It's the most hectic time of the year

We had a busy morning over here colouring and snipping away. We put up the last of the décor for the kids Christmas party tomorrow, and I must say the three of us that did it, did an awesome job. Endless ornaments and coffee filter snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, wrapped EVERY cubicle like a present, 100 carolling snowmen made out of construction paper, scenes of snow hills and Disney characters tobogganing, tons of paper link garland, bows, etc...looks so Christmas-y :) Taking it down will be NO FUN haha


We are off to the spa for an hour or so of pampering...they have enough chairs and estheticians to do all six of us at once so we can chat :) Very friendly and accommodating staff here:

We are all getting the Warm "Happy Feet" Pedicure:


The feet are soaked, the nails are reshaped, the cuticles are groomed and conditioned and the calluses are smoothed.
The feet are treated to a sugar scrub with cinnamon , a tangerine warming mask is applied and a massage is performed with a warming Gehwol Cream.
  • The mask: an exclusive blend of essential minerals that help regenerate and revitalize the skin. The warm effect can provide temporary relief to minor aches and pain.
  • The Polish: choose from our most current collection of OPI colors and our Deborah Lippmann collections colors that are exclusive to our Spa
(We are excited!)

Afterwards, we are staying in the area and hitting up Jonny Canucks for some good old fashioned pub fare. http://www.jonnycanucks.com/


Ty will be picking G up tonight, and I just need to stop at the post office on the way home--some of G's birthday party decorations have arrived :)


I picked up his invitations last night and will mail them out to the few family members that are invited (He's not having big birthdays for another year or two yet--too many people around when he already has too many toys, so keeping it small :)). They are so cute, I love them! I had also ordered and 8x10 of my favourite family picture of us to replace the picture of me and G in the frame in our living room upstairs--this way daddy actually exists in pictures around the house also lol.


We gave our daycare provider her gift/money/card yesterday and she just loved it :) I love being able to put a smile on someones face. Much better than receiving gifts, that's for sure!


I also completed the careful assembly of Garett's stocking. It required a lot of strategy the way things are stacked in there so it stays standing on its own (well...leaning up against the wall or couch haha)


I am almost all caught up on laundry again, which excites me --I hate going out and about for a few days and coming home to a huge pile and a mess. Need to finish cleaning house before tomorrow evening!


We are off for the day shortly, and if I don't have time to write tomorrow, I will do a catch up on Monday :) Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

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...
