Monday was a holiday and my friends and I had plans to go the beach. Unfortunately, the forecast got progressively worse and worse so we decided to stay in the city. Usually that would be a huge disa...
While the boys tended the fire, us ladies went down by the riverside. We tried making flowered crowns (without much success) and enjoyed the soft, pretty light.
Another weekend, another barbecue. This time we went to a park not too far from our house. I didnt live in this area of the city before moving in with Mike, so I am still uncovering cool ne...
Saturday was such a beautiful sunny day. It seemed a shame to stay indoors, so a group of us helped Cayleen re-do her sidewalk (Mike was a huge help, me... not so much). We then treated ourselves to ...
My brother and sister-in-law welcomed little Atlee Folkerts into the world on Saturday. Mike and I hopped in our car Sunday morning so we could spend a few hours with this little guy before the work ...
Last weekend, I visited my dear cousins in Alberta. I grew up with three brothers and no sisters, so these two ladies have always been like sisters to me. Just before I left on Monday morning, someon...
Who doesnt need a mid-week ice cream break sometimes? BDI is a bit legendary around these parts. The protocol is thus: 1. Grab ice cream. 2. Walk over the bridge.In other news:I finished my final pra...
This past weekend, we went to the open house of our friend MacKenzie. She is graduating from the Environmental Design program at the University of Manitoba (yay!) and is more creative than I can wrap...
A few photos from this past weekend. It was a busy one and I was awfully tired by Sunday night. Not my favourite way to start the week, but I am finished my practicum on Friday. I will be able to rel...
We walked to Sarahs place after church on Friday and made dinner together in her kitchen. The food, the sunroom, the reflection of twinkle lights in the windows at night - I loved it all. This chicke...
These wee little green buds are making me very happy. Spring does not often come so soon, so we are just relishing in every minute!Last night, Mike, our friend Kevin, and I threw some stuff on the ba...
After walking on the path for ten minutes, Kari asked us, "Do you want to stay on the path or do you want to explore?" We chose to explore and set off into the bushes. Kd carried around some ...
It felt so nice to be somewhere else - to take photos of things I hadnt seen before. It was worth putting up with all the "photography club" jokes we got over the weekend! ;)Some film photos ...
We headed to my friend Karis family cabin this past weekend. It was a bit chilly, but we had a wood stove to keep us toasty! We ended up exploring a bit outside during the warmer parts of the afterno...
My best friends and I are heading to my friend Karis family cabin this weekend. Im looking forward to the good food, trudging around in rain boots, and building toasty fires (the temperatures are not...
My friend Sarah has this great apartment in a beautiful neighbourhood. The only catch is that parking is terrible. I usually circle around for fifteen minutes before I find a spot (admittedly, this i...
Saturday morning we woke up and felt like brunch. So, at ten oclock, we sent our friends a facebook message. By eleven, there was a crowd in the kitchen. We had a veritable feast of waffles and fresh...
My cousin reminded me that I havent posted lately (hi Kayla!). I realized it was true. I guess I have a bit of the winter and end of term blahs. Ive been doing a lot of homework lately, and its ...
I was out at my brother and sister-in-laws place this past weekend for my nieces birthday. Sunday morning, I wanted to head out and take some photos. These two cuties pleaded to join me. They lasted ...
A few more photos from our weekend in Gimli. We wandered around the provincial park and didnt run into a soul. We then visited the snowy harbour in town. Its such a different place in the summer.
On Sunday night, we headed out of the city to Gimli, Manitoba. We stayed the night and took full advantage of the provincial holiday on Monday (Louis Riel day).Our good friend Linda is from Gimli and...
On Saturday evening, we had an Italian potluck at our friends place. They have a darn cute dog and a lovely home.I made Panna Cotta for the first time using this recipe and topped it with D...
Skating at night sounds like the quintessential Canadian pass-time. Truthfully, I havent done it in a few years. However, our friends recently made a skating rink on their property in the country and...
While eating crepes last Saturday, Mike and I talked about how it would be so nice to do so with friends. So this past Saturday, fifteen friends came over (toppings in hand!) for crêpes. I dont think...
Winnipeg winters are known for being bitterly cold. While some relish all the snow sports that the season provides, I much prefer holing up inside with a book (never the sporty type!). However, this ...
After church on Sunday evening, we went out with some friends. The place was named Cousins. Mike and I had never been there before and it turned out to be one of those "looks-like-a-dive-on-the- o...
Saturday:..Crêpes and Modern Family (a winning combination)..Double date with my brother and his girlfriend (we like that they laugh a lot).
Our wedding was recently featured in a local wedding magazine. It was quite a thrill to see our favourite day ever so prominently displayed. Its also been kind of fun to run into people who have read...
In an effort to use up some gift cards (and lets be honest - to put off grocery shopping a bit longer), we decided to have a progressive dinner of sorts, using only our random gift cards. It didnt le...
My friends and I had our first Book Club meeting yesterday. Its about time that Im in a book club. Ive been dying to be in a book club since I was probably seven years old!We met yesterday to discuss...
