Smuggler Cove is a short hike through a provincial park, about ten minutes away from us. Peter and I hiked through the park about two years ago and went back again on Saturday to enjoy a gorgeous day of sunshine. The path starts out rough but groomed with boardwalks taking you across the marshy sections.… Continue reading Smuggler Cove Hike
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the Heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the Heavens to give light upon the Earth." And it was so.… Continue reading Signs of Spring
When you think Spring Break, you generally think "beach", right? Me too. However, that's not what my spring break vacation looked like this year. Pictured below: Spring Break 2013 Peter and I snuck away for a few days in Whistler. You might know it as the ski resort town that hosted the 2010 Olympics. You… Continue reading Snow and Sunshine – Spring Break 2013
Like I mentioned in my previous post, I went shopping last weekend. It was the first time I've done a lot of shopping in a while and I wanted to share some of it with you. So I took this picture: But man, that's boring. That's just some clothes on a bed. And that t-shirt… Continue reading Fashion Blogger Fail

A trip to Vancouver (aka "The Big City") This included such… Continue reading Eight Highlights of the Weekend
March 8th is International Women's Day. I am very aware that I live in one of the best times and places to be a woman. No, it's not perfect and there is much work left to be done, but I'm also very, very fortunate. In honour of this day, I thought I would share with… Continue reading International Women’s Day – A Book List
First signs of spring outside of my front door. I can't tell you how happy snowdrops make me every year. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 This was a verse our pastor referenced in his sermon… Continue reading Rejoice and Give Thanks
Finally, the ickiest episode of The Bachelor. The one where they travel to a foreign country and show their ignorance of that country's customs. Oh, wait, no, I mean the episode with the "fantasy suites" where Chris Harrison sets up a weird situation. Sean arrives in Thailand and tells us, "It looks like something out… Continue reading Bachelor Sean – Episode 9
On Saturday morning Peter and I explored the Homesite Creek trails. This looping hike is just a few minutes up the highway from where we live. You can't really complain about the rain when it means you get to live in the middle of such green lushness. A fallen tree seems to have diverted the… Continue reading Homesite Creek Hike
Not to keep harping on my awesome view but...we have a pretty killer view. The fun part though is that it's different at every hour of the day. The tide changes, as tides do. It swirls in and out around that rock in the centre. To the right of where the above picture is, a… Continue reading Views From The Deck
