Living on a farm is a weird and wonderful thing. Nearly everyone you meet dreams of living on a farm, although very few realize the amount of work that goes into running one. Plants and animals don't care about weekends or holidays, and often the amount of work that needs done in a day is much greater than eight hours worth. This is especially true during harvest time. Our family has been running hard for the last six weeks already picking apples, plums, pears, pumpkins, potatoes, squash, gourds, and more, and we're all eagerly awaiting November 1st (aka: the next day our store is closed)!
Read MoreClara and I woke up early on our final day in Jasper in order for us to catch the gorgeous morning light, and the sunset as it bathed the mountains in soft pink tones.

Read More2015. How the heck did we get here? I've loved reading other bloggers/instagrammers/friends New Year's resolutions/goals, although I haven't actually sat down to make my own list.

This resonated with me, and I quite liked the idea of having a theme instead of concrete goals. (Not that goals are bad...but I always feel so guilty when I don't reach them).
Read MoreNavy and mustard. Two of my favorite colours, in one dress. With lace. This is what dreams are made of.
I knew that I had to have it as soon as I saw it....and then stalked it for weeks and waited for it to go on sale. Mennonite to the end, I am.
Read MoreSunrises are the best. And this was a morning where I allowed myself to imagine that I had just stepped out of an Austen novel, and was wandering the English countryside.
(Bad news...I wasn't actually in England. More bad news...Mr. Darcy never showed up!)
