Getting ready...

Yesterday I finally managed to get all my summer clothes put away. Even when I type it, it doesn't sound like a big job. But going through my drawers to get all my summer skirts/capris/light pants folded and put into bins, then sort through my summer tops (because I have to leave some tank top like shirts out for under blazers/pullovers, etc), get them into the bins, and then wash all the fall/winter clothes and get them hung (and then I hang them in order of colour and if its a pull over, sweater, long sleeve shirt, tshirt, tank top. It's just so time consuming. I cannot wait for when I have a huge closet and can leave ALL my clothes out all year long :) 

I packed away all my summer dresses and cover-ups too, although that bin is still in my room because I will need it when I start packing for Mexico--which is now 53 days away--and for those that know me, know I will be packing in about 33 days lol

I have also bought my bathing suits and am starting shopping for more dresses (I don't pack light--dresses for the day/excursion outfits/fancier dresses for dinner since there's always a dress code at the a-la-Cartes). Plus the shoes, bags, hair products, accessories--it takes planning!

Also, I need to get some sort of idea of what I am doing for Christmas for people-- we are cutting back big time this year, so I will probably just buy each couple something nice that I think they would like--or one nice thing for each individual instead of a few smaller things--you would think this would make brainstorming easier--but it's harder to pick one thing, because what if they hate it??? 

I need to get an idea of what and how much to buy Garett--I know this Christmas doesn't really mean much, so just a few things for him, since he is already drowning in books and toys and clothing. I am going to the big Samko and Miko toy sale, so hopefully find what I want there :) 

On top of that, I have all of the decor picked out for Garett's first birthday party , so I have to start planning that, since once I go back to work I won't have as much time for this stuff...

Ifeel like I need to get all my ducks in a row at this point because the next 3 (alittle less actually) months before work will go by vERY quickly.

Yesterday Ty stayed home because of the rain :) we got quite a bit done around the house and watched the movie Super 8 with dinner--- do yourselves a favour and save 2 hours of your life and don't watch this movie :) 

Sorry to cut it short--bottle time!!

Have a good Tuesday everyone !

    Oh my god, thinking of G's birthdaty already?! I shouldn't be surprised though, like you said (and we all know) you plan well in advance for stuff :) We are also cutting back on gifts this year - Casey and I are doing a stocking tradition and thats it for us and buying only gift cards for people and they can go buy whatever they want :)

    Lol ya, but I don't really have a choice but to start planning for it-- have to get him ready to start daycare/solidify a spot, plan for thanksgiving, Christmas, date days, Mexico, New Years, events in between, get into work to get my pass and get things ready to be back there...it's a crazy time of year and I worry that if I don't plan ahead that some things will suffer--and I don't want my boys bday to be the thing that does :(

    There's no point in big Christmases right now when everyone stresses about what to get and there's no Santa believers among us right now--next year we will pick up the pace again

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...
