We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in the South of France this year. A trip of a lifetime. When hubby mentioned that he had something special planned he included stops along the Cote d'Azur with us visiting Nice, Cannes, Monaco and Grasse. We had contemplated visiting Menton as well but we … [Read more...]
The Last Day of October
It's no secret that I'd been ready for October end, but I do enjoy the Halloweening... might as well go out with a loud noise, right? BAM. The other day I talked about getting my costume together, which was fairly easy since I owned nearly all the components already, but the hard part was … [Read more...]
Halloween Aftermath
I read somewhere recently that experts say sugar doesn’t make kids hyper. In fact the article said that it’s basically “in the parents head” and that we imagine our kids being extra hyper after we know they ate a pile of candy.

In Case You Didn’t Know, It’s Halloween.
My feed is drenched with Halloween photos today, of course. It's a good day. My girls went to school dressed as a medieval princess, Merida, and an Orca whale.

From My Closet – October 31st, 2013
Say hello to my leetle frieeeeend... I'm not in costume yet because it's too early in the day, plus it's really, really hard to carve pumpkins in drag, but will I be riding around town scooter-ninja-style wearing this get-up today while I pick up the last of the accoutrements? You bet your sweet … [Read more...]

There are so many things about parenthood that irk me. And I know that I will miss those things when my kids grow up. The toys scattered throughout the house. The printing on the walls. The fingerprints on the windows. One thing I know I won't miss is carving a pumpkin at Halloween. I absolutely … [Read more...]
Halloween (the pre-show)
Our sense of smell has to be our strongest sense, no doubt. Last night we carved our pumpkin and I gotta tell ya, as soon as I opened up the top of that bad boy, the smell of the inside of the pumpkin took me back to being a kid. What a wonderful tradition carving a pumpkin is. I don’t know who … [Read more...]
It’s a Kijiji Christmas!
There is no avoiding it is there. It's coming. The stores are full of decorations and it even snowed this week. Christmas! Ho Ho Horrible? Actually, I'm not dreading it. Amazing what these kids can do for you. I've made a decision about this year's shopping. It will be minimal. Last year, … [Read more...]
No Trick…Maximizing Your AIR MILES Reward Miles is a Treat!
Decorations for the house, getting all dressed up, hosting parties, giving gifts…sounds like I’m talking about Christmas, right? Wrong!
