    Shop Girl Shares Cake Wrecks & Emails from Crazy People*

    Well lovelies, I have some big news… This is my 500th post!! It took me 2.5 years, but I finally made it! (It was actually supposed to happen a while back, but I deleted some drafts I never published and it brought my number down… who knew?) I can hardly believe that I’ve come so far from where I started when the Hubs was my only faithful reader, to now having nearly 32 000 visits to my little site. It’s truly amazing, and words can’t express how grateful I am that you keep reading. Thank you. xo Anyhoo, enough with my sap! Let’s get to the real reason you’re here–it’s…

    Jogging Pants Are Not Dress Clothes*

    First things first–a huge THANK YOU to the lovely Karen from A Peek at Karen’s World for featuring me on her blog this week! Go on over and take a peek–I feel special. :) (image found at: http://broadwayworld.com/article/Torontos_THE_SOUND_OF_MUSIC_Extended_Until_32909_20010101) Yesterday I made my way into the City to see a live production of The Sound of Music and… oh. It was AMAZING. My family has always loved the Sound of Music, as is evident by our recurring choice of “The Sound of Music” pose for family photos. This is a photo from the movie: (image found at: http://www.geocities.com/vlsmarble/trivia3.html) Annnnnnd my family. haha (Clicking pictures will magically make them bigger and clearer.…

    Daily Rituals*

    I’ve been thinking quite a bit these past few days while I’ve been away from blogging. I had some 24hr stomach bug that left me immobile on my futon with nothing but Nintendo and my thoughts to keep me company… and after I had played enough Mario Kart I got to thinking about our daily rituals, or routines, if you will. Ritual: any practice or pattern of behavior regularly performed in a set manner. Routine: commonplace tasks, chores, or duties as must be done regularly or at specified intervals; typical or everyday activity I have a lot of these, and have decided to share some with you. :) Some of…

    Weighing In on Weight Loss & Our Story*

    Well, it’s Tuesday again which means it’s time to report on my current fitness challenge. Unfortunately, I didn’t lose a pound this week, I just maintained my current weight. However, I’m not sad about it because I have good news! Like most women out there, I have a collection of “Skinny clothes” (if you try and deny having that pair of jeans, or that jacket that you’re saving for when you lose a few, I won’t believe you! haha). I have quite a collection of Summer Skinny Clothes that I keep at the back of the closet, you know, just in case. Yesterday I tried on a pair of shorts…

    Shop Girl Shares M,L & M and Photos that Changed the World*

    **Have you voted in my poll yet? (–>) Oh, how I love the Civic Holiday… I’d probably love it more if I was working full-time and it was really a holiday for me, but it’s glorious to have the Hubster home for an extra day. We’ve had a busy weekend thus far, but it’s been wonderful. Last night Too Kool invited us over for dinner and I’m happy to report that his food didn’t kill us. haha! In the 5 years I’ve known him, he’s never once cooked for us, aside from bringing over some Little Caesar’s pizza (oh, sweet sweet crazy bread… mmm). We had bbq’d chicken, corn, potatoes…
