Wordless Wednesday: Summer Vacation
These two photos were taken this afternoon by our neighbour in her beautiful garden. Bliss!
As luck would have it
Last Saturday did not go according to plan. It was supposed to go like this: Saturday morning: walk with DD to the park then playdate with playgroup friends Saturday afternoon: run errands, respond to #SixWordFriday posts Saturday night: dinner out with moms from aforementioned playgroup Instead, Saturday involved a random call from our neighbour as … Continued
My downfall
You wouldn’t think that something so small would cause such havoc. But here before you lies my downfall. The terrible-for-you-but-somehow-oh-so-tempting…rosebud. I used to turn my nose up at them. Wouldn’t dare to let something so truly bad for me touch my lips. And then I got pregnant. Suddenly, rosebuds became extremely appealing. And addictive. Now … Continued

The tweetathon auction raised $30,000 to help … Continued
new shoes
On the weekend I downloaded several photos stored on our camera. While sorting through them, I came across this photo taken two Sundays ago in the late afternoon. We had just come home from purchasing DD new shoes. I love the joyful energy of this photo as she races down the street. In her new … Continued
