Cat On A Hot Car Hood
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

I am allergic to cats. Now when I say allergic... I mean ALLERGIC. They make me sick, sick, sick. 

 
My neighbourhood is full of cats. They prance around my yard and rub up against our patio door just to drive my dog crazy. They fight all night... every night. They scoot across the sidewalk in front of you just to give you a heart attack. And... they stalk me. Seriously. Maybe not all of them but there's this one cat that just won't leave me alone....

Embracing The Silence
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

My home is a place that's often bustling with noise. Two children, a husband and a dog makes it difficult to find peace and solitude. However, I've recently challenged myself to avoid turning on the radio or the television and I have made a commitment to embrace the silence that comes with the quiet.

I quickly learned that "silence" is not quiet at all.

Tape
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

There are so many things that we take for granted... conveniences that make our lives easier. The television, the remote control, the telephone, the cellular phone, toasters, coffee makers... the list goes on and on. But there is one convenience that I am especially thankful for... tape.

Just think of it... the packages it seals, the moving boxes it secures, the repairs it makes, the wounds it helps to cover, the gift it helps to wrap, and the art it creates.

However, today I want to share with you the special purpose that tape has had in our home....

Apple Pie And Memories
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

It's my husband's birthday on Wednesday. This past weekend we celebrated with his family and at my husband's request, I made him apple pie for dessert. I've made many apple pies before but this one was special....


I love baking. It's such a relaxing activity. I often go into a reflective state of mind. I could never be meditative while baking; my mind often drifts to memories of long ago. It pauses at happy moments, it floats through sad ones. It circles around memories of friends and family. It ebbs and flows through all the places that my hectic every day life doesn't permit me to visit....

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savour and remember.

I Quit Trying...
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

Before you stop reading because you think I'm going to whine and self-loathe... read on.

I am an introspective person. I am self-reflective almost to a fault. Some people would say that being self-reflective is a positive characteristic... that it's tough to be evaluative of oneself. However, I think there is a serious detriment to being too self-reflective; where self-reflection takes over the individual and smothers their very existence. There isn't a moment in my life when I'm not working to change some aspect or improve some area of my life.
 
Well, I quit. I formally give my resignation....

Princess Shutterbug
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

I admit it... I love a good deal. Especially when it's a thrifty find.

A little while ago, my hubby and I were doing some thrift store shopping. I was on the mission to find some equipment for the "mud pie kitchen" that I've been wanting to set up for my daughter. I was scouring the racks of miscellaneous items when I found it... the find of the century....
