Georgia turns Five

I feel a little behind in posting this blog and all these photos but the truth is summer started about 4 weeks ago and since then I haven't had a free moment. Being at home with all 4 kids this summer has definitely kept me busy - in a good way! We've had so many exciting adventures already and there's still a lot to look forward to. In order to keep everyone up to date I'm planning on posting a lot more photos (and less writing) over the next few weeks. To begin, I'll have to do a little backtracking...to Georgia's 5th birthday.

It was the perfect celebration for any little girl...especially one who has an imagination like no other. On any given day you'll find Georgia in her bedroom dressing up in one of her many princess costumes, trying on my shoes and make-up, doing her own hair and then performing one of her well rehearsed song and dance routines. When she approached my hubby and I and asked if she could have a Princess come to her birthday, it didn't take long to decide the timing was probably right. And thankfully we didn't have to look too far in order to find a reputable company. We had several friends who had already thrown a princess party for their little ones and so we turned to them for advice and recommendations. In the end we booked our Princess through Fantasy Fables and we were beyond impressed. Their services were worth every penny spent and we would highly recommend them to any parent looking to host a similar party. Georgia had the time of her life and her friends were pretty excited too!

A little too much partying for this kid!

I hope everyone is having a great summer so far.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

To My Grandpa on his 100th Birthday

On Sunday my grandfather turned 100 and we had a beautiful celebration. I promise to post photos from the event once they are ready...I can hardly wait to see them! Today I decided to share my speech completely unaltered. If it sounds like I'm talking, it's because I literally recorded myself talking to myself about my grandpa...then I typed out what I said - almost word for word. It truly helped me to speak from the heart and talk about the memories I'll have forever... For my grandpa on his 100 th birthday… My grandfather was born on February 18 th , 1918…fast forward about 64 years, and that’s when I came into the picture. And that’s where I’m going to start. My grandfather has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. At a very young age my mom and I moved into a neighbourhood in North Mississauga. Not long after my grandparents moved into their home just one st...

On A Positive Note

I hope everyone is staying home and staying healthy. What an unbelievable time we are living in right now. Most days seem completely manageable, but some days I question if I'm even going to make to the next🤔. Despite this crazy, chaotic, some days memorable, other days questionable, and needless to say - an unforgettable period in our lives, I have managed to recognize some of the more positive things...in no particular order. 1. My kids can and do eat peanut butter every single day for lunch #noallergies #winning 2. After being a stay at home mom for the majority of the past 9 years, I was questioning if I was really ready to step back into my career as a teacher...it's only day 23 of this quarantine - but yup it's been determined, I am definitely ready to go back to work. 3. I think after all this, those parents who maybe didn't fully appreciate teachers or comprehend the full extent of what they do - will now perhaps have a c...

Easter 2020

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter in quarantine! So Friday morning I actually made my kids dress up and do a quick photoshoot on our front porch. Just because we're not celebrating with family this year, doesn't mean all of our traditions have to be put on hold😜 My two girls were pretty excited to wear new matching dresses, so I didn't have any issues getting them ready. My little guy Jack loves putting gel in his hair, so he was pretty easy to convince as well. As for my oldest, he absolutely hates getting dressed up for anything, so basically I gave him an ultimatum...extra schoolwork next week or a few pictures - and you have to smile! He obviously went with the second choice (and he gave me the best smile ever) ha! Despite the freezing cold temperatures that morning, we actually got some really cute photos...in record breaking time! No matter how you're celebrating this year, may you ...
