about me

I am an almost 50-year-old mom, wife, teacher, foodie, glamper, and cottage-life enthusiast with aspirations of Martha Stewart's greatness and the unique blend of a French-Canadian identity—English in thought but French at heart.

welcome

Bienvenue! Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet, the Thirsty Thistle. Here, I seize the delightful opportunity to embark on and share with you all the projects that ignite my passion—be it the art of gastronomy, the joy of gathering with friends and family in the comfort of our home, the rustic charm of our camp, or the adventurous spirit of our camper trailer. I also venture tentatively into the enchanting realm of crafts, where my admiration often eclipses my achievements. Despite the modesty of my "accomplishments," I'm eager to share not only snapshots of my endeavors but also the boundless enthusiasm and inspiration I draw from Pinterest and other beloved sites.

My three children at home are my eager taste testers and invaluable assistants, bringing to life my latest whims, such as the grand celebration of my husband's 50th birthday. Similarly, my "second" family of students at school dive into creative escapades with me, from engaging in Murder Mysteries to the festive spirit of our annual Réveillons.

Now, as I approach the twilight of my teaching career, blessed with a bit more "extra time" thanks to my nearly grown-up children, I'm thrilled to share, recommend, and even offer some of these creations to you.

So, please, make yourself comfortable with a hot drink, a refreshing cold beverage, or your favorite treat, and find pleasure and inspiration here at the Thirsty Thistle!

Warmly,

julie Cyr
