As we wrap up our series regarding unkillable plants, within reason, allow me to stipulate that if, after attempting to nourish one of the plant varieties mentioned in these posts you’re still not having much luck, there is no shame in owning fake plants. I say this because our entire home is furnished with fake … More Black thumb instead of green? Read this (part four)
Writing posts about which houseplants are borderline impossible to kill has been nothing short of a pleasant experience, and I hope you feel the same. I’ve broadened my arsenal of plant knowledge, and I’ve gained a thorough understanding of which ones to seek out if I’m feeling brave and am wishing to, once again, raise … More Black thumb instead of green? Read this (part three)
There is hope for those of us who consider ourselves to possess black thumbs as opposed to the traditional green ones, as it turns out. I have never been great with houseplants, and because I figure there are plenty of other people in the world who, like me, unintentionally murder plants (I sincerely hope so, … More Black thumb instead of green? Read this (part two)
I always joke that despite my mom having one of the most prominent green thumbs when it comes to plants, I happen to possess a black thumb, meaning I tend to kill just about every houseplant I’ve attempted to nurture. By no means am I intentionally killing plants; rather, I tend to do the opposite … More Black thumb instead of green? Read this (part one)
If anyone is expecting an apology from me because our raccoon conversation has become a sort of miniseries, allow me to assert, respectfully, that I won’t be offering one. I’ve learned a solid amount of information about these creatures from writing these posts, and I’m hoping you can say the same for yourself if you … More Let’s hear it for raccoons (part four)
When I composed the first post regarding raccoons and their interesting details, I was not under the impression that the topic would remain relevant for three separate posts. However, as it turns out, raccoons are far more interesting than most of us give them credit for, and while I may be isolated in my stance … More Let’s hear it for raccoons (part three)
Raccoons are often at the receiving end of a lot of criticism and hate, but as I stated in yesterday’s post, I consider them to be positively adorable. Are they destructive at times? Yes. Does that warrant hating them? I certainly don’t think so. Raccoons are frequently sighted on our property, and while my dad … More Let’s hear it for raccoons (part two)
While a lot of people tend to turn their noses up at the idea of raccoons, I happen to find them positively adorable, and I always have. They have garnered a poor reputation in the sense that they’re scavengers and will often raid someone’s garbage collection, but we’re all a little destructive from time to … More Let’s hear it for raccoons
My sister has been a more-than-loyal iTunes patron for as long as I can remember. Arguably, for as long as smartphones have been in existence, because rather than taking the shitty route and using Limewire to illegally download music and absolutely mutilate our parents’ computer with viruses like me, she opted for the moral choice … More If you use iTunes, read this
Spiders and I, for the vast majority of my existence, are not what I would consider friends. They creep me the fuck out, and I’ve never really experienced a tremendous urge to get to know them on a deeper level. The less of them I encounter, the better, and I know a lot of people … More Check out these curious facts about spiders
Our conversation pertaining to capybaras will continue today, and I hope you’re enjoying learning about these animals as much as I have. Granted, I’m a little bit biased towards these majestic creatures because of the obsession I had with them while I was in high school, but they really are extremely lovable critters. I think … More How much do you know about capybaras? (part two)
If you find yourself a wee bit confused after reading the title of today’s post, no need to fret. Capybara awareness has increased in the past few years, based on my own observations, but they certainly aren’t the most common animal to spot while you’re out and about. I first learned about capybaras when I … More How much do you know about capybaras?
