behind the posts

 Hello! My name is Virgilia, and I'm living in sunny southern Alberta Canada. Currently 24 years old going on 40. Always been what some may call an "old soul". My hobbies include hand stitched embroidery, painting, sewing, and gardening. My main job is being the best mom I can be for my son, and being tolerable for my husband. Jokes! My hubby is the best, and I'm so happy to have shared the last 6 years being married to him and seeing him become the most wonderful father to our boy.

  I'm very passionate about supporting local small shops whenever possible, whether that is buying from them or hyping them up on Instagram. There's just something so special about supporting someone's dream!

  The Bible has been a constant companion in my life, but the last few years I've truly drawn close to its author, God. This has helped me find a new sense of peace and faith for the future, and encouraged me to work on being the best version of me that I can be.

  Growing up, I lived on an acreage where I had pets galore! I'm talking llamas, rabbits, cats, and the odd wild animal came under my care once in a while. Now I'm living in the city, so we're down to one cat (Dublin, who is purrfect) and one dog (Beau, our 7yo newfieXlab). Obviously I've got a need for animals!

  Since I was very young, my health has been an issue. Mostly digestive, which has lead me to removing many foods from my diet, such as gluten (celiac disease) and meat (not sure why it makes me sick, but I don't mind). I've also had constant struggles with Anxiety and Depression, which I'm finally getting long over-due treatment for.

  My hope for this blog is to keep a record for myself to track progress in my life, to normalize truly normal things, and to encourage others along the way. Thanks for reading!
