Sweat It Out Sunday Week 2

Hey guys! I thought I'd give you a little update with how my workout regiment is coming along. I've finished up my second week of Revolt, and I'm still in love with it. I'm continuing to get up at...

Sweat It Out Sunday!

If you would've told me a month ago that I would be getting up at 7 am to exercise, I wouldn't have believed you. If you would've told me that I would be following a diet plan, I probably would've...

Backyard Exploring

This past Sunday we decided to go on a walk and explore the area around my grandparent's acreage. I grew up out there, but it's been a long time since I've wandered along the river path and...

Adventures With Tungsten Film

All's been quiet on the blog front here as you may have noticed. Not much has been happening in our lives. We've been experiencing snow storm after snow storm, and that always dampens my...

Who Likes Weddings? Who Likes Videos? Contest Time!

Whoa, wait a minute...what the heck is this with a wedding video contest? Well, I was contacted by my good blogger friend Stephanie, who runs a fantastic wedding cinematography company with her...

Books and Baking

This year I've been on a real book-buying kick. From blogging to DIY to small business, I've been purchasing books like it's going out of style. I should probably just break down and buy an eBook...

CAMERA GIVEAWAY!

I thought it would be fun to have another giveaway on the blog. I absolutely love film photography, and one of my favourite toy cameras is the Action Sampler from Lomography. It takes 4 sequential...

Who Likes Giveaways?

Although you wouldn't know it here, it's spring! At this point in Alberta I'm looking forward to not having to contend with snow and -20c temperatures. I just want the flowers to start blooming,...

Trip Back In Time

Last fall Raimund and I had this "thing" where we liked driving down random dirt roads to look for abandoned houses. On one of our last trips of the season, we stumbled upon the old site of the...

Our Wee Axolotls

Before I jump into this post, I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who participated in the Totally Awesome Blog Hop! I've found so many rad blogs through this, and a big shout out to Chantilly...

Mail Swap with Another Erin

A few weeks ago Erin from Predictions for the Past and I did a mail swap! It started with a photo I had posted on Instagram. She really liked the image of Raimund holding our Yashica camera, and I...

CALLING ALL PENPALS: I NEED YOUR INFO!

Hi guys! A month ago I posted the question that if I started a penpal group, would you join? I received an overwhelming positive response, so ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO! In the coming week I'll be posting...

Today was spent drinking ice chai, visiting with family, and chasing sheep around the farm. Well, we didn't chase the sheep. Raimund's brothers and their dogs did all of that, we just watched. At...

Overwhelmed and So Forth

You may have noticed I haven't been blogging as much lately. It's amazing how busy I've become lately. That, and in all honesty I've been feeling pretty distracted. Tired. Bummed out. So, what's...

Piercings and Jewelry and Etsy, OH MY!

I've had my septum pierced for a while, and lately I've been wanting to change up my jewelry. Sure, it's nice having a regular ring, but I find some are a bit too big for me. I'm a 16 gauge and...

I'm Alive!

Hi guys! Long time no see! I just wanted to write a quick post to say yes, I'm still alive, and no I haven't abandoned my little blog yet. The past two weeks have been pretty hectic for me...

Family Day And I Gotta Work

The title pretty much sums up my day. It's Family Day here and I'm stuck working tonight. It's pretty sweet though, I'm training to learn how to be a switcher/director for our news show. Yeah! I...

Penpal Group Anyone?

Hey guys! Do I seem distant on here? That's probably because I've fallen in love with one of my favourite hobbies again -- penpalling. I'd almost forgotten how much I love sending and receiving...

Baby Axie Update

I'm sure by now you're wondering how the heck our little brood of axolotls are doing. For the most part they're amazing! We've had them for a week and a half now, and they've become voracious...

Lost Letters & Rekindled Friendships

You guys, I had one of the neatest things happen to me this past weekend. I met up with my mom on Saturday to go car shopping (that's another story in itself). She had a small bundle of mail for...

The Babies Are Here!

On Saturday we finally got our axolotl babies! A man who lives 5 hours away was selling a bunch of his babies (his main axolotl laid 150 eggs!) and he decided to drive down to Edmonton, as he...

Action Sampler Madness

Ahhh, I completely forgot I had these photos until I started looking through my pile of developed prints! They're from last summer and they're making me wish it wasn't snowy and cold out again....

Spur Of The Moment

Last Wednesday night my friend/tattoo artist had posted on his Instagram account that he had some free spaces on Thursday and Friday for tattoos. I replied back writing "I wish!" Then I thought...

Abandoned on Film

You may remember my post on Lomography's Earl Grey film. Well, the film I showed as an example returned to the photo lab yesterday after being processed! The photos were from our adventure checking...

The Faroe Islands

A few years ago I came across and fell in love with a beautiful little country in the north Atlantic called the Faroe Islands. Whenever I mention this place to people they either already know about...

Expecting!

Our family is growing and we're expecting! I'm so excited, and so are Ben and Raimund. No, not human babies...axolotl babies! Three babies! I've been wanting to get a few more axolotls to add to...
