One month ago, I decided that I would learn how to sketch animals. For most of my life, I thought I was not good at art, until I started doing online painting tutorials during the lock down days. I discovered a love of painting, and that it was actually something I was decent at.

This summer, I got the brilliant idea to start sketching, having never done it, ever. I figured I'd try to do daily-ish sketches for 3 months and see how much I'd improve. Of course, life gets busy and I've only completed an average of 2 per week, but I think that after a month I'm not going too badly. I've been following tutorials on YT from @cartooning4kids and am actually really enjoying it. I know they are not perfect, but I think that for my first ever attempts they are not too bad and I'm pretty proud of them. They are in order of when I find them and I definitely think I'm starting to see improvement. If only I could figure out how to stop smudging them with my hand while I'm drawing. 🤔😉

On to Month 2 of my Summer of Animal Sketches!

PROM 2026

Seeing my boy and his friends dressed up in their gorgeous outfits, laughing, smiling, and making memories, despite the 33° heat, was such a privilege.
Having this night, to mark a milestone, to let loose and celebrate years of hard work and friendship before they move on to the next stage of life, is something that they will remember forever. What a gift. 💕💕 by @theonecrazykid

Went for a walk in a new park. Did not dress correctly and ended up sweating the whole way. At least we saw lots of birds and it was pretty! Also, I couldn't actually see what my pictures looked like as I took them, so I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. by @theonecrazykid

Porcupines, sloths, and tegus oh my!
Had a great time with my mom today at Cobbs Exotic Animal Rescue Wildlife Festival. I learned so much, gave chin scratches to a baby red kangaroo, got kissed on the hand by a prehensile tailed porcupine and (gently) petted a large African porcupine, just to name a few. These are all animals who have been rescued and are now helping to educate people when they are not living on their sanctuary in Calgary. by @theonecrazykid

A little love letter in photos to the country that stole my heart. I have never felt such peace and calm in my soul as I did there. Forest walks, fairy trees, places older than you can imagine. Magic.

Yesterday was the last first day of school. I cannot believe my boy has now started his last year of high school.

To know him is to love him and watching him grow into the incredible young man he's become is seriously the honour and privilege of my life.

I know i'm his mum and all mums think this, but I'm telling you, this kid is special. I can't wait to see what this year will hold and where he will go in the future.

Now if you need me, I'll be crying in my tea and feeling all the feels. 😉

I love you @quentin_the_gymnast and I know Gr 12 will be awesome.

Provincials 2025 is in the books for Q.

He had an incredible competition and is the Silver medalist in both Floor and Vault in the National Open category.!!! Aka second best guy in the province on both events in his category.

This is a new category for him and there is a lot of tough competition to contend with, especially as one of the youngest guys in the category this year. I absolutely love watching him compete and seeing how the (literal) hundreds of hours he puts in leach year eading up to comp season has paid off.

Of course I'm the proudest mum out there. 😉

I don't share a lot of this kind of stuff anymore online because, well, people are awful sometimes and in the last 6 months I've had several guys scrape pictures I've been pretty proud of and use them to mock and belittle me.

But...

I'm actually really proud of this progress. About 4 months ago I started to do the Uplift strength training workouts with @shinedancefitness regularly, at least 2-3 times a week. Given my issues and what a struggle it's been to regain my strength after nearly dying 4 years ago (if you want to know the story go back in my feed), having to relearn how to walk, balance, everything, and the lasting damage that illness did to my body, I honestly never thought I'd be able to strength train again.

I started doing the Shine cardio classes in the summer but was way too intimidated and scared to try Uplift till November. I tried the 30 min version first, using only a resistance band. It was so hard but I was glad I tried. I kept at it for a few weeks, and then one night I thought "hey, I'll try the full 1 hr class". To call it tough was an understatement but I was so proud of myself. I kept at it and added 3 lbs weights, then 5 lbs and now I use a combination of 3s, 5s and 8s, depending on the muscle group.

4 years ago, after I got out of hospital, I struggled to do a calf raise on one leg holding onto the wall or counter. 2 nights ago, I was doing calf raises with an 8 lbs weight in each hand. With consistency and hard work, the results are starting to show. It may not look like much, but to me it's huge.
