Author’s note: I’ve never been quite sure what to call this one, so it’s gone by “Untitled”; a story created out of past events and past feelings, but a story none the less.

Over the weekend I had a games night, and it was so much fun! I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while, and I finally found the opportunity to do so. Friends, snacks, and games – what more could you want? Continue reading “Games Night!”
I’m a firm believer that you can never have too much colour in your life, especially now in the fall when the weather’s getting all drab (the trees get it, though, all the reds and yellows and oranges out there on their branches!). While this rainbow cake may not be perfectly in season, it is a ton of fun to make, and even more fun to look at and admire – and, of course, eat! So if you’re looking for an excuse to go a little baking crazy, follow this recipe and you’ll end up with a deliciously whimsical treat! Continue reading “Rainbow Cake!”
So I know it’s been a while since I last posted (for shame, me, for shame), but work had pretty much taken over my life. I wouldn’t have minded so much, if I actually enjoyed my job. But truthfully, I didn’t, and I hadn’t for a really long time. I was desperately trying to figure out something else for myself. Continue reading “Hitting Rock Bottom”
I took a chance, and I’m glad I did, because this is really, really good. I used regular limes, and it tasted delicious, so don’t feel like you need to break your back getting and then squeezing itty bitty key limes. Keep it simple for yourself, and enjoy this amazing sweet and tangy pie! Continue reading “Key Lime Pie”
This here is one of my favourites. A summer pie that’s so good, you won’t believe it’s this easy to make. Continue reading “Delicious Summer Tomato Pie”
Last weekend I finished writing my third novel, and every single part of that sentence astounds me. I finished writing my novel at long last, which is incredible and exciting in and of itself, but that also marks my third book written! Whaaaaaa! Crazy. Continue reading “I Finished Writing My Novel!”
It was our last day in Scotland and I was incredibly sad about having to leave, but my spirits were infinitely cheered by the fact that we would also be visiting our last castle of the trip: Craigmillar Castle. Continue reading “Exploring Ruins: Craigmillar Castle – Edinburgh Day 9”
I’ve been on a hot streak with books lately, reading a lot of really great ones, from magical to unsettling to the downright funny. I’ve picked out three from a rather long list of really great books that I’ve read recently, and while all the books are definitely worth a look, these three especially hit close to home for me, for a variety of different reasons. Continue reading “Three More Books Everyone Should Read”
We spent a beautiful sunny day visiting the beautiful Holyrood Palace and Gardens. Holyrood is the active palace of Edinburgh, so it’s where the Queen stays when she comes to Edinburgh. As such, no pictures were allowed inside, which is such a shame because it was soooo gorgeous in there. Imagine glitter, gold, and history all rolled into one, and you might be able to start yourself a picture of the wonder that is Holyrood.
