Day 4 - Home sweet home

It's day 4 and i'm going strong. I kinda like blogging every day, it forces me to sit down at the end of my day and reflect on the day, night or week. This week I am thankful. Thankful for family. Thankful for a family that is loving and strong. This weekend Micheal and I, and the boys along with my brothers family and my mom and dad went to whistler. We stayed in a nice hotel, walked the village, played at the park, drank starbucks in the nice red christmas cups, and spent quality family time sitting around a table eating! Yes, my family loves food. It is the thing that brings us all together, whether it be a baby shower, family christmas, a wedding, you name the occasion, by the end of the night we are all gathered around the food table chatting it up. Nothing brings people together better than food I say :) Anyways, one of my favorit parts of
going away, is coming home. Home to my own bed, home to my shower, home to my kids toys, and home to my couch. Man, you don't miss something until you don't have it, even if it is trivial things. Needless to say, when we got home we scarfed down our wendy's dinner and threw the kids in the bath, and put them to bed by 730. Now i have some time to spend on my wonderful comfy couch, before heading to bed myself. You guys should give blogging or journaling a try, you would be surprised with the outcome. you might learn something about yourself, or find a new respect for the little things from your day. xoxo

Day 3- Movember

It was the first of november and my lovely husband came home from work, had a shower, shaved, you know the normal routine, nothing too crazy. He gave me a little kiss, again nothing
too crazy, and he made me feel how soft his chin was... ahhh nice no stubble. hahaha at the time I didn't notice that he had left the hair on his top lip. when I noticed a few minutes later I promptly asked him " what the heck is that about". he gave me that look like, what do you mean, every things normal over here. hahahaha a moustache is not a normal thing, it is something that old men sport, or creepy middle aged men, not young trying to be hip men. Geesh. He then continued to tell me him and my brother Jamie were growing moustaches for movember. I began to think, what!!!! I have to live with this on his face for a whole entire month, haha is this even possible. Well it turns out they are into this for the long haul. My brother made a group called the fantastic mo's on the official movmeber website and micheal joined as a team memeber. My brother looks like Nacho libre, hahaha it's really funny, and micheal, well he is still to be determined. I think I am slowly getting over my initial shock of the fur on the lip, it is, for a good cause, as it raises awareness for men's health. If any of you want to learn more about movember or to pledge for the team fantastic mo's please go to http://www.movember.com/m/2412092
If they make it through november I will be proud that they stuck with it and relieved that they can finally shave the rugs off.
As for me, this is my contribution, besides signing up as a mo sister, I can't grow a moustache, which is probably a good thing. Till tomorrow, xoxo

Day 2

Day 2 of the blog challenge and i've decided it's going to be harder than I thought. It is 9:45 pm, and here I am! I don't know if this ever happens to you, but more than once a week I wake up singing random songs. It usually hits me when I am drinking my morning coffee and feeding my baby breakfast, it starts off with one song and leads to a whole montage. hahaha I know, kinda crazy. Todays song was very random, one that I haven't heard since my childhood. It was a great church song, don't know the name, but it goes like this; I love to be in your presence with your people singing praises, I love to stand and rejoice, lift my hands and raise my voice, you set my feet to dancing, you set my heart on fire, you give me reason to rejoice!!! So awesome, its a great way to start the day. Got me dancing and singing around my house and of course Hudson joined in with some great dance moves :) we even took down the sweet blanket
fort and made a dance club in it's place. Gotta say, some times being a mom can be challenging and tiring, but it's times like these that make the sleepless nights and snotty faces all worth it. Have a good night. xoxo
