February having only 28 days always seems to throw me off; it doesn’t feel like it should be March quite yet! In those 4 weeks, I did a few exciting and fun things: I turned 28 (although I still think of myself as younger than that), I visited a lot of outdoor patios (which thankfully had heaters because...
monthly recap
January 2022: Monthly Wrap-Up
I can’t believe it’s already February! 2022 feels like it’s just flown by so far, even with Ontario’s semi-lockdown in place. My birthday is exactly one week from tomorrow and I am not prepared to get any older, although I am looking forward to picking up birthday cupcakes — and maybe myself getting a few new books! READING...
September 2021: Monthly Wrap-Up
I don’t know about you, but September seems to have flown by: I feel like I blinked and, all of a sudden, Halloween is only 4 weeks away. Though that could also be because my September wasn’t the most eventful, with all my concerts being cancelled and rainy days that had me napping throughout the afternoon. As always,...
August 2021: Monthly Wrap-Up
Happy September! In my heart, fall starts today, but in reality, fall is still a few weeks away. That isn’t going to stop me from wearing long pants instead of shorts, though! I wasn’t as present here as I would have liked to be this month, but I had a really busy August! I was finally able to...
March 2021: Monthly Wrap-Up
Happy April! I still can’t believe how quickly March flew by, but I’m so glad that it’s finally starting to warm up enough that I don’t need to wear a parka and boots whenever I leave the house. I spent a few evenings reading on my patio, but mostly spent my free time biking around the waterfront or...
February 2021: Monthly Wrap-Up
Happy March! The family-sized bags of Mini Eggs are now in stores (and filling my cupboards), which means that spring is almost here. Hopefully that means that the snow will disappear soon, too; I got my fill of skating and tobogganing in February, so I’m ready for it to stop being so cold and wet. READING PROGRESS I...
January 2021: Monthly Wrap-Up
Did it take me 3 tries to write the correct year in this post title? Maybe. January felt like it was both exceptionally long and also like it only lasted a week. I’m glad that it’s over and that my birthday month is finally here, even if I’m only planning to bake myself cupcakes and FaceTime with my...
December 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
Happy New Year, everyone! It seems so surreal to be in 2021 already. There’s always a lot of pressure in January to make resolutions and become the best version of yourself that you can be. This year, instead of being intimidated by it, I’m really energized. I don’t know if I’ll stick to any of my resolutions, but...
November 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
I can’t believe it’s already December! I spent last weekend putting up Christmas decorations with my mom and my 5-year-old nephew, so I’m definitely starting to get into the holiday spirit already. November was a mixed month for me. The sun setting earlier meant that I didn’t get to spend a lot of time outside, so I spent...
October 2020: Monthly Wrap-Up
Happy November, friends! This October was a little strange since so many fall traditions had to be put on pause, but it was so nice to finally have cooler weather and brightly coloured leaves. I’m sad that spooky season is over, but I am pretty excited to start getting ready for Christmas. READING PROGRESS I’m excited to announce...
