I’ve been a fan of Frecklebox since my daughter was sent her very own personalized book just over 2 years ago. We still love that book and I know that Brooklyn just loves seeing her name in print (especially since she started reading a year and a half ago). When I received an e-mail telling me about their new *Not Yet* Personalized Book, I had to post about it. It immediately made me think of a friend who is due…
Well, after the library portion of our date, we set off to our local Cupcake Cafe – which unfortunately was closed….so we continued on to the next best thing….TIM HORTONS! My kids LOOOOOVE it…though you’d probably be humoured to know it’s not because of the donuts, but rather, the bagels (so good). Because I am really trying to get my act together and go back to being Gluten Free, I ordered pretty much the only thing on the menu that…
Today brought a unique opportunity for me to be able to spend time with JUST Brooklyn. Since she’s in school full time and of course we have Jonah too, it’s not something that happens very often so I wanted to make sure to maximize on the opportunity. We dropped Jonah off at preschool and set out to do a few errands (bank, clothing donation, and dropping stuff to the second hand store for hopeful buy out….just in case you’re wondering)…then…
I don’t drink. Ever. But the idea of cracking open a bottle of wine or champagne is so appealing to me. Often you will find a few bottles of non-alcoholic sparkling juice in our cupboards for parties, or just a quite night at home. I also have a girl’s night once a week (to watch Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice) where we like to indulge sometimes. One night, one of the girls brought a non-alcoholic champagne that her mother in…
I love getting the kids matching/coordinating pyjamas for Halloween and Christmas…I haven’t done it for every one, but most of them. It just makes me happy…not to mention, the kids LOVE it. I typically order from Old Navy because I love the way their pyjamas fit and look….this year was no different. The great thing about Brooklyn being so little is she still fits into the *toddler* section of Old Navy. In fact, they didn’t have a 5T in the…
One of the consequences of having a large pool in the backyard, in a climate that only provides about 2 months of pool weather (if that), is that you have to drain, clean, and put it away in the fall. Sounds easy right? Ugh… Brent hooked up hoses a couple of weeks ago to help it drain in specified locations (ie the garden), instead of flooding our yard. LOL This is a great way to get the bulk of the…
