Essay writing is a concept of writing that more people than not struggle to comprehend. In essence, the prospect of composing an essay doesn’t sound all too difficult; you’re required to select a topic, formulate an argument around that topic (assuming you’re writing an argumentative essay), and use your paper as a means to convince … More Writing an essay?

A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to meet a friend for coffee who I don’t have the pleasure of seeing nearly as often as I would like. She and I have known each other our entire lives and grew up together; she is actually the reason I started playing rugby, and that is … More Have you visited Pies and Tarts from the Heart?
When it comes to pizza, my husband is a bit of a critic. I honestly have no doubt in my mind that, if he were ever faced with a situation in which he was required to give his life for a solid slab, he would; this man could eat pizza three meals a day for … More Here’s why Robby’s Pizza and Wings should be your go-to pizza spot
When it comes to fashion, I have no shame in admitting that I’m not as up-to-speed on current trends and themes as I might like to be. I’ve always had an interest in fashion; when I was younger, I was obsessed with the television series America’s Next Top Model, and I remember being positively enthralled … More What’s your style?
I would wager that the prospect of hobbies and interests is one that has an allure to most of us. The notion of an activity tailored to our own passions must be one we would enjoy doing, as often is the case in the context of hobbies, yet most of us can probably relate to … More Need a hobby?

When it comes to driving, kids who were raised on farms arguably have an advantage. It’s basically a right of passage, while being a child living on a farm, to learn how to drive well before the legal age; I’m not making reference to operating vehicles on roadways, but rather, out in large, open fields, … More How’s your driving?
Fast food and I have what I like to call a delayed relationship. Growing up, my mom tried her best to keep my sister and me away from fast food because it isn’t necessarily the healthiest, and while I can appreciate my mom’s intentions, I still felt a bit deprived of fast food when I … More Fast Food apps: Are they worth using?
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that my love and admiration for manatees stems from when I was a child, and I wasn’t lying. After writing yesterday’s post, I was inspired to see if I could locate a manatee stuffed animal I got when I was about ten from Epcot in Disney World. I can remember … More How well do you know manatees? (part two)
I’ve loved manatees ever since I was a child, and now, in my adulthood years, my love for them hasn’t wavered in the slightest. I find them positively adorable, and I think part of the reason I’ve grown to appreciate them as much as I do is because of hearing stories from my parents about … More How much do you know about manatees?
The concept of film really is a wonderful one, in my opinion. To consider the time, effort, money, and special skills required to create a movie is astounding, really, depending on what sorts of film you’re into, and I do have a significant level of respect for filmmakers and all of the individuals who work … More What movie scene changed your life?
Sleep is something that is absolutely relevant to all of us as human beings, as we are more than likely aware, yet it seems to be something that more of us than not have trouble with. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who, at some point or another in life, hasn’t had some issues … More This small change could make a big difference in your sleep
Thanks to my European background, I love me a solid pierogi as much as the next person. They’re delicious, versatile, and simple yet packed with flavour, and if you, for some unbeknownst reason, have yet to savour the remarkable flavour of these puppies, please do so at your earliest opportunity. I’ve been eating pierogies since … More Air fried… piergoies?
My husband, Blaine, and I have been together for over ten years now. We will celebrate our second wedding anniversary this summer, but he and I started dating when I was 19 and he was 20, and neither of us had been in a serious, committed relationship prior to the one we forged together. We … More Relationship issues? Read this
When it comes to trauma, avoidance is a tactic a lot of us partake in, and understandably so. Trauma can occur in a variety of ways and forms and can vary in severity, but it always encompasses a negative experience or event; trauma is not typically associated with positivity. Because trauma is not a pleasant … More Trauma and avoidance: a deadly combination
Without sounding like someone who neglects their health, I started experiencing pain in my lower back and deep within the front of my hips, simultaneously, a few months ago. I didn’t think much of it at the time, and figured I had tweaked some muscles working out or doing something on the farm. The reason … More Sore back and hips? Read this
When I wrote yesterday’s post about Easter, I was not, initially, anticipating dedicating a second post to the topic. Without sounding ignorant, I honestly did not realize just how much history there is to the holiday known as Easter, and because I was seriously lacking in my Easter knowledge, I figured there are plenty of … More As it turns out, Easter history is quite interesting
Happy Easter, everyone! I realize today’s holiday is not one everyone celebrates, but for those who do, I hope the day is wonderful, and for those who don’t, I also hope your day is wonderful. When I think of Easter, I think of my mom. Easter and springtime are her favourite times of year because … More Happy Easter
After writing yesterday’s post discussing helpful knowledge we should all try and know, I realized that one sole post simply was not enough to do the topic justice. I started thinking about how sharing this information could quite literally save a life somewhere, someday, and this thought then prompted a question – just how many … More Are you prepared for an emergency?
A couple of days ago, my mom, sister and I were having an interesting discussion pertaining to absolutely random knowledge we have learned that just might come in useful one day. I was explaining to my family how I recently watched a video detailing what to do, and what not to do, should you ever … More How savvy are you in random, useful knowledge?
When it comes to therapy, I would wager that there are more methods available today than ever before. I almost feel as though I’m hearing about a form of therapy for the first time on a monthly basis, and that is not a complaint; I think if we are able to develop and construct therapy … More Is somatic therapy for you?
I’ve made mention of the fact I dabble in some English tutoring here and there; I’ve been tutoring for roughly two years now, if I remember correctly, and I can ultimately thank my husband, Blaine, for inspiring me to do so as I believe it was his idea originally. I’ve worked with a variety of … More Writing exercises: kid edition
Easter is just around the corner, and whether or not you celebrate this holiday, I think it is fair to say that the food associated with Easter is worth savouring regardless. Perhaps you have an entire spread planned, or maybe you’re going with something lighter, like finger foods; whatever your plans are, however, you might … More Wake up to some Easter Breakfast Casserole with this recipe
As I explained in yesterday’s post, Keurig and I share a long, complicated history. I’ve been through a few, to say the least, and after the last one crashed and burned, I knew it was time to move on from Keurig and spread my wings in the coffee maker realm. My sister, bless her, was … More Move over, Keurig: This should be your next coffee maker
I have no shame in admitting I may or may not have a slight addiction to coffee. No one believes me when I tell them this, but, believe it or not, I do not, and never have, consumed coffee for its energy-giving abilities; I quite literally drink a coffee every evening around 10pm. As much … More Calling all coffee lovers
When it comes to dessert, chocolate is just about always my preference. I’ve loved chocolate my entire life, and I doubt that my fixation will alter anytime soon; I’m rather rigid in my love and dedication for chocolate, and nothing can take the special place it holds in my heart. I was raised on authentic … More Let’s make Skillet Apple Cake
A child’s imagination really is a thing of wonder. I like to believe that the reason children are able to construct such wild and creative creations in their minds is because they haven’t grown up and therefore haven’t had their minds corrupted by the plethora of unfortunate happenings in this world. I’m not alone in … More The importance of supporting imagination in children
I haven’t discussed anything related to the paranormal realm for quite some time now, and for this reason, allow me to state that I am not a supernatural professional.

I recently came to the troubling realization that the majority of recipes I share here on my blog are food dishes as opposed to dessert recipes. Is this acknowledgement a riveting one in its nature? Absolutely not. But, I certainly don’t want to give anyone the impression that I’m not a fan of dessert, because … More Read this for some Easter dessert inspiration
If you use Netflix, there is a strong probability you’ve heard of a recently released film titled Damsel.
