Our CailyBaby is 16 years old today. Baby Girl, you are simply extraordinary and loved beyond measure. Your dad and I couldn’t be more proud and thankful that out of all the wonderful daughters in the world, you are ours. And how did that sweet little baby grow up so fast and become one of my very best friends? I’m so excited to see you grow further into the woman you will be, Sweetheart 💝 The world is yours for the taking.

Exploring the southshore’s ice breaks on a snowshoe date and gathering setting inspiration for the next draft of Alskling ✨ ❄️ 🧊 I wish my phone could capture the true blues and the clarity of seeing this in person, but it didn’t so the near-true filter will have to do.

It’s December 26, early morning. The house is stirring with the sounds of young people preparing to hunt Boxing Day sales, the indignant cries of a cat - now indoors - who regrets her choice to have spent the prior evening under the holiday sky, and the soft snores of a granddad asleep on the couch. My husband has brought me coffee in bed, and the remains of a feast will last our family into the next week. Savouring it all, this first Christmas season both of our children have enjoyed as teens. We made it. The wonderful, wild, exhausting, exhilarating, magical merriment-making is over, and peace takes its place ✌️

Banff 2024 Photo Dump. Celebrated our 16th anniversary, Freddy’s 43rd birthday, my residency wrap-up, and a little bit of Christmas in a 36 hour turn around. Loved roaming the top of Sulphur Mountain, wept with fear the whole way up and down on the gondola 🚠

Valentines Day 2014, I walked into my first appoin

Valentines Day 2014, I walked into my first appointment with @sc_library’s writer in residence, Margaret Macpherson (@writingmargaret), not really certain of what a writer-in-residence was.

A decade later, a lot of hard work, and a little luck, and I’m helping emerging writers get their footing in the same way she helped me.

For me, it all started with that first visit: the moment my interest turned into a career. How about you? Set up an appointment to meet: regionalwir@gmail.com

What’s the best that could happen?
