Today was one of those absolutely perfect days. From start to finish, I loved everything about today. I loved that I got to start reading the September editions of my favourite magazines this morning, on the dock, with the sounds of the kids and the Husband swimming in the background. I loved that it was... Continue Reading →
21. Surprises in the Garden
So, I've been a little remiss this week when it comes to my garden. I've been meaning to get out and clean things up all week. But deep down I think I knew I had so much to do out there, the few minutes here and there that I could have spent gardening, just didn't... Continue Reading →
20. DisneyWorld – Planning Can Make for a More Magical Trip
Disney has come up a LOT as I've made my way through the the week. Not that this has been entirely coincidental. I did have my brief flirtation with the idea of a runDisney event (although I'm not sure I've entirely abandoned this idea . . . anyone want to do one with me??) which... Continue Reading →
19. In Which I Tackle Clutter
As I looked around the house today, I wondered if it was possible to drown in clutter. The family room seemed to be a respite, not for family members, but for random bits and pieces of the kids' toys deposited there and forgotten over the course of summer. My kitchen was piling up with forms,... Continue Reading →
18. To Plant a Garden
As the Audrey Hepburn quote goes . . . which I know I've used before on this blog . . . "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow" The downside to being up north for so long was that my garden got a little bit neglected. While The Husband took great care to... Continue Reading →
17. Planning. Simplified.
With both kids off at camp today, I had a few moments to myself to sit down and start planning with my new pink (!) Simplified Planner. Let me first say that I LOVE this planner. I didn't know it was possible to love a planner so much, if at all, until I started using... Continue Reading →
16. Finding the Joy in Coming Home (when I’d really rather still be up north)
I did NOT want to come home from up north today. Not one little bit. I didn't want to pack. I didn't want to put shoes on (I never wear shoes up north, unless I have to get into the car to drive somewhere, which doesn't happen often). And I didn't want to put on... Continue Reading →
15. Some Days Just Call For Cake
We awoke this morning to the sound of rain. Pouring rain to be exact. So what do you do when you're stuck inside with 4 kids ranging in age from 1 through 8? You bake. Among other things. Like card games, board games, dress up, puddle jumping, swimming in the rain, movie time . .... Continue Reading →
14. Cottage Workouts II & Adventures in the Kitchen with My Son
This week has been HOT! And HUMID! Which has made working out HOT! And SWEATY! While we were treated to a few moments of gorgeousness while the sun rose, dark clouds were pushing in on the horizon, bringing with them the promise of rain. And so, I decided to get up, and get going, and... Continue Reading →
13. Where I Fell In Love With Baking & The Cookie Recipe that I Have as a Momento
In my first post in this series of #100morselsofjoy, I talked about the resort I grew up going to ever summer, and how all the owners of the resort were related, and how each one of them took care of a specific aspect of running the resort. Well, while all the owners hold a special... Continue Reading →
