Hello everyone. I am going to be taking a quick break from this blog, and this time I am actually telling you! Also this time, I do not plan on going away entirely. I am going to try and post maybe once a month for the next little while, but not on any kind of schedule. This will be more …

This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada. It’s definitely a weird one as people make difficult decisions about their plans and who they will be able to see. Personally, due to the rising numbers in Ontario, we have decided not to make the trip to see my family this year. It’s a bummer, especially with Cassidy being a lot more …

On July 31st, my beautiful daughter turned 1 year old! I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone by. Even though we had to cancel the big huge party we were planning because of the current pandemic, we did have a party with just family. We actually had 2 parties! We decided that it would be best if …
Depression, Mental Illness
Everyone has bad habits. Biting our nails, leaving the lid off the toothpaste, cracking our knuckles, to name a few. However, there are some bad habits that tend to be consistent among those with depression. A lot of these bad habits are actually a symptom of the illness, so it’s not surprising that someone with depression would have at least …
