Ladies and Gentleman, your attention please: I have just cleaned the bathroom, and I feel like Wonder Woman. Most of you are probably thinking, “Yeah, so? I do that every day (or week, or wh...
Like I said, I did something scary yesterday. I put some photos I took on a facebook page and called it a business. And now my art, my creative blood, is out there running in streams on the interne...
I did something scary this week: I went semi-public with a new business venture I’ve been working on for several months. And now I’m going to go public with it here, with you. Ready? He...
You know those people who’ve known what they wanted to do since they were kids? Are you one of those people? A doctor, a lawyer, a teacher? I envy those people. When I was a kid, I wanted to...
I know I’m always like, “Oh my gosh, my husband is so cute! Ah! I love him!” And it’s true, he is. And I do. But what I would never want you to think is that our marriage is...
If you know me in real life, or if you’ve been reading Great Smitten for a while, you may know that in addition to all my other creative pursuits, I’m also a bit of a singer. Not just you...
I’m going to show you a few photos of myself, and I’d like you to take a guess as to what they have in common. Ready? Here we go: … Okie dokie, any thoughts? Anyone? Alright, IR...
In addition to working with the homeless, my cute husband is also a sound engineer. In fact, that’s what he studied in college, and what he did as a job for years. He still does some recording...
When I worked as a magazine editor, I had a great friendship with our publisher. Her name was (and still is, actually) Brenda. She was in her mid-40s and one of those women who just oozes confidence...
There are just nine weeks left until my 30th birthday. I think. I’ve never been very good at counting. In fact, it’s very possible I’m only 28. In the run-up to the Big 3-0, and ...
Would you mind doing me a(nother) wee favor? I’m doing some planning (Me? Planning? I know, right.) for the coming year, and I wondered if you could just take a sec to let me know where you ...
I’m just coming up for air after a ridiculous Christmas season and a month of sickness in our house. From broken ankles (I have a real problem descending stairs gracefully), to chest infection...
Today’s craft from my friend Sarah is a great little something to work on as you think about ringing in the New Year and getting 2012 started off right. I was just talking to Simon the other d...
Oh… My… Gosh.
I promised you a Christmasy recipe, and a Christmasy recipe you shall get! I was inspired to make Christmas granola by some granola I had from this bakery back in North Carolina. My recipe is very ...
In honor of Christmas this weekend (eeeeeeek!), I’ve asked my lovely friend Sarah to give us another craft project tutorial. The one you’ll see today is so timely – I think youR...
Pretty much everything I’m obsessed with right now has to do with photography. This picture of my beautiful son, which was made possible by my second obsession… My new 50mm lens. I can&#...
My little boy turned one a couple of weeks ago. I also broke my ankle a few weeks ago. Yay, fun! Because I was barely able to walk, our celebrations had to be modified a bit. So, instead of our &#...
I thought I’d share some more photos with you from our trip to Scarborough. Since I’m keeping you hanging on other stuff, the least I can do is show you some pictures, right? My absolute ...
Usually when I go quiet here, it’s because something big is going on. Remember when you didn’t hear from me for a while and then I was like, “Yeah, I’m pregnant”? IR...
I feel like one of those friends who disappears for ages and then calls you up and is like, “Oh my gosh! How are you!? I’ve missed you! Can you do me a huge favour?” But I promis...
Back in September, Simon and I re-visited Scarborough, where we first met eight years ago. (Want to know how that happened? Read our love story – How to Rope an Englishman). We were both 21 t...
Music that makes me feel warm, nostalgic, Fall-y, sad, in love.
Remember last year when I showed you this gorgeous John Lewis commercial? They’ve done a new one for Christmas 2011, and – maybe it’s because I’m a mama to a little boy now,...
Maybe I should say I’m going to post my Obsessions on Saturdays, so that I’ll actually do them on Mondays. Think that would work? Yeah, me neither. Meep! This made-from-whatever Christm...
One of my favorite photographers, Pranee Loffer, shared a quote on her blog recently that I loved/hated: ”Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” -Henri Cartier-Bresson I loved it...
Cripes. I just realized it’s November next week, which means that Autumn (ie, my favourite season) is sneaking by. It also means the holiday season is upon us, and that means we’ve got t...
Since posting a photo of the cake I made for my friend Karen on Monday, I’ve been inundated with emails and facebook messages asking for the recipe. It’s always a little bit difficult han...
There’s this thing my dad says when there’s a lot of stuff happening: “Pigs are poppin’.” I don’t really know what it means or where it comes from, but it has some...
