Here we are, in the homestretch to the Festive Finish Line, and I have not one, but TWO Christmas miracles to tell you about. Cue the hype-up music – are you ready for this? Christmas Miracle Number One: Costco Last week I was due for a Costco trip, and during this Pandemic At The Disco, […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things; The I Love December Edition
December 16, 2021 by
I love the month of December. It just feels so magical; objectively it’s a cold and dark month, but it doesn’t feel that way to me. I mean, it IS dark, it IS cold – it is minus 21 this morning! – but I don’t mind. I mean, yes, I would rather not spend ten […]
What Day Is It Again; Ninety-One Weeks In
December 13, 2021 by
I do not know what’s going on with my neighbours and their drainage, but this guy has returned several times since I first sighted him in October: I did finally catch a glimpse of him, after an embarrassing amount of peeking out the window whilst folding laundry, and it was, to be honest, a bit […]

I feel like I learn new things every day; I discovered the “We Didn’t […]

November 18, 2021 by
I know many people loathe the month of November, but I do not. It’s generally a grey/ brown, chilly, windy month, true, but it has its own kind of beauty: We don’t all have to be flashy to be beautiful. November is also a good month for me because the first three weeks are the […]
