Hey everyone, I can come to you with good news this week! I completed four 10 minute sessions of Yoga at the gym and one at home! I am here to tell you that…… *drum roll please*……I can definitely notice some new improvements. Th…

I chose the following video

PSA: This post is going to talk about mental wellness. We all know why our reading week in February falls when it does and this year I really felt it. While part of my brain is always waging a war against me, I felt the battle raging this week. I had plans to film and … Continue reading Giving Myself Grace

Ahhhh…. Reading Week. A welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday school and learning life. This week has offered some opportunities for catching up, reflecting and even a trip to the USA with my kids. Don’t get too excited for me – I live as close to Minot, ND as I do Regina, […]

Hi friends! This week I’ve decided to switch it up a bit and instead of finding different recipes online, I am taking what I’ve learned…

╭────────────────────────────────»»❀❀❀««────────────────────────────────╮ “The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands” Leonardo da Vinci ╰────────────────────────────────»»❀❀❀««────────────────────────────────╯ Welcome everyone, Today, I am going to try and push myself outside of my comfort zone by creating a PixilArt landscape. Last week, I really enjoyed the ClipChamp program, so I am going to use the same video software to document my progress! As demonstrated in the video, I began by looking up various PixilArt landscapes to gain inspiration. After doing some digging on Reddit website, I found a link to an amazing blog, called SLYNRD, that goes through various tutorials such as animated, static, and mini PixilArt projects. It was just my luck that the author provided a landscape pixeling blog, so I had the opportunity to learn and follow along using only this resource. Although I want to say that the tutorial was easy to follow along with… it was not. Instead of providing a video, the tutorial was a continuous Patreon presentation on loop that could not be paused. The slides – having roughly 10 seconds on content each – moved far too quick for me to follow along and/or keep up with. If I missed a step or demonstration, I had to watch the whole loop again until I got back to that point. After getting frustrated, I just decided to stop watching the tutorial and try to figure out the process – specifically the clouds – on my own. Though I had troubles following the tutorial, I am extremely happy with how my project turned out. The finished product: Now, I want to try something new for next week… and I need your help. What should I create next?! Let me know in the comments below. Thank you so much for reading. Have an amazing week!

This week I decided to test out an article on how to play Ukulele. I have been using mostly interactive apps and videos so I thought I would give an article a try this week. I feel like if I were just starting and using this website I would be very lost and stressed out.

At the beginning of this journey I created a goal to workout 2-3 times per week. This is a goal I have been able to obtain so far (even if some of my yoga sessions are cut short with my baby’s short naps), and I am proud of myself for[Read more]

Over the break, I made a lot of progress on my baby blanket project. This week I focussed more on online tools to keep me motivated rather than learning new things, partly because I wanted to continue working on my blanket instead of doing something new and partly because I needed some external motivation. For motivation, social media really helped me. Seeing other people being able to create things and have fun with things they create was really inspirational. Instagram, TikTok and Faceboo […]
