Happy 34th birthday to my husband! Josh was born in B.C. and I was born in Saskatchewan, but we met in Alberta at a Halloween party when Josh was 23 years old. I’ve known you for 11 years, Husband! Yes, we have known each other for 11 years, but it feels like more- in a good way. The minute…

Does your kid hem and haw when they get a birthday party invitation? Or do they jump at the chance? I was a jump at the chance kid, until a certain age. My kids are of the hem and haw variety. They don’t connect with a ton of kids, so when they do and they get a party invitation, it’s…

Our last house was haunted. I tell this story over and over, but this ghost story still gives me chills. So far, so good at Blue Moon Cottage- no ghosts. This is an old story and I can’t believe I never shared it before now- probably because I was too freaked out. We moved into our last rental (last rental…

My name is Tianna and it’s a pleasure to meet you! I wanted to do a quick re-introduction of myself since I have a few new people coming over to read. This adds to the info in my Welcome page where I talk about my family, where I currently live and why I’m gluten-free. Here I will just add some…

I’m militant about people wearing sunscreen. I remember learning about our depleting ozone layer in school and being horrified- and it’s worse now! People have a lot of excuses to not wear sunscreen but I really, really, really want people to change their minds. The difference between UVA and UVB rays confuses people- including myself, so I looked it up.…

I have struggled with eating disorders on and off for a long time. Even today, I’m aware that restrictive diets or plans could trigger old habits. I still find it hard to admit I had a problem. It’s very hard for me to talk about, even today. I was treated with body dysmorphic disorder but it took a long time…

Our long weekend in Huntington Beach, California could also be titled, “What I Ate in Cali” because the food was so incredible! And, also, I love eating. We just got back from the beach and I am already dreaming of going back! We won this trip to Huntington Beach through Josh’s outstanding achievements at work, so I was all the…

I love oatmeal lately: it’s easy, filling and has infinite flavour possibilities. My love affair with it was reignited after we got back from vacation. I got sick and needed something easy on the stomach so I made some plain oatmeal. It hit the spot and I became hooked. For the past two weeks, I’ve had it every morning! I…

Remember the feel of vacation? It’s a never-ending weekend! Remember the freedom and ease that follows every decision? I want that sensation to last for us forever. But, when we get home, real life obligations crowd in. The feel of the never-ending weekend begins to fade. We become stressed, overworked and under-slept. But what if we could get that weekend…
