Weekend Coffee Share

I haven't participated in Weekend Coffee Share for a while so here it goes. If we were having coffee I’d be mouthing off how sick I am of the weather.  That April and May have been cold and damp overall.  Yes we had a few nice days – enough to get us mildly excited thinking “it …

Saturday at noon

I'm looking at the calendar and well, I'm a bit in denial.  By the end of the week I will be flipping the calendar to a new month.  I have no idea where the first five months of the year went. Yeah, I know I did a few projects, read a few books and had …

Have you heard of Link Tree?

I'm the first to admit I am behind the eight ball on social media, tools and resources.  That said, I just found out about  Link Tree  while I was taking Instagram Beta course. You know in our Instagram profile we have a space to put one link. It is usually to our blog. It shows …

Bring me happiness – realistic?

I find ideas for a blog posts in the neatest places.  This ones comes from a conversation with a friend at the library. We discussed being happy and how to get there.  A lot of people are saying  do things that bring you joy.  It makes sense. Right?  My friend's take (apologies now if I …

There is life back there

This is a rant.  I’m wondering if anyone else is bothered by it or is it just me “making too much of something". I take public transit. For me that is the bus. On rainy days more people take the bus – they don’t want to get soaked walking say 15 - 20 minutes so …

A year of challenges – newspapers

In case you're dropping by for the first time, I’m having a year of challenges. Each month I’m challenging myself in a different way. I have had a month of snail mail and another of not spending. This past month I was off social media / emails / texting for one day a week. The …

Mighty Ugly – not me the book !

I am a bit of a self-help junkie.  I wanted a book on creativity to get my juices flowing.  So did a search of my library and found Make it Mighty Ugly by Kim Piper Werker. Of course the title caught my eye! The book starts with identifying our "heroes". Or strengths. Things ranging from …

Click over to get all the details and check out other writers doing great stuff.  I am taking a page out Gary's Fiction is Food and continuing my story from last month's battle. Here is last month's entry and the beginning of the story.  Blog Battle March. Alice knocked …

Inexpensive decor to shake things up for Spring

I thought it would be fun to check out inexpensive ideas to brighten up our spaces now that Spring is here.  All these items are under $40.00 Canadian (and US). Macrame hanging basket. I think would look pretty anywhere. This would add warmth to your area. Seagrass basket I  think it would hold a good size …
