Life lately...


Because I'm a bad blogger (and that's how I need to start all my posts now), I often don't have the time or energy to blog.

Trust me when I say life is crazy (and fun). Sometimes we get some time to ourselves (and on the rare occasion I get some "me" time and things are even more heavenly.

Between work, commuting, cooking, cleaning and playing hide and seek, there isn't too much time left. But sometimes I get to put on my big girl panties (I hate that word lol) and get classy. This weekend I wanted to do something different--have a dinner we wouldn't normally have, and something we couldn't get anywhere else. Fondue. That's right--straight out of the 70's dinner--except better fondue pots lol. We got three amazing fondue sets for our wedding and I always wanted to put them to use, Tyler's cousin and his girlfriend decided to come over, so I immediately ran to the store.

For the oil fondue, we had chicken breasts and strip loin steaks to cook. I didn't realize how juicy and tender cooking like this makes the meat! Yum!

For the cheese fondue (Emmental and Gargonzola cheeses) infused with white wine. Different breads to dip and some steamed veggies. I made WAY too much cheese fondue, but it was my favourite!

On the side, some caramelized onion and cremini mushroom crostini with a whipped goat cheese and roasted garlic spread (toot toot--this was amazing). 
We spent the rest of the evening watching a movie and listening to 90's music before bed:) 

Sunday we cleaned up a bit, went to Chinese buffet for lunch, watched some tv, napped and played the day away.

Today was INSANE at work, but I managed to get this beauty booked for our girls weekend in June!! Can't wait!

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...
