Our CEO Matt gave us some homework this week that I was actually excited about. He asked us to spend an hour or two exploring a museum during work time because "exposure to the best works and history of others helps us elevate our craft." I'm a huge museum person (we have a Nova Scotia... Continue Reading →
For as long as I can remember I have always looked forward to celebrating ringing in a new year. I don't wish time away by any means, but when we get into those final days of December I find myself reflecting a lot. This reflection takes me not only over the past year, but over...

Your favorite day is here! I love how much you love your birthday, really birthdays in general, but of course very much excited over your own. You love to celebrate, even your stuffies birthdays.

Looking back over this past year, the word that comes to mind is proud, incredibly proud. You stepped out of your comfort zone, pushed through some anxiety and grown so much as a result.

I have never owned a Siamese cat before Zeus and wow was I missing out! We were never supposed to have Zeus let alone another cat at the time. When Zeus was born we had my senior cat Precious and she was not a fan of other cats, so we weren’t going to bring home... Continue Reading →
At the end of 2016 I purchased a book called "Year of Yes". I am not a huge reader, but I love a book that I can connect to and this was certainly the case for me. I have had anxiety all of my life and although a lot of the time I don't let... Continue Reading →
Roughly 15 months ago, we were super lucky and scored a couple of codes to be able to attempt to buy Taylor Swift tickets. That luck increased when we actually made it through the queue in time to purchase 4 tickets. Fast forward to November 13th, 2025... Caile, Ella, Amanda and myself are headed to... Continue Reading →
You will be up early today, that I know for sure. 🙂 I love your excitement for birthdays, especially your own. You always wake up happy, ready to start the day with stories to tell. I am not sure how you have that much conversation in you in the early hours of the day, but... Continue Reading →
