Thursday thoughts 

August 25, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 2 Comments

I have a lot of randomness that comes into my brain & sometimes it just needs to be let out! Enjoy! I ate too many carbs today. It's basically all I ate. I also don't care because I got to have one of my favourite cookies ever. They're the lemon poppy seed ones from Brick Street Bakery just in case anyone wants to get me one sometime! My feet are sore. I need new ones. I wore my ...

Friday Favourites

August 19, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 4 Comments

I've missed a lot of these but I'm going to make it a priority to post some of my faves each week! Like I've said before, it really helps me to take some time to think over the week and be grateful for a few things. My Friday Favourites aren't necessarily new things I've gotten but are things that I've taken special note of during the week! So here are my faves from this past week! Water I ...

Workout Wednesday 

March 30, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp Leave a Comment

This week was a bit better than last week (as in I ran a few times). I am starting to feel slightly worried about my half in 4.5 weeks, but since my goal is to have a good mental race above a good time--I am trying to focus on that! I also ran once with each of the girls this week and I really enjoyed it. We are planning to make it a weekly thing and I'm excited because it gives me a chance to ...

Middle of the Night Panic

March 28, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp Leave a Comment

Last night Anson fell asleep early (as normal), but then it meant he woke up at 2:00 AM. At 2:30 I woke up to a bright light shining in my eyes. I opened my eyes and saw Anson standing beside my side of the bed with the flashlight shining from his phone on the floor. I asked him (in the sweetest voice you can imagine) what on earth he was doing?! He asked me where the headphones were and I replied ...

I Forgot to Blog + a Confession

February 16, 2016 By Allison Van de Kemp 3 Comments

Yesterday, I forgot to blog. I decided when I started blogging that I would post daily except for Saturdays...and apparently an occasional Monday, it seems! We had a good weekend, though. Sunday was Valentines Day, but I honestly can't remember the last time we celebrated. I do remember one time when we were dating, I got roses of all different colours with a letter explaining what each colour ...

Every Sunday, I will be refraining from writing, (if I can!) but will be posting many pictures from our week! I hope you enjoy some pictures from our past with our family! Click on any picture to view in a lightbox. ...

About Me

I am Allison, the lazy perfectionist! Translation - the girl who hates doing things she isn’t perfect at. So instead of trying, my fears of imperfection have held me back. This blog is a written account of my pursuit to be courageous in those things I have always wanted to do--whether or not I do them perfectly!
