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 street over. They were always right around the corne

Alzheimer's Disease is death before death, and I'm terrified of it." - Joey Comeau I wrote this entire entry last Sunday during my 5 hour train ride... Once again I'm on board VIA Rail train 65 to Toronto Union from Dorval, Quebec. For my friends and family who follow my accounts through social media, it appears that I am returning home from a fun-filled weekend away - no kids, a little shopping, plenty of good food, morning runs along the St. Lawrence, non-alcoholic wine and loads of good conversation. Not to mention this was the first time in over 5 years that I've left home and my family to be on my own for a few days. But below the surface and behind all the charming photos, this weekend had much more meaning and significance than I ever could have imagined...For the first time in 7 years I went to visit my father. I never wanted to make this trip alone and nor did I intend on waiting so long. I should have done it years prior but the timing

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. We really had no idea where we were g
