Hello from the Prairies 🌻✨
I bake, I garden, and I usually forget what I was doing halfway through! 🧁🌱🐿️
Sprinkling glitter (and distractions) along the way. Excited to find fellow Winnipeggers + cozy chaos souls here 💕

People keep telling me recently how great I look, and part of me appreciates it — but another part aches.
Because the truth behind it isn’t healthy, and I wish “you look good” didn’t always mean “you look smaller.”

Fabric store cashier: “We could be friends. You’ve got a cat bag and a Sailor Moon bag.”
Me: “Wait ‘til you hear this fabric’s for my toddler's Pikachu costume.”
Her: gone. 🐱🌙⚡

When I asked my 2 1/2 year old to not do something tonight, she looked at me and said "That's my rule. I have my own rules coming out of my mouth." 😂 Where do they come up with these things?

Babysitting my nephew this weekend, a 100 pound lap dog. 😍 Having him curled up at our feet in bed is a really nice feeling. It's been almost a year since I lost my old man. 💕

Told myself I’d only listen to one song before bed… one track in and I’m already hooked. 🌙✨🎶

Having a Tuesday off, and just spending the day hanging with my little fam, felt like the perfect reset. Monday's might not be so bad if this was regular thing!

Took our daughter to her first WPG Blue Bombers game. Two meltdowns (mine) later… we survived. 🏈🐿️
This brain is exhausting. Side note: just diagnosed with emotional dysregulation last week. It explains a lot.

I restarted multiple times before finishing. I may have also been listening to a podcast (on ADHD) while out for a walk. 😂

I've been putting a huge focus on learning all I can about my ADHD, cognitive behaviour therapy, and my brain. I'm tired of being stressed, sad, anxious and most of all, alone in my head. Working on positive thinking, a brighter outlook, and rewiring my brain.

On the lookout for more cool humans to connect with—especially if you’re in Winnipeg, love gardens, get distracted easily, and don’t mind a little gardening too. 🌱☕🐿️✨

9 hours later and I realized I never added peanut butter to my grocery list… but I did remember the waffle cones. So I guess my mantra sort of worked. 🐿️✨
My mantra for the past 5 minutes: waffle cones, lunch, peanut butter.
If I stop repeating it, I’ll be halfway through reorganizing the spice rack instead. 🐿️
