Those *Magic* Moments p.s. this whole *wordless* thing is not easy…
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 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…
For birthdays! My daughter turned 7 just last week, and my son turned 4 today! (My birthday is at the end of the month, halloween to be exact…my age is not important). I remember when Brent and I were newly married – I wanted to start a family SO badly, but the timing just wasn’t right. He used to tell me *it would happen before I knew it* but I never believed him. It seemed like forever, then with it…
Sometimes I just like a little foreign flair…translated it’s *The Ladybugs* And our yard is COVERED in them! During the summer we made it a habit to walk around our pool and save all the ladybugs that had the misfortune of flying right into the water. Just the other day we found a rather large *colony* of them directly beside the kids playground – not wanting them to be trampled we went on a bit of a *ladybug hunt*, putting…
It’s something I have dreamed about for 15 years. I have always LOVED dolphins and am mesmerized any time I’m around them (just ask my best friend, Jenny how long I made her stand and watch the dolphins at the Mirage in Las Vegas just over 10 years ago lol). Swimming with them would be an absolute dream…and I was determined to do it at least once. When we planned our vacay to the Barcelo Riviera Maya, my friend, Laura…
We LOVE games. Board games, card games, action games, video games, etc. We just enjoy playing them and are often found getting together with friends to play them. My favorite game of all time is Monopoly, though I haven’t honestly played it in a while because it can take so long. It’s also the game that I only like if I’m winning. Seriously, huge poor sport over here when I’m losing (ie. when I don’t have Boardwalk and Park Place…
