Are you there Bloggers? It's me, Amy...

I have not been a good blogger. But ask me how much I care? Ziiiiiiillllccchhhhh Garett is getting more and more active as the days go on, staying awake for huge periods of time and being a sponge to everything, so I'm trying to do fun stuff with him and spend time enjoying this time because if I've learned anything over the last (longer than) 7 months, is that it goes WAY too fast.  So, while he blows off some steam in his jolly jumper, I thought I would catch up a bit. There, we are all caught up. lol. That's right, there is a glorious lack of information, pictures or stories to share at the moment.  Tomorrow I will be cleaning and packing all day until Ty gets home from his gig. Then we are finishing his packing in the morning, heading to Cornwall to drop off the G man for 2 nights and hop on over to Montreal for our second wedding anniversary (can it really be 2 years already???). MUCH deserved time off--is it bad I want to nap the whole time?? Lolol but I will put on m...

I don't know about you all, but I am happy to see this Monday come! Didn't do much this weekend but it seemed hectic ! Probably because I was playing Lone Ranger parent a lot of the weekend lol Thursday Ty was home pretty early! he brought Garett a present--a real Marvel Hulk guitar. the box says 4+, but we will open it around 2 yrs to get a head start. i think it's killing ty not to open it and play with it himself haha later that night we bought Django Unchained on the Apple TV and all relaxed. I'm surprised I liked this movie so much--I usually don't like things with gore, but the story was just so good!! Friday night Ty had a party to go to for his uncles birthday, and since it only started later in the evening (like I'm talking after Garett's bedtime lol), he went ahead and stayed the night.  During the day I had a dress fitting/got to take my dress home for my sister in law/ one of my bestest's wedding. My dad came to town and took myself and Garet...

Not really me, but I do think men reap many benefits Of which certainly wish I could partake.  Here are some reasons I feel women could just want to be a man as a form of vacation: 1) do I need to state the obvious about standing to pee? You would not have to pull your pants down and sit. That seems like a luxury. Not to mention all the times it would come in handy--camping, when you just can't wait and you're in the middle of nowhere , etc. 2) I do not want to stereotype here, but in my home meals are cooked (usually ) and it takes all my free time just to clean up after mr. Hurricane. Gee, I really would LOVE a live-in maid myself, thank you!! 3) not having hips. Who knew that having hips was the cause of jeans that never stay flush to your skin when you sit!! Can I get an amen? 4) not needing a necklace, shoes, rings, earrings, bracelets to match every outfit you own and any future outfit you may buy, 5) so much less prep time--long hair? Nope! Makeup? Nope! Moisturizing rit...

What a thunderstormy kind of day! I normally really like these days when I'm home, but Garett does NOT. It's hard to get the house to look like natural lighting and I think he feels like it is night time always on days like this and he doesn't want to play or anything. Oh well! One day in the last I don't know how long is ok with me! The car needs a good wash:) lol Yesterday was a low key day. Ty was done work and shopping for a few things he wanted and was home early. We were both tired, so I made a nice dinner. I did up an Alfredo sauce I found a recipe for--YUM. Next time I would put more on the pasta (like double the recipe lol) but it was still good:), added a bit of broccoli, and I had marinaded some steaks in a garlic/cracked black pepper marinade I wanted to try and broiled them up so we didn't have to BBQ. Mmmm I want to eat more of this now lol Garett has been so funny these last few days, like a little man. He is just talking away, crawling, climbing, sta...

Last night was tame, as always. Ty got home around 4:30 and gave Garett his last bit of zucchini and some banana for dessert, followed by a bath while I cooked dinner. I whipped up some bacon and asparagus wrapped in phyllo pastry, chicken in a cream sauce and scalloped potatoes au gratin. Can I just say how I cannot get over never having used the mandolin-like slicer attachment for my food processor. It is so fast! I sliced 10 potatoes in 15 seconds--no lie.  After dinner, we really just relaxed, and it wasn't long before it was bed time for all of us :) see? Tame!!! Lol I feel like with all the pregnancy/childbirth/being an obsessive mommy madness I never talk about Tyler  anymore other than in a date night recap, to complain or to say what time he got home. But the truth of the matter is this man deserves a blog entry dedicated to him, and then some! Lol here are some reasons I literally have the best husband in the world: 1) he is my BEST friend. No joke, I tell him everyt...

Well, this is not the post I was hoping to be writing today. Because on a scale of 1 to fun, I wanted to be writing a fun one, instead, it turned out to be about a 3 lol Friday, Ty decided to take the day off (bonus) and we headed up to the cottage for the day, stopping to do a few work related things on the way. It was such a nice relaxing day. We hung out an played, we put out a blanket on the grass near the beach to lay on, took Garett in the water (only the shallow stuff) and he crawled and splashed around for a while having a blast. He tried to eat a few handfuls of sand, but mom and dad caught him before he succeeded (poor guy lol). We had an early dinner of potatoes and chicken on the BBQ and helped load everyone up before heading back to town. It was just the day in the sun and fresh air we needed for a break! Will post pics later :) Saturday, I had prepaid for our date day to the national capital craft beer weeks final day, and we were so excited to sample local breweries good...

I have been in hiding the last few days playing with my favourite little dude:)  so, pardon my lack of posts and my lack of desire to write. I still don't feel overly motivated to pour over every detail from the last few days since who really cares, right? Lol Today I will not post about cleaning or shopping or even about yummy suppers I've been making, but instead about the truths of life ( or mine at least ).  These are 5 main truths I can think of in my almost 27 years--and will only keep adding to the list as the years go on! The number one truth of life is this: my little family I made takes my breath away. Every moment of everyday I am thinking about them and my heart is exploding with love. I had no idea before I had a baby. I thought i did--but, wow...this love...just wow. There is no better way to explain it other than to say it was like I wasn't living before; I was going through the motions and waiting for life to start. Becoming a mom has completed my life, this...
