You may or may not have noticed things have been less than busy around my little ole blog. I know I had high hopes of making furniture and getting on an overly ambitious renovating timeline that would have us painted, re-done, AND decorated for Christmas all before Halloween. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….SHA-HA Right! … Continue reading
Of course hang your toast up! In fact hang it up everyday or things could get crummy! Okay the gig is up. That title makes no sense and what I said about it isn’t funny at all…but I like luring you into long overdue posts with obscurity…or lying…which I’ve done…but promised to never do again. … Continue reading
Well it’s official, we have moved. Finally! Phew! What a whirlwind! I never want to move again, EVER! I use to think it was kind of exciting to move. When I was 21 I moved from one side of Canada to the other, all by my lonesome, knowing only three people. I thought it was … Continue reading
Project Mayhem is officially over, and I gotta say I’m kinda glad! I’m tired and my plate is filling up quickly with other things that need my attention. Writing daily has been a great challenge for me and I’m glad I did it, but now I’m ready for it to be over. Here are a … Continue reading
I am so excited to give you all a sneak peak of Jenn’s new jewels for the summer! She’s been busy, busy, busy, making a whole lotta fabuloso stuff that will completely knock your socks off! So not much chitter chatter today…just lots of jewellery eye candy. Lets have a looky-loo shall we! It’s all … Continue reading
Jenn and her husband Greg bought their funky Florida home a little over 10 years ago. At the time they were living in Toronto but had lived just outside of Sunny Orlando for a year and knew the exact location they would buy in should the opportunity present itself. My brother-in-law tenaciously scouted out the … Continue reading
Remember when I took you on a beautiful house tour of my sister’s neighbourhood after my visit over spring break? If you read the jibber jabber you will know I made a promise to write about Jenn. Well folks the time has come, Jenn will be the star for the next couple of days. Project Mayhem is … Continue reading
Last year I went and did something I never thought I could. I ran my first 1/2 marathon! I, the girl with slightly abnormal q angles, feet that have a mind of their own, terrible posture and an athletic bone the size of a pea, trained for two months to run a ridiculous 21 km … Continue reading
This morning I read a post on Freshly Pressed about the Blue Lagoon in Iceland I instantly got a bit nostalgic for my flying days. The airline I worked for, a little over 10 years ago, use to have us laying over in Keflavik Iceland, on our routes to Europe. My seniority had me sitting … Continue reading
Today I had some spare time before I picked my kids up from school. Since it was such beautiful day I decided to plant myself at the park for a 1/2 hour and finish off Bossy Pants. (which for the record made me laugh from start to finish!) My park of choice was “Aldergrove Lake … Continue reading
I came across these photos when I was looking for something to go with my Embarrassing Moments post. I googled “girl tripping” and this is what I found: A little on the kooky side no? These little gems, (there are several of them), were taken by two girls in Tawain who run around pretending they are … Continue reading
Well, it finally happened. Yesterday I missed my first day of Mayhem. I tried to post something, honest. I wrote three drafts, each one far more non-sensical than last, and all of which were terribly boring. Telling you I put cinnamon in with my coffee grounds would have been more interesting. So I let myself … Continue reading
Last week I gave you all a challenge of epic proportions. I asked you to formulate your funniest thoughts, and come up with a caption to go along with the picture of Drew picking his nose. If you missed that post you can check it out here. Before I announce the winners, who were chosen … Continue reading
Here’s another post that originally appeared on Goodblogs. It’s a bit out dated…but still a good one. Enjoy! Photo courtesy of Globe and Mail With just having Canada day around here, the little wheels inside my head started putting together a fantastic blog that was surely going to make all of you want to move here once I was … Continue reading
Today I’m devoting much of my time to packing, and I would just like to say this. It stinks! On a beautiful sunny long weekend Saturday I will be contending with this mess. I’m not complaining…actually that’s a lie…yes I am complaining….but I needed a blog post for the day so this is what you … Continue reading
Phew! I’m just sneaking in under the wire today with my post! And I have a little treat for you…Before and After photos!! Yipee! First a word on renovations…. In my experience of renovating…which is kind of limited but enough to know a thing or two…the worst room to overhaul, in my opinion, is the … Continue reading
Today is my youngest son Drew’s 6th birthday! I introduced you all to Drew in this post here, and told you what a funny little guy he is…which he is. See. Further evidence: Photo courtesy of Ameris Comedy. The kid is pure comedy. For his birthday I thought I would run a little contest for him….because … Continue reading
Uh-oh, I’m going to have to re-purpose old content today for the sake of sanity. I knew keeping up and writing something everyday for Mayhem would be hard, but I had no idea just HOW hard. It’s hard. Like really hard. Today I just have nothing to write about…which is weird because if I had … Continue reading
I think salsa has to be my favourite garnish. I put it on everything! So when I saw these rosy red tomatoes going for $5 a flat at our school’s annual fun fair, I started to get giddy with excitement at all the salsa I could make. I’ve always wanted to make salsa from scratch … Continue reading
Actually, it isn’t really a great debate…it rhymed and gave my title a nice ring…plus it sounded kind of controversial! The thing about this debate, it’s only going on in my head, it’s not with anyone in particular…just a heated discussion with myself. I’ve been thinking ahead to our new house and how I would … Continue reading
