pretend I don’t have to deal with …
