Well if you follow my facebook page {and Canadian news} you are probably well aware of the devastating floods in Southern Alberta. Calgary, where I was born and raised was hit the worst, with Medicine Hat {lived for first 5 years of my life and visited regularly as a kid} and Edmonton being hit as well. Calgary and the surrounding areas {High River for example} are experiencing mass amounts of destruction and thousands of people are kicking it into high…
It’s been a while now since this beautiful machine made a temporary home with us. And while my kitchen is cleaner as a result of it not being the table centerpiece – I’m still very very bummed. So are my unfinished {and un-started} sewing projects. It’s take me so long to write this post for one major reason – I didn’t know where to start. I mean, what to mention first, what will you find valuable, etc. So I made…
Ready for my thoughts on the last two Julep boxes I received? {Read about November and February Maven Boxes Here} The American Beauty Maven Profile was changed to Modern Beauty for the March boxes. It was precisely for this reason that I chose not to skip the March box. I was not a huge fan of the multiple polishes each month {can get excessive quickly} and was THRILLED they were going to be changing it up with more full…
I’ve already done a Julep review once before, but seeing as I still haven’t cancelled my subscription and managed not to skip some months in time – I had 4 beautiful boxes waiting for me at the condo. Yay to my sister in law for bringing them back for me {she went at a different time}. Wanna know what I got and what I think? Well, okay… First things first – Julep made some changes to the American Beauty maven…
I told you in a recent post that despite being happily married, Brent can drive me CARAZY!!!! Marriage can’t be perfect ALL of the time. It’s a shame really, though I suppose it keeps us appreciating the amazing times and committed to putting in the effort to make them the norm. That being said…..this makes me laugh. I’m sure you can all relate 😉 p.s. I think it goes without saying that I never annoy him 😉…
Brooklyn has been dancing since she was 4. And she LOVES it. Every week, I ask her how class was and she exclaims *Great!*. She loves her teachers, the owner {who is very involved with the kids}, the other kids, dancing, and of course, being on stage at the end of the year. She loves it. Except, she HATES going to it. Does that make any sense? She definitely got my home-body/lazy streak, where once she’s somewhere she just wants…
As discussed several times before, Brent {aka The Captain} and I have been married for 10 years. Happily married for 10 years. What’s our secret? Honestly, I think we lucked out. Now of course there is an element of effort to successful marriages, though neither of us has felt like it was *work* to stay together…neither has it been *work* to stay in love. But I say we lucked out because I truly believe we did. We have. At any…
Generally speaking, my working hasn’t impacted the kids lives too much. Brooklyn is in school full time, so, except for an hour afterwards twice a week, her life hasn’t changed at all. And Jonah, who is in two {now three} full days for Kindergarten, spends one of my working days at school and the other at a friend’s house playing. Seriously, nothing really out of the norm. And I’m loving the part time balance – still getting to do the…
We spent the last week enjoying a blissful family getaway to our condo in Whitefish. Normally we go with Brent’s entire family, but this time, it turned out NOONE could come. So, for what will probably be the one and only time, we had it to ourselves. What did we do? Invite friends of course! Now, we would have loved to invite several of our closest friends, but that would have resulted in about 15 kids – which in a…
Brent and I have been married for 10 years. And in this time, we’ve NEVER had a bedding set. In fact, we’ve actually been using a Star Wars quilt one of Brent’s ex-girlfriend’s made for him. for real. Until now…..while in Whitefish this past week I happened upon a Queen bedding set in ROSS – one that caught my eye right away aaaaaand was only $35!!!!! I haven’t bought one up until now because I never liked one enough to…
