I’ve always held firm to the idea that if animals had the ability to speak, life itself would be a hell of a lot easier. Sure, animals communicate with us in their own way, but I’m talking literal syntax and semantics; can you imagine if animals could carry out an entire verbal conversation with us? … More Understanding animals
A couple of nights ago, Blaine and I sat down together to watch something via Netflix. As per usual, we scrolled aimlessly through quite a few titles, trying to determine what to watch, when all of a sudden, Blaine turned to me and asked me if I was familiar with Jonah Hill’s newest movie, to … More Have you seen ‘Stutz’?
I mentioned in a post a while back that Blaine and I are dealing with some rather hard water in the house we live in. We have a water softener waiting to be installed, but in the meantime, our hair has taken a bit of a beating from the effects of hard water, and I … More Here’s how hard water shampoo and conditioner treat your hair
It’s only fair to write a post regarding giraffes considering how Blaine inspired my recent posts discussing zebras. When Blaine recommended writing about zebras, our friend, Nic, was with us. He wholeheartedly supported the idea of dedicating a few posts to the topic of zebras, and he, like Blaine, also had a suggestion – giraffes. … More Let’s talk about giraffes
When my family and I visited Rome, Italy, a few years back, my dad stumbled across a particular pasta dish that he raved about for years, long after we had left Rome. He had the opportunity to sample some authentic Italian carbonara, and he’s been hooked ever since, understandably. Granted, we aren’t in Rome anymore, … More Here’s how to make some delicious Italian carbonara
I am a woman of my word, and as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, today’s topic is a continuation of intriguing facts about zebras. These beasts of worthy of two posts, in my opinion, and again, this information comes from http://www.natgeokids.com. “6)Â Zebras are constantly on the move for fresh grass to eat and water to … More Let’s chat about zebras (part two)
I really wasn’t sure what I was going to write about for today’s post. I was contemplating for some time and then I figured I would ask Blaine as he often comes up with some pretty interesting ideas. Upon asking Blaine for some blog topic inspiration, he suggested zebras, and here we are. His specific … More Let’s chat about zebras
I try my best to limit myself and my tastebuds when I go grocery shopping. I really do. I make a list beforehand, try my best to avoid going on an empty stomach, and try to find the best deals and prices possible to save some coin. I still, however, buy myself some treats from … More Here’s how to make some cinnamon coffee muffins
I figured I’m doing all of you a bit of a disservice by sharing the arm component of my workout routine in yesterday’s post and stopping there. I’m no gatekeeper, and so I deemed it only fair to share the entirety of my workout routine with all of you, including the leg, butt and ab … More How about legs and abs?
I have a self-created workout routine that I’ve been doing daily for a number of years now. I first came up with the routine when I was in recovery from an eating disorder; I had to eliminate cardio from my workout routine as it was a trigger for me, so I figured I should probably … More Looking for a new arm workout?

Ferrets are, and always have been, one of my favourite critters in existence. When I was younger, I desperately wanted to own one as a pet, and I seriously looked into the matter, you know, with my 14-year-old intelligence and all. Upon reading up on ferrets and what they require if they’re a pet, I … More Here are some facts about ferrets
Please allow me to begin by acknowledging that the television series ‘The Walking Dead’ is by no means a new show. It’s been around for a while now, and actually, the tenth and final season recently wrapped up. I was certainly familiar with the show and its premise, but I never ended up watching an … More Are you a fan of ‘The Walking Dead’?
On Saturday evening, my mom came over to my and Blaine’s place to have dinner with us. My sister and dad weren’t home for the evening, so rather than her eating alone, it makes sense for her to come over to where we are seeing as we are quite close. Blaine’s been pretty sick for … More Make this chicken for dinner tonight
Many moons ago, I got my first off-farm job working at Pita Pit in West Brantford. I say off-farm job because my parents’ rule when my sister and I were younger was that if we wanted to work full-time on the farm, that was fine and dandy, but not without getting a job off the … More Have you been to BarBurrito in West Brantford?
