Sometimes, when you’re going through a rough time, or when depression may be showing its ugly face again, it may be hard to feel grateful for what you do have. It’s easy to despair when chronic illness causes debilitating pain, or when luck doesn’t seem to be on your side.

Is Your Health Research Good Enough?
The age of information has several advantages. It’s never been easier to find answers to burning questions. With a few taps of a keyboard, a sea of information can be yours, and research has moved beyond card catalogues and long hours in libraries (though you should still spend long hours in the library).
This easy access to information is both a blessing and a curse. Continue reading “Is Your Health Research Good Enough?”
Newfounland, you definitely make an impression
I’m experimenting with a new way of writing down my memories. I’d love to know what you think. Do you like this type of writing, or do you prefer a simple “this is what we did” account?

Make Time for Reading
I love reading.
But this love didn’t start early. As a child, I loved writing, but reading really wasn’t my thing. Recently, I had an epiphany. When I was a child, I was pushed fiction books to read all the time. That’s about all we were given (other than textbooks, obviously) as kids in school.
Nomad Families to Follow
We are truly enjoying our nomad lifestyle so far.
I love life on the road; it feels like home to me. I’ve always enjoyed travel and adventure, and after turning our first dream into a goal and accomplishing it, it was that much easier to make other dreams into reality.
Do You Believe in Romance After Kids?
Romance after kids: Is it possible?
I’m not going to lie: romance after kids is hard. After having my third child, romance fell to the bottom of my priority list. Between diaper changes (and EC life), caring for two toddlers while breastfeeding and getting used to a newborn, keeping up a house and cooking, there wasn’t much time left for anything else. By the end of the day, I was completely exhausted, and I just wanted to sleep. And many moms of young children feel the same way. But it doesn’t have to be like this. Keeping the romance alive in your marriage is not only possible, it’s an important part of a thriving relationship.
The Freedom of Homeschooling
A lot of people ask me why we chose to homeschool. It’s hard to answer that question in a simple sentence.
Travel Makes Me Happy
A long time ago, I had decided I’d write a quick post about something I was thankful for each day. Reality is that publishing this post every day just didn’t happen. But I do want to try this again, so I’m going to try and see if I can at least publish one post per week about the things I’m thankful for. And what better day to do it than on #ThankfulThursday?
The Best Exercise
What is the best exercise everyone should be doing?
The best kind of exercise isn’t one single activity.
Exploring Canada’s National Parks & Historic Sites!
Our time in New Brunswick was short, but really memorable.
Back in Quebec, we decided to purchase a Discovery Pass, and I’m really glad we did. The Discovery Pass grants you entry to all of Canada’s National Parks and several historic sites, so it’s totally worth it if you plan on visiting more than 2 or 3 of these places in a year. The pass is for 12 months, so it’ll last us until next year, which is great.
