My boyfriend's family has a cottage that is one of the most beautiful places I have ever had the privilege of visiting. I still remember my first trip to the cottage. It was the longest drive of my life, endless traffic on the 401, and we arrived at 11 pm, way after dark. I didn't know it at the time, but evening is...
Creativity is one of the driving forces in my life. It's something I've always treasured about myself and a part of me I have tried to nurture and grow throughout my life. But lately, I found myself frustrated with my creative side and it is something I want to get out of my system. I love being a creative person. I enjoy experimenting...
I went to a wedding up in Magnetawan (I know, godzundheit right?), Ontario over the weekend and it became glaringly obvious to me that I am not a city girl.
