Wire Life

I came across this cute website about wires transforming every day things into funny works of art.

Enjoy!

I Wanna Colour

Is it sad that, as a 26 year old woman, 

all I want to do right now is grab a big colouring book 

and a fresh box of crayons and colour the afternoon away?

Decidedly not sad.

Heaven is a Patio

Is there anything better than a patio on a sunny summer afternoon with a drink?

No.

It is one of the very best things about Canadian summers.

We officially christened summer this past weekend with our first trip to a patio.

Until next time, a few dreams of mine for a future filled with patios...

Patron a patio soon, for me. 

Share a drink and a laugh with friends.

Cheers to Summer!

Here Comes The Sun

"Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right"

-The Beatles

My Husband Loves Me

Yesterday, I was watching the Food Network (SHOCKER!) and Bobby Flay was making "Stuffed French Toast"

Doesn't that look unbelievably good?

I mentioned a couple of times during the show how much I wanted to try it.

I woke up this morning, and this is what Chris had made me for breakfast:

Who needs Bobby Flay? 

I have the best husband in the whole world. 

Early Mornings

I am not an early morning person.  I do not enjoy getting out of a comfortable warm bed to face the day, especially when even the sun has deemed it too early.

However, when you and your husband have jobs that start at 7AM, and have a dog that needs to be walked before, 5:45 comes only too early every day.

So, today I tried something new.  Instead of walking quickly, and thinking about how badly I wished I was still in bed, I actually slowed down, looked around, and maybe even.... enjoyed myself?  

The sun was rising (eventually), the sky was the most beautiful shades of blue and pink, Carter was walking peacefully beside me, I could hear birds. 

I felt completely alone in the most wonderful way.

My life keeps teaching me over and over again these days that the simple things in life (like a great walk or a beautiful sunrise) are the things in life that really matter.
