A Dream Coming True

Featured ~ Hannah B.L. ~ 1 Comment

When I started my blog back in April of this year it was very much on a whim. I'd been thinking about starting a blog for years but had never really had the courage to do so. While I felt this drive to share my experiences and thoughts with the world I had a lot … Continue reading A Dream Coming True

Embracing Change: A Shift in Mindset

Featured ~ Hannah B.L. ~ 1 Comment

The other day, I took it upon myself to sort through ALL of my old photos. I have accumulated so many in this social media age, thousands to be precise, but on my newest computer I hadn't bothered to sort them yet. It's a daunting task I've been putting off for months. But, I finally … Continue reading Embracing Change: A Shift in Mindset

10 Ways to Celebrate When You Can’t Leave the House

Featured ~ Hannah B.L. ~ 1 Comment

This past weekend we celebrated my husband's birthday. It was a different kind of birthday this year, as different as anything else it seems right now. We aren't able to celebrate in the ways we usually do or with all of the people we normally would. It can be hard to imagine how to celebrate … Continue reading 10 Ways to Celebrate When You Can’t Leave the House

Canada Day: My Complicated Relationship with My Native Land

Today is Canada Day. I'll start by wishing you, “Happy Canada Day!”. Or should I? For most of my life I've had a complicated relationship with Canada Day. I've not known exactly how I felt about it, and most of the time I was at least uncomfortable with it. Growing up, Canada Day was a … Continue reading Canada Day: My Complicated Relationship with My Native Land

On June 7th, 2020 our family welcomed home a new member. Juniper “June”, a tiny 8-week old kitten.

Stop Waiting for Perfect

May 8, 2020 ~ Hannah B.L. ~ 1 Comment

I've come to realize, just how important it is to pursue my interests, dreams, and desires unabashedly. As adults, we often hold ourselves back from things that we want to do or from the person that we want to be because we are worried that we won't be perfect. For me, this usually comes in … Continue reading Stop Waiting for Perfect

How My Marriage is Surviving Coronavirus

May 1, 2020 ~ Hannah B.L. ~ 1 Comment

I heard an interesting headline the other day about how divorce rates are going up as a result of social distancing measures. The notion of being in prolonged confinement with ones partner or spouse can certainly test the commitment of, “In good times and bad”. In response to this, I have been thinking about how … Continue reading How My Marriage is Surviving Coronavirus
