the-impossible-2012-movie-wallpaper01For a real review you can check here/ photo props:  http://www.anthonybehindthescenes.com/2013/04/little-shop-movie-review-impossible.html

I am a big movie buff.  I would even go as far as to say that I prefer to watch a movie over  reading a book. *gasp*.  I love the big screen, the loud sound and watching writers words and tales come to life!  I also love eating unhealthy, yummy, buttery popcorn.  It’s the little things in life right?

Weekly photo Challenge: Escape

Image

I love laying back in the poolside chairs while the kids splash and play and checking out the beautiful view 😉

The Granby Zoo in Granby, Quebec, Canada is one of our favorite places to go with the children.  I would love to escape for a day away here with the family.

My baby is 6 today!

Chubby bubby.  Adam was 11 pounds 5 ounces at birth

I can’t believe it, really.

ImageHe’s always been into little things, taking remote controls apart, exploring electronics and building..

Time does fly doesn’t it?

This is one of my favorite photos of ‘Boo’, Adam’s nickname, seen here playing peek a boo at the Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Canada

What a sweet boy. *sigh*

I find it a fitting day.  I have been going to the annual kindergarten Spring Tea at the children’s school for the last 6 years in a row.  We have junior and senior kindergarten here so I have been attending for Noah, Eden and Adam.  Sadly this will be my last one as a Mother but I’m so thankful that it falls  on Adam’s birthday this year.  Maybe one day I will return…

Victory Stance. A poem about addiction.

Addiction,

It’s like a grappling hook

Pulling into,

grabbing

Digging into rock

A false sense of safety

Trust and faith in a rope

A hook that can fail

And leave you spiraling

Falling

Tumbling

Down to the ground

You grab hold of the rope

Pulling

Before and After Photos because you know you love them… and more snobbery.

More of my snobbery on kitchen reno’s this time…

So we have a big clan and we needed a big house to fit all my children.  An old shoe would no longer do!

So we bought our second fixer upper.  A very spacious 8 bedroom house.  The first one is now a rental and it’s still in grave need of more fixer-uppering (I know that’s not a word, please don’t email me about it)  There are never enough hours in the day.

So welcome to my beautiful eat in kitchen! (We also have a dinning room)

ImageIsn’t it so spacious?  I know it’s great but in need of a little update? Or maybe a complete overhaul!!??
What is with the cardboard cutout kindergarten trim?  And the not even worthy of the outdoors railing stuff?…  Want to see more?

Image

*not the gold lamee mirror at the end of the room* Some one suggested that we sell it on eBay?  Really?*

PAY DAY THURSDAY: Guest Blogger Post

Thank you to everyone who submitted posts. There were so many wonderful posts to choose from.  I linked back to everyone’s articles at the bottom of the post.  If it was an original post I linked back to their main page on their blog.  Please give their blogs a look.

While reading this post I was captivated.  I kept going back to it.  It was full of voice, I could hear Kevin speaking through the words.  This post made me think.  It was engaging.  It was curious.  I found myself thinking about Alice in Wonderland it was curiouser and curiouser.  The mind and the memory are fascinating to me.

I’d like to introduce you to Kevin Brennan from the blog What the Hell.  He is originally from St. Louis, MO, and now lives in Petaluma, CA.
