It’s August 1st! What better way to welcome the month ahead with a quick snap of me and my little guy!
A bit of a rainy start, but I am excited to see what new adventures and opportunities arise over the next 31 days.
Little Things
Piggy Backing at Greenwood Park Ajax
It’s the last week of March, and this past weekend we enjoyed some well-above average temperatures. At one point, we hit 17.5C! Definitely spring-like weather.
To end off the Easter long weekend, we strolled through my favourite Durham Region park: Greenwood Park in Ajax. It was quiet, and golden and green.
And here we are, piggy backing into the sun! 🙂
Welcome, Spring!
“The first real day of spring is like the first time a boy holds your hand. A flood of skin-tingling warmth consumes you, and everything shines with a fresh, colorful glow, making you forget that anything as cold and harsh as winter ever existed.” —Richelle E. Goodrich
Spring officially arrived at 11:30 p.m. EST, Saturday. Oh, how I am excited for new beginnings and jean jackets.
Happy 2016: a holiday snapshot
I’m a little tardy with this post, but happy 2016!
I hope you all had a nice holiday; I sure did. My Christmas Eve was filled with family, and as per tradition, a gift exchange with my cousin, Judy. It was a very Elf and One Direction-filled afternoon!
My Christmas and New Year’s was filled with warmth and lasting memories, including a HUGE surprise from my cousin – who came home from the Yukon for the holidays! (I will soon be there for a visit! Six weeks and counting)
And, I celebrated my 28th birthday last week at Cinderella: The Musical at the Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto. WAIT, though. That wasn’t the end of birthday celebrations; I had a intimate dinner with my friends at the beautiful Waterfront Bistro in Pickering.
So, here’s to the new year! I see great things on the horizon. Three incredible trips are planned: Yukon, Norway/Sweden, and Iceland, and I will find even more local adventure with the boy I met 13 years ago; the boy who has come back into my life in the most unexpected way. I’m looking forward to what this year will bring.
Archie’s Girls by MAC
I adore Archie comics and MAC Cosmetics. So, imagine my surprise when the makeup company released Archie-inspired lip glosses, mascaras, and nail polishes around Valentine’s Day. My heart nearly stopped. Did I mention I’m also a sucker for limited edition lines? I usually want to buy up everything – classic compulsive spender, I suppose. But you know what, I am really pleased with these particular purchases. I love, love the “Pep Pep Pep” nail colour, and I also bought two lip glosses (Betty’s Summer Sweetheart and Veronica’s Feelin’ So Good), and the little coin purse.
One thing I will say about MAC, despite their high prices, it’s actually really great quality. Archie’s Girls by MAC has been my favourite limited edition line from MAC (so far), and I really hope they rerelease some of these products again – which they probably won’t.

I love MAC. And Archie comics.
