Under the Sun Under the Sun By Megan Cutler | July 8, 2013 | Comments 1 comment The saying goes that there’s nothing new under the sun (and maybe there isn’t). That’s why a truly original idea is worth it’s weight in gold. Why everyone and their brother will hurry to snap it up and why everyone who discovers it will instantly try to duplicate it. As a writer, originality is something … Read More Read More
More Kitchen Fun More Kitchen Fun By Megan Cutler | July 1, 2013 | Comments 1 comment A few weeks back I made a list of my favorite slow-cooker recipes cobbled together from various social media and blogs I read. My slow-cooker is convenient, but I don’t use it every night. So in the spirit of fairness, here are some non-slow-cooker favorites we’ve added to our meal rotation of late. Funeral Sandwiches … Read More Read More
Maiden of the Rock Maiden of the Rock By Megan Cutler | June 24, 2013 | Comments 1 comment While we spent a lot of time on the beach in Belize, it wasn’t the (sole) reason we visited the country. We took three ventures off-resort. The first was to see a Mayan ruin located about 80 miles west of Belize City. It was about a three hour drive from the resort, but well worth … Read More Read More
Who Are You Writing For? Who Are You Writing For? By Megan Cutler | June 17, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment I haven’t written about writing in awhile. Not because I don’t have anything to say, because I worry talking too much about it will annoy people. But I’ve noticed a lot of talk about this topic recently, and I feel I can speak from personal experience. I follow Neil Gaiman on Tumblr. People tend to … Read More Read More
DIY Jewelery Organizer DIY Jewelery Organizer By Megan Cutler | June 10, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment Now that our basement is finally fixed, we’ve set to work organizing the house the way we’d like it. We’ve sort of lived with everything where it fit in the year and a half since the disaster. We tackled the bedroom first. One of the problems I wanted to solve was jewelry storage. I have … Read More Read More
Airplane Adventures Airplane Adventures By Megan Cutler | June 3, 2013 | Comments 1 comment Writing about my recent trip to Florida reminded me of another vacation I never wrote about. It was before I started this blog and at a point in my life where, due to various time constraints, I had stopped journaling. It’s the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ve always wanted to do justice in writing. Before … Read More Read More
Be Who You Are Be Who You Are By Megan Cutler | May 27, 2013 | Comments 1 comment Sometimes while browsing the Internets, I come upon posts that make me sigh or roll my eyes, usually where people have over-examined a concept, movie or kid’s show to the point where I can’t take their conclusion seriously. And I preface this post in such a way because I fear I may be treading that … Read More Read More
When in Rome When in Rome By Megan Cutler | May 20, 2013 | Comments 11 comments I’ve already written about my epic journey to becoming a Canadian. While Canada and the US aren’t all that different, there are a few surprises in store for those who make the move. There are always the minor things of course; new restaurant and grocery store chains, strange commercials, the overwhelming desire to apologize to … Read More Read More
Hanging Around Town Hanging Around Town By Megan Cutler | May 13, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve talked a lot about my recent trip to Florida (and hopefully I haven’t bored too many people with it). While we spent a lot of time in theme parks, we also took the time to enjoy other local attractions. My friend, Rowena, has a knack for finding the most interesting stops in any location, … Read More Read More
The Quiet of the Mind The Quiet of the Mind By Megan Cutler | May 6, 2013 | Comments 3 comments I know many people who claim they don’t dream. Science tells us we dream, on average, about five times every night. We dream every time we pass through the REM cycle of sleep. But many people don’t remember their dreams. When they wake, those nighttime images pass from notice. Sometimes something a person says or … Read More Read More
