My "mom" wish list







I won't call it my Mother's Day wish list, since some of the things are absurd and obviously I would not expect them from anyone but myself. But when my husband starts asking me about things I want for mother's day, I start going crazy! haha


1) A splash/fun zone for the backyard in the summer.
This one is obviously too big, but I love that it's inflatable, and is a water play thing. G loves to splash around, and this would keep him so busy all summer long, while I am a beached whale on the outskirts. Funny how toys for other people start creeping in on your own "want list" when you become a mom!?



2) A new car. It's nice not to have car payments on my own vehicle, since we have two new trucks now. But I can't help but want my new car now. Definitely not before the baby is born...but maybe halfway through my maternity leave I will bite the bullet. Ford Edge is what I'm leaning towards :) We are kind of VIP's at the ford dealership at this point, having bought three new trucks in the last 6 months, so I think I'll stick with that treatment ;)



3) A new summer maternity wardrobe. I can easily make it through this weather with my regular clothes. I haven't had to rely much on anything maternity yet, but I know I will probably need to buy some pieces to get me through the last bit of work in the warmer times, and to comfortably survive outside of work until baby comes.





4) A shag trellis style area rug for my downstairs living room. Currently this space is a nothing zone, but I need at the very least to buy a rug for some inspiration in there. I have settled on a rug like this, but just have to find the size and colours I want.

5/6)
This is what I actually asked Tyler for for mother's day. I was at the spa about a month ago and saw this Scentsy "Evolve" diffuser. I want it. I still do. But its huge, and I don't know if I'm ready for a diffuser that size when I'm new to the world of essential oils. It's about $160, so I asked for a $50 one to start instead. Also, a starter kit of essential oils to work with!




What's on your wish list??

    The Ford Edge is a great choice for a new car, especially when you have a baby on the way. The latest safety features in this new Ford will protect you and your precious cargo for years to come. This is certainly a vehicle that you can grow into over the years as baby goes from car seat to booster seat.

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...
