I’m so excited for this weekend you guys! It’s Shane’s first long weekend of the summer and he’s booked his vacation around it to make it a bit longer. Today he has the day off and has taken the kids to surprise his Dad at work with a coffee and visit. I’m taking the opportunity …
I know blogland is filled with redwhiteandblue right now, but us Canadians are looking forward to Canada Day this Tuesday! I’m sure it’s the same everywhere in the world, but most patriotic decorations can be so tacky! Red and white all over- I was in a store yesterday and thought about taking a picture of …
I’m not sure about you, but around here summer has definitely hit! We put on the air conditioning for the first time of the season yesterday- usually we can keep the house cool by opening and closing windows/curtains depending on time of day but it’s gotten so hot we needed some help. With the heat, …
UPDATE: Looking for more bucket lists? Find all of my printable ones (with blank copies!) RIGHT HERE. Summer as arrived! This week has been pretty rainy (we found out our front door leaks- bummer), but it’s been hot-hot-hot other than this last few days and I’m loving it. We have a list longer than …
Last weekend was Shane’s oldest brother’s wedding, which was so much fun! Some of the uncles hadn’t met our babies yet- it’s amazing how much time flies, they were expecting newborns still! The lovely bride, Teegan, is from Australia (Shane’s brother lived there for a few years) and during the lovely speeches I got to …
I have a really quick party DIY for you guys today! These watercolour cups were so much fun to make and cost next to nothing. You can make them to match any party theme and are so much cuter than plain old coloured paper cups. Most people don’t have 30+ glasses to give everyone at …
I’ve picked out some beautiful spring flowers at the local Farmers Market. Here’s a list of my favourite spring flowers and how I put together this DIY Spring Floral Arrangement. The sun is out, summer is definitely here and I couldn’t be happier. I’m finally recovering from being sick, and am feeling almost normal …
Happy June! Can you believe it’s June already? This year is flying by- maybe that’s what kids do to a person. Did you notice I finally got around to adding a welcome image to the sidebar? I updated my ‘About Me’ page as well- since, y’know I have kids now. Check it out and let …
Alright guys, so we’ve been done our floors for a while, but I kept putting off this post because I took so few photos of the process. It was a dirty job and so my camera wasn’t being toted around. We did take some IPhone photos of most of the steps though. I am so …
This week flew by- but I’ll save my rant about teething since I’ve already filled you in. Instead I’ll share something that made my week a little more cheerful- this little spring asparagus and pea omelette. Spring brings such wonderful fresh ingredients and I was dying to use up some asparagus I’d picked up. Having …
Having kids has already made every holiday 1000x more fun. Mothers Day before? Lunch, maybe some shopping (meh). Mothers Day now (well, not only do I get spoiled… but!) we get to make all the new grandmas gifts AND they’ll love it more than anything we could have bought. In full disclosure, we really took …
This isn’t so much a DIY because it’s SO stinkin’ simple- but I’m going to call it one anyway! I mentioned earlier this week that I’m going to start using flowers that are actually in season in my area for my monthly floral feature. This month? Being ‘April’ because I’m running late… is tulips! …
