Lifestyle blog for homemaking and personal growth
In the past, I’ve often emphasized the importance of having hobbies in your life. After all, we can’t always work. Hobbies are the play of adults in a lot of ways. But I do know that life is often busy, sometimes so busy we don’t know where the day went and can feel dis-regulated and…
Right off the bat, I’m going to say that I’m not totally sure this is a French Canadian recipe. What I do know is that this recipe was given to my mother decades ago by a French Canadian, so we are going with it being French Canadian. But, no matter where this recipe came from,…
I think if you have been paying attention to some of the things I’ve said in recent blog posts, and have been following me on Instagram, you’ll have noticed that I am approaching life from a Christian–specifically Catholic–viewpoint now. I had a gradual pull and return to the faith, and I have found that it…
I’m going to be honest–getting out into nature isn’t easy for me. I’m not really sure why, as I want to be out in nature, but I always find myself indoors doing everything but being outside. But being out in nature is the best way to reduce stress and re-set your nervous system. It’s the…

Where I live, it’s not quite yet spring. Winter like weather is still with us, though we do have some warmer days filled with sunshine. As much as we want to be outside, it’s not yet time to garden, and so it’s a tricky season to know what to do as a homemaker. I certainly…
Hello again friends, and thanks for dropping by today! I know I said I’m not sure which direction entirely this blog is going to take, but I am feeling as though I need to dip my toe in with some ideas that are floating around in my mind and in my heart. And since in…
It’s been a year since I last posted here on the blog, and while this is a hobby blog now, that is a long time. Some of you might know I was putting more time and energy into my crochet blog, Pretty In Crochet, and but that’s not the only reason I haven’t been present…
There’s an old saying, “April showers bring May flowers” and May is certainly bursting with flowers. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen me sharing many pictures of my garden in bloom. And I’ve been really delighted with everything that is blooming in the garden. I feel truly blessed that my husband and…
