Rainbows, Candy and Flower Power...A 6th Birthday Celebration

Georgia's 6th birthday was a huge success. The weather was absolutely perfect, the guest list included all of her closest friends and to top it off our surprise guest put on an incredible show - a performance Georgia said she'll never forget.

Summer finally decided to make an appearance which meant the sun was shining bright all weekend long. Part of me was looking forward to sunny days ahead, when everything slows down and life becomes a little less hectic - but we had a party to plan, so in between sports games, piano practice, dance classes and swimming lessons my hubby and I were busy trying to get the house tidy, the backyard ready, the cake decorated and the food prepared. We did however find time in the evenings to sit around the campfire and enjoy a few yummy treats before bedtime. Our kiddies know that when it's the weekend, the weather gets nice and the days are longer, our neighbours will always make time to build a fire...and when they do it's basically an open invitation to join them.

But after two fun-filled late nights trying to get everything organized, Sunday morning arrived a little sooner than we would have liked. We still had a lot to do, but for the first time ever we didn't feel overwhelmed. Georgia's guests weren't set to arrive until 3pm, so we literally had the entire day to prepare. It's crazy how things just seem to fall into place when you've got time and a little less stress on your side. To make things even easier Hudson and Georgia had another birthday party to attend which began at lunch, our little guy Jack decided to take a break and watch a movie and the baby went down for her nap without a fuss. So we were pretty much kid free for the entire afternoon which allowed us to do all the final finishing touches...by 2:55 on the dot everything was perfectly pink with a dash of rainbows and flower power!

Let the party begin...

Georgia's special guest was from the same party company we used last year for her birthday. Be sure to check out their website for a complete list of Princesses and others characters.

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 ...
