The best day of my life.
They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, but I’m convinced that’s something they say to calm down brides who are freaking out about their centerpieces getting dumped on. So when it started to pour around 1pm on our wedding day, I tried not to look at any of my friends or sisters […]
The new smaller Pods: awesomely smaller!
Yeah yeah yeah, I’m late to the party. I know there’s plenty of you out there who have already been using OmniPods new smaller insulin pods but not me. Here’s the thing that they didn’t tell anyone when the new pods were approved: depending on who you get your supplies from (could be your insurance, […]
Mystery Insulin…
We’re a few days back from our amazing time in Hawaii and although the porch was littered with gifts from our registry from our seriously way-to-generous friends (for real guys?! You already flew to HAWAII! Stop sending things), there was one package I didn’t see. And that was a package for a three-month supply of […]
It was perfect.
I will write more as soon as I unpack all 6 suitcases/recover from the jetlag/recover from the high of having the best day of my life/best honeymoon ever but suffice it to say that it. Was. Perfect. Truly, without a doubt, the best day of our lives. Still basking in the glow of it all, […]

Today I’m re-posting from a year and a half ago on the day that Jacob […]

Guest Post: What it’s REALLY like to live in Canada with diabetes
Hey there party people! At this time, I’m somewhere on the island of Oahu running around like a chicken with my head cut off because I’m getting married in two days and I am sure there’s a million things I have not done yet. But more importantly, I’m thrilled to have my buddy Bram Hutchinson […]
Guest Post: Islands and Insulin Author Erin Spineto
Let me start this guest post with this statement: Erin Spineto is a badass. Run-down and fed up a few years ago, Erin decided it was time to make a change. Knowing that travel always fueled her soul and helped her feel renewed, she set up on a solo sailing journey, against the warnings of […]
