I really don't know how to write this post. I suspect I wouldn't except for having already shared here about my pregnancy. I was pregnant and now I'm not. Last week, only a couple of days before I would have reached sixteen weeks, our baby died. We don't know why. We may yet get some… Continue reading He Restores My Soul

3 Day Quote Challenge: Day #3
Check out Day #1 and Day #2, as well as Judith's original challenge to find out what this is all about. My third and final quote comes from C.S. Lewis. I could probably share C.S. Lewis quotes all day long but since I'm sticking to things I've read this year, I'm sharing a quote from… Continue reading 3 Day Quote Challenge: Day #3
3 Day Quote Challenge: Day #2
(Check out Day #1 and Judith at ReadandReview2016 to see what this is all about.) My quote for Day #2 comes from Don Quixote. If you've been reading along here then you know that I (finally) finished Don Quixote in March and that it was a long time coming. For such a big book, I… Continue reading 3 Day Quote Challenge: Day #2
3 Day Quote Challenge: Day #1
When I read a book and I come across a line, a phrase, or a paragraph I like, I copy out the quotation in my journal. (And, I confess, if the book belongs to me I fold down the page and/or underline the part I like.) Sometimes I share these quotations when I write my… Continue reading 3 Day Quote Challenge: Day #1

In the News…
Our local paper comes out once a week and covers news and events from Gibsons to Pender Harbour. My favourite section each week is the RCMP report. This column details crimes and misdemeanours that have taken place on the Coast. Generally, it's a lot of traffic issues - drunk drivers, car accidents, an elderly person… Continue reading In the News…
What I Read – May 2015
Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis It's been a while since I read this one and so I'd forgotten that, well, not much happens in the story. It's a creative idea - bringing the Pevensie kids hundreds of years forward in Narnian history so that their return is like the return of King Arthur - but… Continue reading What I Read – May 2015
The Problem with Pretty
The other day while making dinner I turned on Songza and chose an upbeat mix. Pearl was in her chair watching me as I made pizza dough and sang along to the songs I knew. This was how I came to hear Britney Spear's new single for the first time. It's called "Pretty Girls". It's… Continue reading The Problem with Pretty
The Pout
She's had this one down since birth, complete with trembly lower lip. We laugh at it now but wonder what she'll be like as a teenager! And what biological force is it that makes me think even the sound of her crying is adorable? I'm torn between wanting to capture it on video and wanting… Continue reading The Pout
May Day
We did the long weekend up in style this year. The weather co-operated and we participated in what festivities we could with a 12-week-old baby. To be honest, I was more excited about the long weekend before I remembered that Pearl doesn't understand the concept and probably wouldn't let me sleep in. However, I may… Continue reading May Day
