Baby favourites*

 Again, nothing too interesting to post yet, and this weekend is proving to turn out to be a pretty low-key one for us, finally :) So as I am sitting here watching Garett playing away in his exersaucer and watching Sesame Street, I decided to write a blog about the shows and toys/products I couldn't have made it through the last few months without! I was so worried while I was preggo about what I would need, so I pretty much just bought every imaginable thing in existence. I will know better for my next pregnancy what works for me--but like everything else, what I use and what works for me may not be so fantastic for others! *ps. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dr. Phil are on Sesame Street today--did celebrities used to be on it when we were little????....* During Pregnancy: The main thing I was SO happy to have while I was pregnant (that is, until it went flat), was my Snoogie Pillow. I paid full price for this puppy which was about 70 buckaroos, but if anyone else will buy it (and I ...

What a beautiful day! Mind you the windows are sealed shut and the A/C is on, but it looks beautiful out! It's just too darn humid and muggy out there to bring the boy out for our walk :( I wish we had the dry heat like the Carribean does so we could enjoy it more! Ah well--I won't complain because anything is better than all that rain (and snow...) Since I have nothing overly interesting to discuss today (not too much happens through the week on our end since I'm with Garett all day and we usually go to bed right after dinner when Ty gets home lol), I will just share some random facts about me ! 1) My favourite thing to do now on a Saturday night is to throw on PJ's and cuddle on the couch with my man, order in chinese and watch a movie with our little one between us! 2) I go through phases of just wanting to be alone (well, with Tyler since we're married and he's like an extension of me at this point lol). Like the last thing I want to do sometimes is s...

Random Survey

Is there anybody you just wish would fall off the planet?  Not really. There are people I could really do without but disappearing is a bit much. How do you flush the toilet in public?  With my foot Do you wear your seatbelt in the car?  Always Name one thing you worry about running out of Time. But in a more literal sense, probably toilet paper and not noticing until its out until you need it. What famous person do you (or other people) think you resemble?  Tyler has said Kristen Stewart a few times and when I was really skinny, I got Eva Longoria a few times from a few people. What are your super powers? Extreme multitasking Peppermint or spearmint?  Spearmint Where are your car keys?  In my purse  What's your most annoying habit?  Probably telling the same story twice to people after forgetting I already told them lol Where did you last go on vacation?  Cuba What is your best phy...

How is it already almost June?! Really though. In my mind I knew the date but it wasn't until this morning as I was crossing off the last few days on the calendar did it sink in!There are so many things coming up to keep track of, I don't know if I'm coming or going. Yikes! This weekend Ty attended his fishing derby that he goes to in the spring and fall, so I decided I didn't want to hang out at home by myself with the babes, so I packed up, loaded the car, put out a ton of cat food and water for the kitties and hit the road on Thursday to go to my parents house. It was a really nice weekend with lots of visiting and I even went for my first round of golf (only 9 holes). We didn't have the greatest weather to do it, but at least we didn't get poured on! Surprisingly, I actually really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back out:) I was surprised by how well I did actually (probably another reason I liked it lol). I got some nice golf gear too so I can play i...

Bucket List

Image
Since I really have nothing interesting to say (does anyone really want to listen to me blab about my overly boring night where Tyler cut the grass and how I did groceries this afternoon and spent an impossible amount of money? probably not). So instead, I will take my top items from my Bucket List. Which I'm sure everyone knows is a list you make to do before you kick the bucket. I have been building my list for quite some time, but here are my top "wants" from my list of over 200 things. 1) I have an enormous desire to travel to Italy. I want to see all the sights and travel around on foot eating in little cafes, drinking wine, and planning as we go! One of the most important things I think would be to taste true Italian pasta! 2) I want to travel the world, but I have a lot of specific places to visit on my list, each one for different reasons--sights to see, foods to eat, activities to partake in, but some are just for the beaches/relaxation, etc. One of the...

My Favourite Things

Image
So I was looking through some old blogs I posted and noticed one I did with my favourite things, and you know what? Garett is sleeping so I feel like sharing again--my 2013 list of favourite things! hehe Beauty Products: 1) Shampoo/Conditioner I love is Matrix. The smell of this is amazzzzinggg. I discovered this brand at my hair salon (which is also where I purchased it). It is great for those that use a lot of styling products, but has really kept my hair insanely soft because I don't use many heat products on my hair. This brand also makes an oil like product to put on your hair after your straighten it to keep any and all flyaways away and just seal the straightness in, so to speak lol...well it smells the same and makes your hair soft, soft, soft (AND shiny!). 2) I have 2 different types of soap I like. I like to use bar soap when I have sunburns or am in the bathtub. The soap I like to use there is Olay Luscious Embrace soap (the purple one). It smells so clean and ...

Well folks, get ready. I hope you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday because it was short lived. It's supposed to be overcast and rainy for the rest of the week. It must also be a full moon or something too because Garett is literally a ball of energy today. From the moment he woke up he's been flailing around and playing lol.  I STILL need groceries (stupid holidays and stores being closed!). So last night, on Tyler's way home from work, he stopped and picked up some club sandwiches for us to munch on for dinner. He took a quick bath and I grabbed a shower and we watched Come Diner with me Canada (he would never choose voluntarily to watch this show, but once it's on and I get him to start watching, he gets into it lol). We went to bed fairly soon after because we're lame like that (and also the baby was sleeping). Turns out, Garett falling asleep at 8:30 didn't matter because he slept until 4:50, woke up for a bottle, sucked it down in 7 minutes and was b...
