My friend over at Smelly Socks and Garden Peas invited me to contribute a guest post to her Lessons in Loss series.
At first, I didn’t feel qualified to write a post about loss. When I put my thinking cap on, an idea started to take shape. I was taken back to an emotional time when I lost my hair following my cancer diagnosis.
When it comes to sustainability and environmental issues, there are many inspiring leaders and activists we can learn from. Today, I hand my blog over to the wisdom of these thought leaders by sharing 21 quotes on the environment.

Just 1 day to go now until the big day. As Blogmas starts to wind down, all we have left to do is enjoy the season. For me a big part of that is the Christmas decorations. Decorating is one of my favourite things about the season. It’s so much fun to rediscover all of our treasured Christmas decorations as we unpack them every year.
Is there anything better on a cold day than a steaming mug of hot chocolate? It’s a perfect treat after any outdoor winter activity or as a before-bed treat on Christmas Eve.

Those who know me well will tell you that I love everything to do with Disney. There is something so magical and enduring about the characters that Walt Disney created all those years ago. For me, watching a Disney movie is an escape from everyday life. And, when it’s time for a real escape, there’s nothing like a Disney vacation!
In What’s on my Christmas mix-tape, I spoke of my love for Christmas music. I listen to it in my car, while I work, basically anywhere I can. The playlist I shared in my previous post was a collection of contemporary favourite songs that I love to sing along to. Today, I’ve got my top 7 list of all-time great Christmas albums.
Last week, I shared my secret weapon to making festive dinner preparation easier and less stressful—the slow cooker. Preparing dishes in advance reduces the number of things to pull together at the last minute. Today, I’ve got another recipe to simplify your meal preparation. These slow cooker glazed carrots are the perfect accompaniment to any festive meal.
A few weeks ago, I was honoured to be invited by my friends over at T.B.C… to contribute a post to their Christmas Collaborations series.
