Like it always is, April was a blur. Made more so because of course I have to make cakes for everyone.

I hate March. No offense to everyone born in March, but your month is the worst. It is theoretically part of Spring, so it carries that promise, but it’s still winter. It’s totally still winter. The first half of this month was tough for me. Three things happened at once: My mom left after a … More March 2022 Round-Up: Recovery
You know how they say, when you have little kids, “The days are long, but the years are short”? This month, the days have been short, but the month has been long. Partly because it’s been in the -30s with windchills in the -50s pretty much all month. Partly because most of the month was … More January 2022 Round Up: Lockdown
It’s that time again! Time to look back over the year that was, and think about the year ahead. This has become an essential part of the Christmas season for me, part of the celebration. It’s the view from the mountaintop: looking back, I see the highlights, and they make me thankful. Looking forward, I … More 2021 In Review

Even though all I have to show you is progress pictures from my phone! … More November 2021 Round-Up: Xmas In Progress
Every fall it seems, I pick up a new hobby. Two years ago, it was weaving. Last year it was quilting. This year, it’s dog ownership. Sisko Kamik Osborn turns eight weeks old tomorrow, meaning he’s finally the age that we should be adopting him. That said, we’ve enjoyed the extra bonding time. He was … More October 2021 Round-up: Dog
It’s not every day that your little sister gets married. Our summer was largely structured around the joy of getting to go down south for nearly two months, to see our families and be a part of Leah’s wedding. Now that I’m kinda into quilting a little (haha), this was also the perfect excuse to … More Wedding Rings
What happened to May? It sort of when “whoosh.” May – or the turning of spring, wherever you are – is complicated. Winter is cozy, expectations all buried under the weight of cold. But then the warming weather thaws those hopes, and greets them with the discomfort of damp that stiffens the joints, and hunger … More May 2021 Round-Up: Tree on Fire
April is always odd and overwhelming, since four of our family’s five birthdays are in April. This time, though, this mostly involved a series of desserts and gifts wrapped in copies of the Nunatsiaq News. MiniMighty and Dooner were supposed to have a shared birthday party, but life happened, so the party hasn’t. If I … More April 2021 Round-up: Cabin Time
