geek parenting done right
Any good counsellor will tell you the first step to banishing negative self talk is to sit and figure out the good things about yourself, but it’s easier said than done. What is it about our society that makes it hard to write about our good qualities? I struggle with job interviews, and even with […]
The act of someone cooking a meal for me has always felt like an act of love. The idea of someone going to effort to nourish others seems like the purest expression of love there is. Which brings me to lasagna. I’ve had many lasagnas over the years. My mum makes a pretty good one, […]
Sadly I had to skip last week’s final confession, as Ive been taking a blogging break while I recovered from surgery, but I’m very happy to join Denyse for the first outing of Life This Week. While I’m excited to be embarking on this new link up with the rest of the I Must Confess […]
This week’s confession is all about what you do when you’re feeling blue. Sadly, this is is something I’ve had a bit of experience with lately. Due to endometriosis, I’m in fairly constant pain as well as had some fairly horrific PMS over the last year, so I’ve had more than my fair share of the blues […]
Writing this post was sort of difficult. We all believe in things that we don’t want to share with others because we’re scared it might be deemed ridiculous. I couldn’t quite get to 10 without sounding more than a little cray-cray, but I did manage to find 5 things I believe in that shouldn’t make you […]
I had a very different post planned this week, but I just couldn’t get inspired about anything. Every blogger has those weeks where the block is intense, and you lose your blogging mojo. I’ve started blogging before and I always give up when I get blocked. It happened again. All of a sudden I couldn’t […]
I’m a big believer in the small things in life. I try to show gratitude for the tiniest things, like someone letting me in in traffic or a truly amazing cup of coffee. As a culture though, we don’t celebrate the little things and I think that sucks. Every day wins are wins nonetheless and should […]
My worst habit is definitely putting things off for tomorrow that I really should be doing today. . Hi, my name is Tory and I am a serial procrastinator. I love to design elaborate to-do lists that get crumpled and thrown in the bin because I never actually tick anything off. My favorite saying is ‘that’s […]
Wow the first 6 months flew by didn’t they? Time to evaluate those new years resolutions, question is… I must confess that when I first saw this prompt that as per every year, I figured this would be full of misery, having completely failed at all of my yearly goals. Normally I pick some pretty […]
Thinking about regrets and what you’d change if you had the chance always reminds me of Sliding Doors. Man, John Hannah was a fox. I have such a thing for that guy. He was on Agents of Shield this year and he totally holds up. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. Regrets. Everyone has those things we […]
