Okay, so it wasn’t just me {shame}, but it was pretty awesome I must say. Brent and I started our day with massages – and it couldn’t have been better! Then, after my mother in law arrived and we picked the kids up from school, Brent and I drove to Calgary for the much anticipated Stone Temple Pilots concert. Calgary traffic hit us like a bugger, making us arrive 45 minutes after the doors opened. Though we weren’t too worried…
When my parents bought a new rug for their home, they passed the reject onto us. And we couldn’t be happier! We LOVE it and it really looks great in our front room. But it definitely needed a shampoo to perk it up again and it made a huge difference. Imagine our excitement when just a couple of months after putting it in, we noticed HUGE dark stains and had no idea where they were from. Sigh. And…
Every year for Halloween I try and think of something the kids can be together. It honestly hasn’t happened yet, but the dream is alive. Well, folks….that is about to change. I already have Brooklyn’s costume as compensation for some previous blog work, so when given the opportunity to review a kids costume from Wholesale Halloween Costumes, I knew it was Jonah’s turn AND what I was looking for. So the shopping began. With 14 Pirate type costumes, it was…

Squishy Baff {NOT for the *Baff*} #makingmemories
A few months ago when the commercial came on for Squishy Baff, Jonah asked if we could buy it. Not only are we on a huge *buying stuff* hiatus {how much stuff do they even need???}, but it also looked like something I would regret buying. Bathtub cleanup anyone? Jonah asked if we could buy it when we were at the condo and I agreed. It the one place we splurge a little to make the holiday extra special. The…
About a month ago I was thrilled to be approved as a fashion blogger for OASAP. I got busy shopping online, trying to select the first item to review. It was a toss up between a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes, but since clothing fits can be tricky I opted for the shoes for the first go around. Besides, everyone can use another pair of shoes right? I know I can {husband, don’t deny it}. These are…
Many who know me know that I suffered from anxiety for years {timeline totally related to becoming a mom}. Not noticeable, not medicated, but serious enough that many nights were spent awake in some form of panic. Luckily for my kids, it never prevented us from doing things. Road trips, fun activities, etc. were all experienced and enjoyed, but not without days, sometimes even weeks of sleepless nights and A LOT of self talk. Really, I’m a pro at the…

Dreaming Of Myrtle Beach {With RedWeek}
Years ago my best friend and I happened upon a gem of a movie called Shag {any UK readers out there are probably snickering or gasping silently at the title lol}. The movie takes place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where the main characters take a girls trip to have one last *hurrah* before one of them gets married. We were young teenagers, always looking for the strangest, never heard of before movies {Strictly Ballroom anyone??…random fact – the director…
I have a few items on my sewing list this summer, so I figured I had better get started. As we have been spending our days at the beach, I figured starting with a cover up would be the way to go. I made her a couple in 2010 and because she’s so little she was able to get two summers out of them. But this year she needed a new one.…
It’s no secret I love to holiday….and often spend time online pricing out fantasy vacations and getaways. It might be a wee addiction, but I have no intentions of quitting. It is seriously SO much fun {not quite as fun as actually GOING on the holidays, but a close second}. And Redweek has only fueled the passion and given me so many more ideas and options.…
