Baby Ian turned 6 months old today. My, how time flies! I snapped this pic with with my phone on Sunday (thus the poor quality), BUT, I still love it! . How is everyone? I miss you! Happy Tuesday all. XX P.S. I enjoyed reading your comments about the kindle vs....
I wish I could say that I haven’t blogged because I was vacationing in Hawaii! But no, I returned to my 18 kiddos/students who were beyond thrilled to see me return to work after my 4 month maternity leave. Though thrilled myself, it has been an extremely difficult...
This week is all about Dr. Seuss in the schools. Is this a nation wide thing? Anyway, I fell in love with this Dr. Seuss inspired first birthday party. How adorable is that little guy? Green Eggs and Ham is one of Zion’s favourite Dr. Seuss books. I...
I barely found time to brush my hair this week. Have you ever had a two year old and an almost 4 month old crying at the top of their lungs at the same time? #drivemommynuts! Anyway, despite my almost insane state of mind, it has been a wonderful week....
Do you all remember me referring to a collaboration with another blogger extraordinaire for Baby Ian’s nursery? Well, while I was pregnant, I commissioned the lovely Charlotta Ward of Space of Inspiration to do two paintings for Baby Ian. If you...
Before One day in early December, I went to the paint store to purchase some paint. While leaving the paint store, I spotted a warehouse type building across the street that had a sign advertising used furniture and that it was opened to the public. Somehow, I found...
Some Love Sugar that is. This amazing etsy shop is owned by Nicole and Jimmy Chung and after seeing some of their work here last night, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go to bed before perusing their shop. I am thrilled I did! With...
I snapped this pic with my phone about a week ago. I am amazed at how fast baby Ian seems to be growing. Now 3 months old, he is undoubtedly big for his age. In fact at one of his recent checkups, his doctor just looked at him and said, “You’re a well fed baby, so...

This is our first Christmas in the our new home and I have to say that I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect Christmas. The decoration wasn’t grand, but I had the hubby home(for a change), plus there was the newest addition to our family; baby...
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to...
Zion’s play room is a working progress. I actually observe how he uses the space and then go from there with design ideas etc. I painted Zion’s chalkboard wall for him when I was 81/2 months pregnant. I also painted the adjoining walls an orange colour(no surprise...

Hello everyone! All of you will be in for a wonderful treat this week! Since I haven’t blogged or visited you all in awhile (you all know why) to show my appreciation, I figured a Crate and Barrel gift card would be a great start to show you how much I...
