Wordless Wednesday: Let’s Get Outside
Crossing the Finish Line
I was up at 5:30 a.m. and less than four hours later it was all over... Yesterday I participated in the Calgary Marathon 10 kilometre event. I ran/walked through the streets of Cowtown with several of my coworkers. I'm proud of myself and my fellow coworkers for finishing strong. In the past I've participated in... Continue Reading →
11.5 kilometres and counting
I had my first official guest in my new condo this past long weekend. And it was a special visitor - my mom. It was a fun and busy weekend. We share a love of the outdoors and exercise so most of the weekend was spent exploring the nearby mountains and foothills. We travelled to... Continue Reading →

In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede taking place in July, I plan on making a few western wear purchases.

Wordless Wednesday: In the (Red) Bag
I have a new favourite Calgary shopping centre. Cross Iron Mills outlet mall is located just north of Calgary, Alberta. On a recent shopping trip I scored several sweet deals including this beautiful red bag at the Coach outlet store. What do you think?

We’re Not in Manitoba Anymore

Wordless Wednesday: Bras and Ball Caps
You know you're a country girl when a highlight of your weekend skiing in the mountains is escaping the city, cruising down a two-lane highway and admiring the cattle grazing in the pasture along the road. During my country drive this past weekend I came across these ball caps sitting on fence posts along a southern... Continue Reading →
My New Digs
I'm very happy to report that I'm no longer homeless. I recently moved into a new condo in Cowtown. Join me for a tour of my new digs. And a big thank you to my parents and my Winnipeg friend Britta for helping me move! You may have also noticed that I've even hung several... Continue Reading →
Wordless Wednesday: The Travelling Couch
This past weekend I welcomed home my black leather couch. It was purchased six years ago in Medicine Hat, Alberta while I was living there. It then made the trek east to Manitoba and sat in storage on the farm for awhile. From there it was moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where it made itself at... Continue Reading →
