After months of procrastination, I thought it was about time that I wrote something about my favourite Iceland attractions I came across on our first road trip around Iceland. I had been putting off writing it down, partly because I didn’t think my words could do justice to the experience, and partly because I hated…… Continue reading Iceland Attractions: Must-See and Do in the South and East

Less Than Two Weeks Until Iceland!
This is a very late weekly post, but better late than never! I count Monday as first day of the week so, in theory, I didn’t miss a post. At least that’s what I like to believe. Our trip to Iceland is now only less than two weeks away! Of course I had to come…… Continue reading Less Than Two Weeks Until Iceland!
What A Week!
Since the last time I posted, I experienced my very first severe Canadian ice storm (yes, in frickin’ April!), bombs exploded during the Boston Marathon killing 3, bombs exploded in Baghdad killing a lot more than in Boston, major earthquakes happened in Iran, fertilizer plant exploded in West, Texas and practically flattened the whole town,…… Continue reading What A Week!
Birthdays and Such
And so I turned 40 on Sunday, which means that it’s been 10 years since the last time I heard my mother wish me a happy birthday. I couldn’t sleep the night before my birthday. Kept thinking about my mother. Made me cry a little. I only slept for 3.5 hours that night at most,…… Continue reading Birthdays and Such
Things I Want to See and Do in Iceland, Part One

My father-in-law asked me this past weekend what I was looking forward to the most about the trip. My first answer was: being in Iceland! Second answer:…… Continue reading Things I Want to See and Do in Iceland, Part One
Iceland, Soon
Because I was feeling blah (damn you, hormones!), I thought I’d watch some videos of Iceland to cheer myself up. Our trip there is only a month and a half away now. Yay! I installed a countdown app on my tablet last night. I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. Having the app…… Continue reading Iceland, Soon
The 2013 Annual Tundra Swan Trip
This past Saturday, we went for our annual trip to Aylmer to check out the migrating tundra swans that were re-fuelling (read: eat a lot of corn courtesy of the local conservation authority) before continuing their journey to their summer vacation spots up at the Arctic tundras. The weather wasn’t great that day. It was…… Continue reading The 2013 Annual Tundra Swan Trip
Lovely Saturday
This past Saturday we decided against going on a thrifting round, which is what we usually do on a Saturday. When my husband asked what I felt like doing that day, I said, “Going to Goderich and get two dozen butter tarts!” and to which he said, “That’s what I’m thinking, too!” We are so…… Continue reading Lovely Saturday
Picture This
A brand new niece came into the world almost a month ago, and as always, Aunt Firda, the long-suffering family photographer, was summoned to capture the craziness for posterity. You know what kids can’t do? Sit still. You know what poor Aunt Firda doesn’t have? A super fast lens. Like, f/0.7 fast. If photography is…… Continue reading Picture This
