“I’ll never know, and neither will you, of the life you don’t choose. We’ll only know that whatever that sister life was, it was important and beautiful and not ours. It was the ghost ship that didn’t carry us. There’s nothing to do but salute it from the shore.” ― Cheryl Strayed
This Is What Makes Us Girls
Left: I saw this and got actual butterflies. BUTTERFLIES! Over un-inflated balloons! Who am I? I feel so inspired and giddy just thinking about decorating with my own balloons in jars. I’m imagining an all white home office with a … Continue reading
Phases & Faces
Today I’m inspired by these disguised wonders. I haven’t felt very “me” this week and I’m really starting to miss myself. I’m making a conscious effort on this sunny morning to slip out of my slump and return to my … Continue reading
Happy Birthday, State & Occupation!
“With writing, we have second chances.” ―Jonathan Safran Foer Left: A year ago I created my first post on what I called “dakotabee.wordpress.com“. I had read that you should always have some meat on your blog bones before unleashing it into … Continue reading
Short & Sweet
The post is short and sweet but despite being the one that contained my 22nd birthday, this week has been anything but. I can’t wait to get on the road to Saskatchewan for a weekend of camping, surrounded by good people who keep me belly laughing.
Top Left: I came across this photo via this instagram account and can’t believe how much I love it. I’ve never been one to put too much thought into my future wedding, but if it was today- I think I’d pick this gown.
Top Right: I’d happily come home to a mint front door any day of the week. And while we’re on the topic, I picked up this minty bag the other day as a belated birthday gift for myself!
Bottom Left: I’ve found the newest craft to throw in my Things To Make pile. Except I’d design it based on Meal‘s features, naturally.
Bottom Right: This picture made me smile this morning. Looking so forward to shaking up the weekly routine and spending some quality time with nature this weekend. (It’s not you Cubicle, it’s me.)
Happy Friday! xo

Rings & Things
I had the kind of weekend I haven’t had in years. I stayed in Friday and Saturday night, I did crafts and I baked muffins, my mum and I ate pizza for dinner (twice!), I organized my bedroom, I did … Continue reading
Ice Cream & Updates
I haven’t felt like posting anything lately, with one big question in mind: How could I follow a post about death and self acceptance with my usual goofy chatter of cats and dresses and things that make me laugh? Today … Continue reading
My Body And I
My sister and her fiancé lost a friend of theirs to cancer this week, and I wanted to share something Kira wrote in the days before her passing: Eventually we can’t keep this up anymore- my body and I. We … Continue reading
A June Baby
June has been my favourite month since I was a kid, mostly because of my birthday bias but also because it always represented the end of the school year and the start of summer vacation. While summer vacation isn’t a … Continue reading
