Summer is Here!


Summer is here!
The past two weeks have been a total blur, but also full of excitement, new experiences and goodbyes.  Georgia and Jackson finished their spring gymnastics programs, our 3 oldest kiddies passed their swimming lessons and Georgia's year of dance came to end with 4 successful days of rehearsals and recitals.  
The fun didn't stop there...Hudson's rep baseball team played in their first ever away tournament and after a grueling 3 days of non-stop games, they unfortunately lost in overtime in the semi-finals against a very challenging team.  The only good thing...we managed to make it back to our hometown, just in time for Hudson to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in his end of year piano recital.  
From there we headed to my in-laws to go swimming and celebrate my sister-in-laws birthday.  The following morning our little big girl graduated from kindergarten.  That's not all...Jack and Irelynn finished another year at Montessori and celebrated at their annual summer barbecue.  Last but not least Hudson received a Shining Star Award today at his school's year end assembly.  What a great way to kick start the summer!






















Happy Summer Everyone!

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!