I feel obligated to share a personal story with all of you before we delve into today’s squirrel content. When I was a lot younger, my uncle told me a story about a squirrel I doubt I will ever forget. He told me that when he was a kid, he and a buddy decided to … More Let’s talk about squirrels (part two)
I have always considered squirrels to be positively adorable creatures, but I am aware that plenty of us are not fans of these little creatures. I should arguably stipulate that I have also always found mice to be very cute, so it’s possible I’m a wee bit fucked in the head. But, aside from my … More Let’s learn about squirrels
Now that we find ourselves on day three of chatting about all things sloth, I am sincerely hoping that you, like me, have actually gained a more thorough comprehension of these incredible creatures. I was under the impression my sloth knowledge was relatively well-versed, but upon dedicating three separate posts to these cuties, I’ve come … More We salute the sloth (part three)
When I select an animal to dedicate a post or two towards, I like to think I’m relatively well-versed in the chosen animal’s general traits and information. Sometimes this is true, and other times, my assumptions are entirely false, and my post yesterday proved this, specifically the bit about sloths and their bowel habits. That … More We salute the sloth (part two)
I have a bit of difficulty conjuring thoughts about sloths without thinking about my mom. I recognize that assertion is a bit odd, so allow me to provide you with some context; my mom adores sloths, and has for as long as I can remember. I like them quite a bit myself, but my mom’s … More We salute the sloth
When our book club came together for our last meeting, I was pleased to be elected as the person responsible for choosing the next book we read. We choose at random, taking turns, and when my name was selected, I was more than happy to suggest Theo of Golden by Allen Levi because I had … More Read or rid: ‘Theo of Golden’ by Allen Levi
If you happened to read the title of today’s entry and found yourself a wee bit perplexed, I really can’t say I blame you. Allow me to state that the title is intended to be a bit ominous, and my hope is that the vagueness of it will be enough of a hook to draw … More Recognizing the potential of a garden shed
Today’s post is a continuation of yesterday’s topic regarding how to keep one’s home smelling clean and fresh with the presence of indoor critters. By critters, I mean pets, for anyone curious. If you have critters in your home that you fail to consider pets that are emitting odours, however, perhaps you should consider seeking … More Here’s how to avoid a smelly house with indoor pets (part two)
My family did not have ‘indoor’ pets when I was growing up. We always had a dog on the farm, but they lived outdoors and would sleep in our garage, and I don’t think we welcomed our cat Lionel into the house until I was well into my teenage years. Due to the lack of … More Here’s how to avoid a smelly house with indoor pets (part one)
If you happened to read the title of today’s post and were forced to do a double take, I can’t say I blame you. A fish doorbell is not exactly a commonality, nor is it something most people would believe exists, but I am here to tell you it does, and, yes, it is precisely … More Feeling bored?

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned how Easter is my mom’s favourite holiday. It always has been, and I imagine it always will be, unless my mother undergoes some sort of drastic life transformation to curb her adoration for Easter decor. I don’t find it particularly difficult to understand why my mom enjoys Easter so much; … More How much do you know about Easter? (part one)
As stated at the conclusion of yesterday’s post, today’s will be a continuation of absolutely arbitrary facts. I’ve always found random facts to be interesting to read, and considering how they’re simultaneously educational and entertaining, I figure there are worse things I could be occupying my free time with. Sometimes I will research specific facts, … More Facts for fun (part two)
I had a recent conversation with my mom during which she and I chatted about my blog. She reads it daily, and I admitted to her that there are times I simply cannot conjure an ounce of inspiration for a post idea and resort to what I call cheater posts. When I am in the … More Facts for fun (part one)
When I wrote yesterday’s post, I truly was not anticipating a secondary post on the same topic. But, as it turns out, deer are a lot more interesting than I initially thought, hence why we are here on a part-two post. I feel as though deer have earned a rather poor reputation in the animal … More How much do you know about deer? (part two)
I’ve seen a handful of deer over the past few days while out and about, and seeing them encouraged today’s topic. Deer are very common throughout the area my family and I reside in, but despite their notable presence in my life since I’ve been a kid, I realized I don’t really know a whole … More How much do you know about deer?

It is my sincerest wish that these posts discussing low-maintenance plants assist others as much as they have assisted me with my own knowledge of which plants are best suited for those of us who significantly lack a green thumb. If anything, I think I possess a black thumb with my own personal history of … More Looking for some low-maintenance plants? Read this (part two)
My recent posts about plants that possess the ability to purify air while simply existing inspired me to pursue the topic of plants for today’s content. As opposed to further investigating the superpowers of plants, for example, their ability to rid roxins from the air, I thought I would share some low-maintenance plants for anyone … More Looking for some low-maintenance plants? Read this (part one)
Before we delve back into our conversation pertaining to air-purifying plants, I thought it would be appropriate to take a collective moment and offer some general thanks toward plants as a general concept. They’re pretty incredible, and while I’ve accepted I will never possess the tremendous green thumb my mom has, I can still appreciate … More Looking for cleaner air in your home?
