Celebrating Memorial Day Weekend in Pictures.

Celebrating Memorial Day Weekend in Pictures.

Above all else this memorial weekend I am beyond proud of my veteran hubby and all the other men and women(fallen heroes) and those who serve so we can enjoy the luxuries we so easily take for granted. I salute them. Who-AAA! This long weekend, many of us will...

Determination always Pays off…

Determination always Pays off…

I’ve often thought of what it would be like to live in California; the quintessential location for houses that are meticulously designed. Since living there is not an option, I spend a sinful amount of time perusing houses that are located there oohing and aahing at...

Too Much of a Good Thing…

Too Much of a Good Thing…

I have a tendency to wear something “too much” when it is my favourite item. These green pants/capris are currently one of my faves and I have to restrain myself from reaching for them every time I am putting together an outfit to go somewhere. In fact I was recently...

Some tropical inspiration.

Some tropical inspiration.

This tropical inspired vacation home  boasts enviable architectural features like the cathedral ceiling and painted white beams (as pictured above) and is all about comfort, colour, and whimsy! I love that the couches are slip covered for easy wash and care. The...

That girl…

Whitewashed…

Whitewashed…

Or maybe it is the contrast brought about from the use of the light hued furniture and accessories? I see my favourite Italian coffemaker too. I am loving this home more and more! Some serious sunbathing could take place in front of these windows! Love, love it all!...

Newspaper in My Garden.

Newspaper in My Garden.

I live for the weekends because this is when I can find some time to work in my vegetable garden. Today I want to put some mulch down. The mulch will help to trap the moisture in from rain and or when I water the garden. However, first I am going to put down a weed...

A Stylish Parisian Apartment.

A Stylish Parisian Apartment.

I saw this Parisian apartment on one of my must read blogs and had to share it here!  As you know, I’m smitten with all things Parisian and for good reason! The French is the embodiment of beauty and all things stylish.  I love this library/wall...

“Real” Books vs. the Kindle

“Real” Books vs. the Kindle

I was talking to two of my co workers yesterday about purchasing the Hunger Games series(I’ve got the fever). I was telling one of them that I was going to see if Barnes and Noble has them. I asked one coworker where she purchased hers and she said she just ordered it...

Hawaii and a Special Birthday

Hawaii and a Special Birthday

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...

A Friend Like You: Patrice

A Friend Like You: Patrice

Sometimes even I need a reminder of this sometimes. Thank you to my friend Patrice for this reminder… I feel so lucky to have a friend like Patrice; you know the one that you can call on the phone and before you even say that something is wrong, somehow...
