I have spent almost all of my life living in the town in which I was born, Stratford, ON. It is a city I love, full of super neat people – some of them are even my friends! I get inspiration from the things I see, places I go, and people I meet ALL THE TIME. I love when a movie, piece of art, book, place or person makes me really feel something and I wanted to create a space to share those feels.
I also like to share the good – and sometimes not so good – bits from my own life. I wrote my first blog post in July of 2011. I jumped into the world of blogging knowing only that I wanted to be honest (about everything!) and that I liked to write. On the Bright Side is an evolution of my desire to share the stories, people and stuff that makes me happy, makes me curious or moves me in some way.
Equally important, I have been a teacher for over twenty years, about the same time I have been married to a handsome guy named Eric from Buffalo. Together, we created Nicholas (18), Mia (15) and Chloe (11). Also raising two cats (Sammy and Frankie the Stray) and Wilson our mini Goldendoodle.
Thank you for being here! (and thank you Mom, for doing all of my editing!)
On the Bright Side is a lifestyle blog about interesting people, places and things – all the fun nouns!