I am someone who relies a little heavily upon the Reminders app on my iPhone. It’s borderline ridiculous how much I use it, and I think it’s a phenomenal tool for people who have a few different deadlines and reminders on their minds to keep track of everything. I decided, though, that for my tutoring … More Do yourself a favour and visit Indigo.ca right now
This past Wednesday was not a good one for my family and me. It was my dad’s 65th birthday, which is a milestone and monumental birthday absolutely worth celebrating, however, our celebrations were quickly sidetracked after an incident occurred in the afternoon. I was in the midst of a tutoring session with a client when … More Thank you, vets and vet techs
I’ll be entirely transparent and admit that the topic of today’s post is not one I came up with independently. I use WordPress for my blog, and while I usually don’t enjoy the changes made to my site every time it undergoes an unprecedented upgrade, I can appreciate one element of the new system which … More What are some things you’re good at?
After yesterday’s post regarding tigers and interesting facts and information pertaining to them, I deemed it only appropriate to dedicate today’s post to delivering the same knowledge for you yet again, only this time, we’re discussing lions. I promise I’ll stop at bears. Hehehe. Anyways, because I find lions to be equally majestic as tigers, … More … and how about lions?
Blaine was obsessed with the Tiger King documentary when it first premiered via Netflix at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and his obsession with the documentary has yet to diminish. He will start re-watching the series every now and then, and while he doesn’t always finish every time he starts re-watching it, he certainly … More How well do you know tigers?
I promised Blaine I would make him some homemade banana bread shortly after he and I moved into our home. I haven’t forgotten about or abandoned my promise, but I should probably make note of the fact that almost five months have elapsed since making this promise to Blaine. I figure if I write a … More Here’s how to make the most delicious homemade banana bread
I would bet money that just about every adult on planet Earth has heard the expression ‘forgive and forget.’ Typically, this mantra is shared with us when we have been done wrong by someone for whatever reason – we are told to forgive them for whatever their transgressions may be, and forget about the transgression … More Forgive, but don’t forget
If you read the title of this post and found yourself scratching your head at the term ‘Balenciaga,’ please don’t be distraught. Balenciaga, as of late, certainly is not a brand you want any familiarity or affiliation with, and for good reason. Balenciaga is a designer fashion brand sported by a shit ton of different … More Why aren’t we cancelling Balenciaga?
Ahhhhh, conspiracy theories. They’re just one of those things that can seemingly provoke a reaction from just about anybody, and generally speaking, a reaction occurs in one of two ways; people are either into them or they’re not, and the divide that exists between the options is a rather frosty one. Conspiracy theories have always … More Conspiracy theories: yes or no?
Blaine and I have been living in our place for roughly five months now. We absolutely love it and are so fortunate to be able to have such a beautiful space to call our home. Maybe about a month after moving in, I started noticing some issues with my brand-spanking new dishwasher. Quite a few … More Hard water: a hair nightmare
As of late, I have been seeing more and more material circulating on social media regarding a semi-recent influx in mockery of the Catholic religion. I say semi-recent because there have always been parodies of Catholicism, but it has escalated within the past few years or so, I would say. In case you didn’t hear … More Double standards in religion
For my American readers, I apologize for composing a post about how to create splendid stuffing just after you celebrated Thanksgiving. How inconsiderate of me, I know. I am pleased to inform you and all of my readers, however, that not only is stuffing a vastly underrated dish that can absolutely be enjoyed any time … More Here’s how to make some perfect homemade stuffing
As I’ve mentioned once or twice here on my blog, I work full-time for my family on our farm, but I do squeeze in some English tutoring when time permits. I figure I should probably make use of my rather expensive and extensive post-secondary education, and I like to think I’ve managed to establish a … More Recognizing the diversity of our own stories
The musical genre known as rap is one that really gets me going, but I should probably stipulate I have a handful of artists I listen to, and none of them are new to the game. Eminem, N.W.A., The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop and 50 Cent are my favourites, and their work is the best in … More Have you seen ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’?
My family and I reside in Brant County, and where we are situated is a couple of kilometres away from Six Nations of the Grand River, a First Nations Reserve. We’re about ten minutes out from the West end of Brantford, which is where my family and I typically venture whenever we need groceries. I … More Have you been to Townline Variety Gas & Groceries – Clover Farm?
I’ve debated whether or not I should share here on my blog that I dabble in cannabis from time to time, my reservations being that I don’t want anyone misconstruing my marijuana use and assuming I’m competing with Snoop in terms of how high I can possibly be. I assure you that as much as … More Why do you smoke?
