So long, July!

What a crazy month this has been! August will be even more packed with adventures and memories though, so bring it on!

With all the reorganization I am/ have been doing in the house, all the extra appliances are being moved. It was shocking seeing them all out! I am obviously keeping the normal stuff (stand mixer, toaster, can opener, coffee machines, etc) upstairs, but the rest will get put on shelves and such in the basement so I can just grab them when I need them. It is amazing the things you accumulate ! Seen here: food processor, deep fryer, toaster oven, chocolate fountain, mini cupcake maker, blender, stone grill, crock pot (don't use this much in the summer but will get moved back up in the cool weather), and I still have THREE fondue things to add to this when I can get up in that cupboard they are in! Insanity. But I already feel less suffocated with stuff, which is good!!

Garett woke up from a nap yesterday, so I put him in the bouncer while I did some banking online. He wanted out to play, but instead of crying, he was just kind of pouting quietly. I looked up from my iPad to see this insanely cute puppy dog look on his face just staring up on me....I am done for.


Ty got home at a decent hour last night too (yay for the early days he has been getting for himself!) and he took Garett to watch so I could clean one more cupboard for the day, do some dishes/bottles and make dinner.

We have been on a huge turkey kick lately because it is so light for the summer and can take on any taste, so I made an Asian style stir fry with peppers, mushrooms, onion, turkey strips and rice noodles in an Asian style sauce I found a recipe for on Pinterest (yep, thank god for Pinterest ! Lol). It was pretty darn tasty! I don't usually save leftovers of things because they don't always get eaten now that I'm at home, but I will actually eat this for my lunch today! :) 

Garett barely (when I say barely, please note that I mean that!) napped yesterday, so by 7pm he was done for, and grouch monster stayed up until 8:15 before I put him to bed. Have you ever tried to calm an over tired baby? If not, let me tell you, it's not rainbows and kittens. You know how when we are overtired, we fall asleep the second our heads hit the pillow ? Well, when do THAT start happening ? Because his head wouldn't stay down. *sigh. Anyways, around 11 he stayed down and passed right out, poor guy. At least he slept until 9 am. 

We each took a hot relaxing bath last night after dinner, and I did some online shopping in the bath :) now that's pure heaven! Lol

Nothing too new on the go today over here, but I hope you all enjoy your hump day :) it's another beautiful day!!

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
