Wednesday tag....



1. Do you send Christmas cards? If so about how many will you send this year? How do you display the cards you receive? Or don't you? (gasp!)    I send a handful of cards - very few.  I mainly send greetings my Email.  I just don't see the point these days as I am in touch with everyone daily almost because of Facebook and Email etc anyway.  I send a few to England and to people who request them.  I have a few close friends that like to have them so I will give one with their gifts.   I don't really display cards that I receive except for special cards.  

2. When do kids become adults?   When they turn 18 although in certain places they consider it to be 21 (like Las Vegas and BC) .  I consider it to be 18.  

3. Does your 'beauty regimen' change with the seasons? Only in that I need more moisturizer in the winter.

4. What's something you like to eat that might cause another person to turn up their nose?  I like Marmite on toast :)  I like drinking Oxo and I like fish.  I also like Indian food - spicy curries etc etc.

5. Gloves or mittens? I like fingerless gloves that have the mitten part attached - best of both worlds!!

6. What's the longest queue you've ever been in? Was it worth it? Queue=line but doesn't queue sound nicer? Maybe at the Empire State Building???  

7. Besides Christmas, what is one thing you are looking forward to in the month of December?   Meeting Christine AT LAST :)  I am soooo looking forward to meeting her after so many years :)  I have known her for years and finally get to go to her beautiful new home and meet her :)  I can't wait!!  

8. Insert your own random thought here.   I was called a 'hot young tart' tonight :)  hahaha!!  Made my day!  hahaha!!  John and Jason are good for my soul :)  




Hope you are all doing well and are not too stressed knowing that today is the last day of November.  From reading status updates on Facebook it seems that most people are almost done their shopping for Christmas - and many have the gifts wrapped already too!  

It isn't too late to join us over at Shimelle.com for Journal Your Christmas - one of my favourite classes ever!!  It is a wonderful way to enjoy the season and capture all the memories and emotions of the next few weeks!  Once you sign up you are a lifetime member and get to take part each and every year after!!

My Beauty...


Swimming like fish :)



Me and my cherubs hit the pool today for a little bit of swimming....the pool was nice and empty as usual and lovely and warm :)  

Abigail is a great swimmer, and Sam is also doing really well - I only put a life jacket on him for when we go in the whirlpool and when the waves are on...the rest of the time he likes to practice his under water swimming and diving skills to pick things up from the bottom of the pool.  He can open his eyes under water as he swims which is something I've never been able to do.  

We did some grocery shopping on the way home, but made sure we were home in time for Susannah in case she wasn't feeling great.  She was in a great deal of pain because of her mouth but said she was glad she had gone to school.  She hadn't taken any pain killers all day though - silly thing - and hadn't been able to eat all day either :(  So glad I sent her to school with a bottle of Pediasure at least!!  

The children are excited for tomorrow and so am I!!  december 1st!!  We get to open our Advent calendars!!!  And Shimelles 'Journal Your Christmas' begins again :)  I have been taking this class for a few years now, but this is Vals first year!!  I gave the class to her as a birthday gift back in January!!  Can't wait to have her join me for the class - only because I know how stressful December has always been for her, and I hope that the class helps to make it less stressful and bring a little more peace to the season for her!  I know it has made me enjoy Christmas soooo much more!  For one, it makes me get ready for Christmas so much earlier....and it makes Christmas seem to last so much longer as the focus is there from the first of december!!


Saw this fabulous quote on FB this morning:



‎"Trust takes years to build, only seconds to break, and forever to repair. Something to think about. The person who accuses you of wrong doing, is generally the person who is doing wrong".

So true!
