18 in 2018


Happy New Year everyone! In the world in general, 2018 was trash. The Ontario government took a massive step back in education, mass shootings are still happening and “thoughts and prayers” are not working out, and everyone is questioning government.

For me, personally, 2018 has been one of the best. I’m proud of myself. I’ve accomplished a lot. I’ve grown a lot. Before looking forward, I’m looking back at the 18 best of 2018.

1.       I interviewed for my first ever career – and got the job!

2.       Brianne visited me in Wales.



3.       I had the smallest, most wonderful birthday celebration with lovely people.

4.       I went to France to visit university friends.


5.       I finished my PGCE – the hardest year of my life.

6.       My parents visited me in Wales.

7.       I finally got to see my sister’s camp and meet her camp friends!


8.       I went on a boat cruise in Orillia.

9.       I spent most of my summer falling in absolute love with my friend’s baby.


10.   I got my tonsils and adenoids out (and my life has been so much better since).

11.   I learned how to quilt.

12.   I went on a friend camping trip.


13.   I moved into my first flat with Matt.

14.   I started learning Italian (something Nonna is very impressed with).

15.   I started my dream job!

16.   I went on the most amazing trip to Austria (I owe you all a travel post for that).


17.   I had a short but sweet three-day ski season.

18.   I rounded off the year by coming home for Christmas and being with my family.

I am so happy about my year. It was the year of the most growth, the most stress, and the most accomplishments.

This is a game I play with my family on New Year’s Eve. I had to go very general with my list because I did so much. I want every year to be like this. I want to have so much to say at the end of the year that I have to generalise my accomplishments.

I am happy. I want you all to be happy and continue this feeling for the rest of the year.

What have you done in 2018?

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an incredible book. It’s something that really allows readers to understand ho
