Posting this for no other reason than to cheer you up, if you’ve had a bad day. This was one of the little cuties I got to snuggle at Puppy Yoga on Sunday with @royallyfit.ca and @bernedoodle_gardens . Seriously, how can you be in a bad mood with this sweet little face? #puppyyogatoronto #bernedoodlegardens #bernedoodlesofinstagram #puppies #yoga #cheerup #lookatthatface #snuggles #socute #adorable
Is it just me, but is there just a bit of fall in the air today. It’s still a warm day, but just doesn’t seem to have that summer feel. Am I wrong? Fall is my favourite season, but I do NOT want summer to end yet. Who’s with me? #fallintheair #summerlovin #dontwantsummertoend #somethingintheair #thatsummerfeeling
We didn’t let a little (ok, a LOT) of rain get us down and had a fantastic weekend camping at @sibbaldpointpp with @canadian_gem. Can’t wait for our next camping adventure. #camping #ontarioprovincialparks #sibbaldpointprovincialpark #campingtrip #weekendcamping #tentcamping #tentlife #exploreontario #ontarioroadtrip #campinglife #travelontario #ontariocamping #ontario #discoverontario
Today I was doing a little shopping with the boy at @vintage905 and came across this gem. It was a sudden flashback to 1988, 16 years old with @marykyyc in her brown K-car driving to White Oaks Mall and belting out “It Takes Two”. It was it was just yesterday. If I had any means of playing this, I would have bought it on the spot. #flashback #cassettetapes #16yearsold #kcar #retro #vintage905 #vintage #1988 #whiteoaksmall #greatmemories #shopdurhamlocal
I wasn’t quite convinced that spring was going to be here sooner rather than later until I saw these beauties peaking out yesterday. It hasn’t been a terrible winter but it’s definitely felt long. I’m so looking forward to warmer, sunnier days to get out and enjoy. #springiscoming #goodbyewinter #springhassprung #longtimecoming #lookingforward #warmerdays #enjoythesunshine
Talk about stepping so far out of my comfort zone. Today I participated in Cold Camp hosted by @thewell.canada. We conquered our fears and spent 4 minutes in Lake Ontario today (the last official day of winter). The lake temperature was around 4 degrees Celsius (38 Fahrenheit for my American friends). It’s something I never thought I could do, but I am so glad I did it. Thanks @canadian_gem for convincing to go and encouragement. I can’t wait for our next adventure. #coldwater #polarplunge #coldwatertherapy #outofmycomfortzone #ifeelamazing #adventures #lakeontario #lastdayofwinter #coldlake #neverunderestimate #adventurewithfriends
The pattern in this material may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I like it and that is all that matters. I‘be been inspired to do some more home decor updates so I can’t wait for my next thrifting trip to see what I can find. #thrifting #diycurtains #thriftingfinds #recycledmaterials #homedecor #sewing #curtains #recycledmaterial #fabricscraps #thriftstorefinds #valuevillage #valuevillagefinds @valuevillage_thrift
February portion of my temperature blanket is finally done. Can’t wait to see how it evolves. #crochet #temperatureblanket #dailycrochet #crochetblanket
I may have found a pink drink dupe. If you happen to try it, let me know what you think. It’s definitely a good and much cheaper alternative. #pinkdrink #pinkdrinkdupe #recipe #canadianversion #pinkdrinks
So its official, A Boy and His Mom is now Cathy Unfiltered. This is not to say, I won’t be talking about him or including him, the focus won’t be on “the boy”. But truth be told, a lot of times I felt I needed to write more of what I thought people wanted to hear and less of what I actually wanted to say. Sometimes when people hear the word unfiltered, they think rude, crude, and obnoxious.
Some days I feel like I know what’s going on but a lot of the days I still feel like such a newbie. I’ve often heard people say they can’t understand how people make it their full time job. But over the years, you blog/social media will evolve and you may want to push it in an entirely new direction, change your logo, change your name to make it more cohesive to the person you are now. So after these 5 years, I have grown a lot as a blogger but am looking forward to the next 5 years to see how things will grow and change.
Who would have thought I would ever be excited about Brussels sprouts? However, I find most recipes feed 4 or more, and I either end up eating leftovers for days, or wasting a lot if I don’t end up enjoying it. I happened across this recipe on a TikTok by Halle Burns and decided to give it a try. Brussels sprouts are one my favorite veggies, so her recipe looked so good.
