Happy Anniversary Husband!!!! Thanks for sticking it out with me these past three years, here's to 30 more!!!! Love you!!!!! xoxoxoxox

Word of the Day...to the power of AWESOME!!!

So, you need to check out this website!

www.savethewords.org

This fun site is chalked full of words from the Oxford English Dictionary that get very little use and the website seeks to find "adopters" for abandon words.

It's a fantastically fun time waster and educational too! My suggestion is to view the website with your speakers on....

Enjoy!

Another new family member on the way!

Not me & Mike! But my special cousin Jody and her lovely husband Dave are expecting their third! Due at the end of October, Baby Wyatt will be another lovely edition to our family and we're excited to meet him!

I've got a ton of photos to update the blog with from this summer, including pics of the latest new family member, Aiden, who arrived right on time on July 6th!

Before I start downloading and then uploading those photos, I wanted to give Wyatt his blog shout-out as I've done with Baby Kate and Baby Aiden - apparently a tradition I've created for myself and you all...hooray??.... :)

So, anyways, the nursery that awaits wee Wyatt is one themed around pirates - AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!! - hence the theme in art work below! Again its all from Etsy and I threw in some other nautical themes as Wyatt is half New Foundlander!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!

Happy Canada Day Everyone!!!!

I hope you all have a lovely day!


(Do you like my fancy handy work? I'm pretty please with myself if I do say so!)

And I've brought some Canadian cheer to work! After the Americans get over the shock of my cube (I may or may not have decorated it with a flag that wraps almost entirely around it...), they enjoyed this Food Network Strawberries-and-Cream Tart that I made for them as a gesture of friendship and goodwill! :)

Quote of the Day

King 5 News @ 10pm:

"The US will play England tomorrow at the World Cup. This game will be a rematch for the two teams, the US won the last time they played each other in 1950"

Ahahahaha, seriously?! Rematch?!?! It was 60 years ago!...I think England has gotten over it! ;)

Good luck to both teams tomorrow!...God Save the Queen! :)

Our little garden

Here are a few pics of our little garden that I planted a few weeks ago! Due to the wooded area directly behind our building, we only get a few hours of direct sunlight a day (provided its not being wonderfully west coast - gray and pissing rain) so we have to jam our few pots of flowers and cute Japanese maple into the corner of the deck that gets the most sunlight. I'm really pleased with how pretty they've turned out! The colours of the stock flowers are so vibrant, the violas are soft and pretty and the lavender is starting to bloom.









After much coercion Moose agreed to have his picture taken in our "garden".

Under foot beauties

I came across these two beauties today on Overstock.com

I would love love love to have this Sage Green Peacock wool area rug for my living room, provided the colours were true to the way my screen displays them!



And if I had a cream/neutral coloured themed family room or bedroom, I think this Gensis wool area rug would add a nice punch of pattern without overwhelming the room.



PS - the formatting of these pics is driving me nuts! Why do you vex me photobucket???!!!
