I am going to keep it short and sweet here with the words because the video I say is ‘quick’ turns out to be over 11 minutes. I can’t help it, there’s lots to cover! In the video description on YouTube I’ve added timestamps so you can reference the key parts later on. So without […]

Noshing on Nostalgia – The Series
Coming soon to a blog near you …. These Things I Love presents Noshing on Nostalgia – The Series! I have some really cool vintage and not-so-vintage cookbooks in my collection that have the recipes I remember from my youth. Perusing these cookbooks and seeing all my mom’s old handwritten notes has given me the […]
Making Kombucha – Part One
Do you like kombucha? I do. My son, Jonas, loves it too. There are a lot of health benefits to consuming fermented foods and beverages like kombucha. I have been making kombucha for quite a number of years now and my kombucha SCOBY has been growing strong ever since I got it in 2017. I […]

Hair Update
Remember when I grew out the grey in my hair and posted about it because I thought it was interesting to random people on the internet? If you don’t remember, you can check out the post from 2017 here and 2018 here. And strangely enough, random people on the internet were actually interested in these […]
Growing Out The Grey Update
I haven’t done an official update since I originally posted about growing out my coloured hair to my natural grey – or whatever was hidden under all that colour. It’s been 14 months since I last coloured my hair. Here’s a picture of what it looked like last July or August, about 7 or 8 […]
Things I Love on Pinterest Right Now
Goodness sake Pinterest is probably my second favorite thing to waste time on these days. Instagram is still my #1 love. But Pinterest is great for when I’ve already seen what I can see on Instagram and I’m bored/lazy/need distracting. Pinterest is literally never ending. I’ll never see everything there is to see on Pinterest […]

{garden} Come On Spring!
My garden is going to be totally delayed. I’ve ordered seeds and they’re waiting patiently in their packets. The thing is, I won’t be able to plant until the last week of May now because it’s still too cold to start now and I’ll be away in the middle of the month. I suspect everyone in my neck of the woods will be planting late.
Getting Dirty: Chronicles of A Rookie Gardener
I go through phases of thinking I’d be a good gardener. I’m even sure I mentioned it here. This time though I have real motivation for it. The CSA program we were looking forward to buying into again this year has been cancelled. I nearly cried when I got the news. I loved our CSA […]

180° and a new view
I have this other draft post saved (with an accompanying recipe) that I’ve been meaning to publish but keep hesitating. Why? I guess, because I’m afraid of the keyboard warriors and the trolls out there. I should count myself rather fortunate that I’ve only ever dealt with maybe a handful (as in, I could count […]
{review & giveaway} Snappi Baby Cloth Diaper Fasteners
We use cloth diapers on Jonas almost exclusively. If you want to read more about how we cloth diaper and the various diapers we have used so far, you can check out this post. In that post I touched briefly on how we used Snappi diaper fasteners to secure our prefold diapers on the babe before putting on […]
#makeclothmainstream
When I first found out I was pregnant I had some pretty solid ideas about what I saw for myself as a parent, right down to how I diaper my baby. Cloth diapering was not one of the things I thought I would ever do. For a lot of reasons, mostly because, poop is yucky. […]
