How to Sasquatch Like a Pro: 2013 Edition
Sasquatch. This was the first year I went. What seems like a million years ago now, OJ and I made plans to go. The conversation went a little something like this: “Hey. So Sasquatch tickets are on sale this week. We should go, right?” “Obviously.” Throwing caution and any ...

Real, Perfect or Positive: Your Choice
This morning a discussion started on the Kick Point twitter timeline about the Reasons Why My Kid is Crying tumblr account. I had seen the internet buzzing about for a few days, but hadn’t actually looked at the site until people were talking to Kick Point about it. I had some feelings. I w...

The Really Long Post About Jolly Old England
After an uneventful flight (holy-god-I-flew-Air-Canada-what) I got to Heathrow. I was quickly whisked through the terminal to arrive at the UK border. The moment was a little surreal. And nice! It didn’t feel hostile like crossing into the US. And, my guard was hilarious. They ask your occu...

London Bound
Yesterday I woke up to find the most exciting email in my inbox: That’s right, my blog post won the contest that Distilled was running! Next week on Wednesday evening I’ll be boarding a plane and winging my way to London. I can hardly believe it! Of course, because the Kick Point crew...

Stupid Internet Fads, Music, Shit I’m Doing with OJ, and Things I’ve Read
There are a million tiny thoughts floating around my brain, this is the brain dump post: - My official position on the Harlem Shake? Recommend I do one and I will punch you in the face. And I know, I know, I know, lots of really rad people that I adore have made them. But [...]

Part Two: Conditions
Whispers in the dark: Would an entire bottle of pills work? Would the insurance company notice if there were to be an accident in the mountains? Would you miss me if I was gone? You could start over. You could start over. Without. Me. Hot tears streaming down my face. Fear choking every breath. T...

Your Roller Derby Questions: Answered
Since I joined Oil City five months ago, I’ve gotten a crap tonne of questions about what it’s like to play roller derby and/or be a derby girl. I thought I’d throw them all into one ridiculous long post for your reading convenience. Weren’t you terrified of joining? Yes. ...

Woke Up New
My heart swells, fills and is crushed again. Over and over. All the tears. I don’t expect them, but here they are – my constant companions. You are a tumble of memories and an avalanche of aches. You’re gone. A piece of me lives; a piece of me dies. I soar and then I stumble. [...]

Other Things I’ve Written
If I haven’t convinced you that the life of a digital marketer is glamorous and tons of fun. I have another piece of evidence to offer: I wrote this post for work about the value of content and getting it in front of the right people. A hybrid post of humor, relationship building, with a [...]

Wasted On Love
December and January seem to meld together in an endless, frighteningly long month of all the things, with a few more sprinkled in for good measure. At the end of it all? Tiredness. But I’m totally the drunk tired that loves everyone and needs to tell them, all the time. “No. No. No. ...

Twenty Nine Goals
I made a rather ambitious list of things that I had hoped to accomplish in my 29th year, and miraculously I got a bunch of it done. After New Year’s resolutions – apparently they work. I’d say I’m about halfway done this one. I didn’t complete the meal and workout p...

Two Years Old
Two! Today is the day that I will officially stop counting your age in months (otherwise people will think I’m nuts). We had a small party for you with Grandpa, Grandma, Dave and Lola. We ate your current favourite foods: hotdogs, french fries, beans and vegetables. For dessert you had ice ...

Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas: Saskatoon Berry Jam
You could say I was on a bit of a kick this year. For a few weeks leading up to Christmas I was trying to decide what I would make for hostess/oh-my-god-I-need-a-present-for-so-and-so gifts. I was thinking that I might use the last of this summer’s Saskatoons on a vodka infusion, but then I...

Highlight Reel: 2012
As I’m slowly coming out of the red wine and champagne fog from last night, I’ve been thinking about the last year. It was a really good year. Sure, there were challenges (and some of them pretty weighty), but overall I feel that I have an abundance of love and good things in my life....
