Tattoos and sundresses
I did something very out of character the other day. Something completely unlike me. I got tattooed for the first time. Getting the tattoos wasn’t the part that was out of character. I’ve been wanting to get one for a while now, and in light of my upcoming 40th birthday, I planned on getting it…

Pancakes and a stormy walk
A winter storm had been forecasted for the weekend so aside from coffee in bed and blueberry pancakes for brunch, nothing beyond that had been planned for the day.

The Fall season has been pretty extraordinary this year. So much so that I want to savour it in this blog post, especially since it’s been snowing and already below zero cold since Monday. Switching my leather jacket to a winter parka was a quick adjustment I wasn’t ready to make so suddenly. I was…
