My Tacky Obsession

They're tacky and retro tacky and a whole new level of tackified, but I LOVE these stools! I had one a long time ago that the cat got to, then my mom bought me a red one that I have in our room upstairs and then I found this one for 10 bucks today and couldn't resist. I see them so rarely that I just have to pick them up when I have the chance. ONE DAY, I am going to have a retro rec room with a … [Read more...]

The Weekend

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to everyone! Hope you are as stuffed and happy as we are! We had Wyatt and Christina over for supper on Saturday, so I made more food that I would have for just us, and of course, being the Martha wanna-be I am, loved every minute of the fussing and baking and cooking. I could do without the cleaning, so I think that I REALLY want to be Martha-who-has-a-maid-, plus … [Read more...]

Finally!

I have been waiting for days for this picture, I have been dying to see how it looked, and she looks gorgeous, and like any mama who's enjoying a quiet moment of breastfeeding.. true! You're just used to the famous face, but she actually looks pretty tired and the hair isn't perfect, but she's radiant. What a classy picture, I would love to see the rest of the photos. Hurray for beautifying and … [Read more...]

I Am a Fire Dragon!

This is a Dragon doubled! The Fire Dragon can move from calm and collected to combustible in a matter of … [Read more...]

The Princess' New Room a.k.a My Weekend Project

I spent the weekend alone, and took on the project of The Princess' room, which has been on my list FOREVER. I made her some lilac colored curtains and then never found anything to match.  Good thing it was about 99 cents a meter at Fabricland, I wasted about 5 bucks. Anyhow, I went to Ikea, who rarely lets me down, and sure enough, fell in love with this Fabler line. All sorts of lovely old … [Read more...]

New Hair

Not only did I redo the Princess's room this weekend, between working really, really hard at work (bwhahahaha as if) I also popped to Pink Lime (oh, la, I DO like that place!) and went for the big chop and color. Et voila! This is the closest I have been to my natural color in years ;) The Princess kept looking at me out of the corner of her eye, then telling me "mommy I love your beautiful … [Read more...]

Sick of Being Sick

That's pretty much it, the title sums it up. I am soo tired of having a cold, this is week #2 now, it went from my head to my chest this past week, and I swear to god, its heading back up to my sinuses as I type. I am SO DONE with feeling like shit. I can't win, I realize. Not only do I enter into the land of the germs twice a week at school with the kids, I also work in a hospital, which, … [Read more...]

Two Master Bedrooms

A funny title, yes, but I have decided that in my dream house, there are two master bedrooms. Funny enough ,I mustn't be the only one, because I guess builders ARE building new houses that have two master suites! And yes, you can probably guess that this stems from Mike's infernal snoring and teeth grinding. But in reading an article about it, I found some funny truths hidden in there, … [Read more...]

Strathcona Wilderness Center

We had a lovely walk this morning out at the Wilderness Center, it was crisp and the leaves were gorgeous! We didn't see much in the way of animal life, just a little mouse that us adults saw, which was of course, too fast for the kidlets to view. I would like to head back with Mike and tackle a couple harder trails when we can take turns pushing the kids in the Chariot. The loop we did, I … [Read more...]

What I Have Been Up To

I haven't really had much time to blog the last while, so here's the update on the craziness that would be us... Last week my dad, Karami and Deklen came up to visit, and even tho everyone but Mike was sick, we had a really great time visiting with them. And gave Karami our cold as well, poor girl. The kids, as per usual, were all over their cousin, who is getting vastly more entertaining very … [Read more...]

I Didn't Plant….

Very weird. I had a TON of petunias crop up, all different colors, red, pink, white and that mixed one, marigolds where there shouldn't be marigolds … [Read more...]

Backstreet Boys

Fuzzy picture, but a great time was had! Those "boys" grew up into some smokin' hot men LOL! And I was amazed as usual how many songs I knew! Or embarrassed, take your pick. Ok well I have freely admitted I was going to the concert, so I'm not that ashamed. Boy, we thought there would be more tweens and 20 somethings, I think it was mainly cougars in training (which is the category we fall in of … [Read more...]
