Dreaming of Summer

With March Break here and some warmer weather, I've been starting to think a lot about summer. Just last week a friend of mine was asking about the cottage resort we have been going to for the past couple of years...right away I thought of my Blog! I'll just search the entry I made last August and that way I can show her all the photos from our trip. That's when I realized, I never even made an entry. So I figured it was time...better late than never! Here are some of my favourite photos from our week at Balsam Resort in 2018. With spring just around the corner, the kiddies are already counting down the number of weeks until we return. Now my Blog is a place they can visit whenever they feel like it...

This year we're very excited to return! It's amazing to see my kids fall in love with the same summer home I loved so much when I was their age. There's honestly no better feeling, then seeing their eyes light up whenever we talk about it and it's even more incredible to see how excited they are when we finally arrive. To think...it's all because my grandfather decided to take our family there almost 30 years ago #continuingtradition Summer 2019...we can't wait for ya!

Enjoy the rest of your March Break!

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 ...
