Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 16 Apr 19

I'm really excited - and relieved - that I finally have a move-in date to move into a 4 bedroom house from a tiny 3 bedroom apartment. Tension is really thick in our home due to our current living situation. Our flat is so small...

So today I felt I had to relax again. It has been so long since I actually sat down and read a book and I needed it. I've always been an avid reader and I missed it. I even did minimal housework and curled up with my book for...

Living more simply

Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 27 Jan 19

I'm in the midst of living more simply and learning old skills that women utilised for thousands of years but got lost in the age of consumerism. Well, almost. Nowadays more people are making their own soap and are writing blogs...

I would love to get another cat. I know it won't replace Kitty, but growing up we've always had cats. In both of my foster homes we've each reached a peak of six cats at one time, but for the most part it was three or four cats...
