I got to meet Aqua!!!!! I’ll be reliving this for the next decade or two.

Me when one (1) leaf turns red

Perfect weather today at the Eden Mills Writers’ Festival! Very grateful for the opportunity to read at this incredible event. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and judges!

Happy birthday to Boots! He celebrated with long naps and lots of treats ❤️

I am thrilled to share that I have won the Eden Mills Writers' Festival literary contest in the Fiction category! Check out the link to read "Canberra": edenmillswritersfestival.ca/read-at-the-...

Officially bought my first batch of Halloween candy today! I have to do quality checks before handing it out, right?

It’s an ice cream type of day (every day is an ice cream type of day)!

Opening night was a huge success! Congrats to everyone at Kanata Theatre for putting together such an amazing festival.

I had a blast chatting on the radio this morning with CBC’s Giacomo Panico! Opening night is TONIGHT at Kanata Theatre's Ten-Minute Play Festival! www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

It's almost opening night for Kanata Theatre's 10-Minute Play Festival! Get all the details here: kanatatheatre.ca/play/10-minu...

My ten-minute play was chosen to be a part of this year's festival at Kanata Theatre! What happens if you ask a robot for advice on love? Find out next weekend! 🤖💖

My controversial opinion is that I love that Halloween stuff is already for sale! It’s always spooky season at my house 🎃

Sticks and Stones made it to CBC! www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Boots has his copy of Sticks and Stones! You can grab one for yourself here: www.chickenhousepress.ca/bookstore/p/...

Thrilled to announce that I have discovered the world’s best shoe (from the brand Irregular Choice, if anyone wants a pair)

It's publication day! 🎉My story "Bones" appears in Sticks and Stones, an anthology published by Chicken House Press: www.chickenhousepress.ca/press/sticks... What would you do if the skeleton in your closet was real?

LOVE seeing all the support for professional women’s hockey! #OttawaCharge #SurgingAhead (Noise and light warning! ⚡️)

It’s tulip season! (This is also where Hot Frosty was filmed…sad to report no magical snowman sightings ☃️)

Perfect day for the EdgeWalk on the CN Tower! I was fine until the guide told me to look down 😅

My parents have been hinting at “a great gift” for weeks now. Just got in from a long drive and discovered it’s a chip shrine. 10/10, no notes.

The weather has me feeling like I’m in a Hallmark Christmas movie… in April!

My Dad texts me and my Mom with photos of his dishwasher arrangements. Peak Dad energy ❤️

There is another (!) storm headed our way… time to break out the Storm Chips!

When I visit my parents, there is a rule that I can’t close any open cupboards… this is why

My constant dilemma

Update: the puppy has a name! Meet Griff. He enjoys meeting new friends, biting shoelaces, and long naps on the couch.

Me: I can stay up late to finish this book, I’ll be fine. Me the next day:

It’s Freedom to Read Week! For more info, check out www.freedomtoread.ca #FTRW25

Stopped dead in my tracks to take a picture of this incredible shirt (with a bonus Björk swan purse)

My interview with Pauline Shen is live! Come read about how rejections are a lot like pizza (it makes sense, I promise) 🍕 paulineshen.ca/2025/02/20/i...

This story was inspired by my childhood dog Mimi going for a solo adventure in the neighbourhood (she lived)! 🐶

I'm very excited to share that my essay "The Art of Not Cleaning" will appear in the anthology "The Alchemy of Stories," which is now available for pre-order! Come learn how little animals in little boats changed my outlook on life. open-bks.com/library/mode...

My boyfriend’s family is getting a puppy, but he doesn’t have a name yet! Any suggestions?

My favourite place! (Sunrise Books, Guelph)

Somehow I am JUST learning that some naval cats had tiny little hammocks on ships. This is critical information. Pic source: tinyurl.com/526s4xdd

Last year my brother buried my present in concrete. This year he buried it in the woods (thus the shovel, backpack, and GPS). I’m worried about next year!

I missed the memo that if you search for Moo Deng on Google, you can click the hippo icon to create a parade… this is what I’m doing with my day

Last week I had an absolute blast reading an excerpt from my short story “Bones”! Check it out if you like freaky skeletons m.youtube.com/watch?v=EMD3...

If you need a smile today, please know there’s a tradition in junior hockey to throw teddy bears onto the ice once a year… very satisfying on a soul level 🧸

SUPER thrilled to announce I made the shortlist for Blank Spaces Magazine's "Sticks and Stones" short story contest!
