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...

Tasca Park

A couple weeks ago it was a beautiful Sunday morning and all I wanted to do was pack up the car with the entire family and head out to enjoy the day. I was thinking something really fun - like heading to Center Island. The reality was we were completely unprepared for any kind of outing...especially one that required planning ahead and being organized. Instead we decided to save our Island adventure for another day (maybe even another year -ha!) and got to work cleaning up some things around the house. All those really boring things I hate doing on a Sunday, but those are the same things you're grateful you did when Monday morning rolls around. By the afternoon we were feeling ready and prepped for the week ahead but I still had that desire to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. My hubby and I decided to throw the diaper bag in the car, fill up the water bottles and head out to one of the local parks in Caledon...

Last Minute Ideas for your Christmas Elf

A little mid-week blog post…Just like last year I wanted to share some quick and easy last minute Elf on the Shelf ideas. I totally stole some of these ideas from friends and family but tis the season for sharing! Enjoy!! Ball Pit! Elves only! I've been doing a lot of yoga lately so I thought it would be fun if our Elf joined in on the fun! Our little guy Jack loved this one! He wanted Timbit to wash all his cars! I've seen this one used a few times and I think it's a great idea! The kids were really excited to fill the box and once it was full, they started a second one. They kiddies played tic tac toe all day! And then they ate the marshmallows (I used edible ink). We let our oldest three kids finish the pack of bubblegum! So of course this idea was a huge hit. The count-down to Christmas is on...Enjoy the rest of the week!
