it's my girls' world

Good Morning, friends! I have neglected this little space of mine for a couple days but just wanted to pop in to say hi before I pop out for at least 10 days again for some family time in Vermont and then NYC! Here's what's going on with us....

We are just cleaning out our fridge before we head out on our trip. Lots of salads, leftovers and breakfast for dinner.... the best way to have breakfast IMO.

Call The Midwife. I'm onto Season 3 and I'm loving it. Can't watch it when I'm eating though!! And The Bachelorette. I'm loving Peter on my screen. 

 
What else is new?

Have a wonderful day!! Don't miss me too much ;-)

Summer Fridays are just that much more fun, right? Here are our favourites this week.

1- Three more days until school! Well a week but we're starting summer early here with a visit to Vermont. Gymnastics and dance are done for the year and look who's come back into our lifes. The amazing Sarah who I can't say enough good things about.

2- For a family wedding a couple weeks ago, the bride arranged an amazing makeup artist for us. Using Shay's trick, I asked her what one beauty product she would recommend out of her arsenal, she said this 'miracle cream' (used as a cleanser, moisturiser and a primer) that she uses as a primer which makes the most regular makeup really illuminated.-  I ordered some off Amazon and can't wait to try it.

3- A bit late but a couple weeks ago, my family headed to a local stable where they had a food truck fundraiser... and pony rides. Such a fun little outing! And the butter chicken grilled cheese sandwich?! SO good.

 C goes to camp there in a couple weeks and she is STOKED!

4- A is a flower girl in my cousin's wedding so we were shoe shopping yesterday. I let the girls try on some tiny heels which they begged me for. #yeahno #firstheels #butnotreally

5- And this happened yesterday  after strawberry picking (post coming another time). Half the sugar but still such a sweet treat!

Happy weekending, loves!

With tomorrow being the official start of summer and all, I give you our summer fun list! Though, let's face it, we've been enjoying all things sunshine whenever we can....

As you can see, the fun has begun!

You can check out 2014,  2015 and 2016's lists also.

Happy summer-ing, friends!

This weekend:

- had an awesome start on Friday with home made snow crab and sauvignon blanc. If I had to choose my last meal, that would be right up there. We started a family Bollywood movie but couldn't even finish half.

- I went on a run on Saturday morning with my neighbour. Side-note, she is twenty years older and five inches shorter and I struggled to keep up... and sometimes didn't #fitnessgoals

- We went to Emma's Beauty and the Beast party with all her other cousins. So much kids and so much fun.

- D's brother and his family from Chicago visited and spent Father's Day with us along with D's parents. The cousins had a wonderful time and the kids miss each other so much and are already planning their next visit.

- We ended the evening by heading out to a nice dinner with D's parents and then tried to finish the rest of the movie (spoiler alert, we didn't)

  

Can you tell who is the poser in the group?

And just like that it's Monday again. May your caffeine be strong and your week short!

Well our second ballerina's first recital anyways... Totally worth a Friday Favourite's post, no? This last Saturday was little Miss A's first foray into dance. Each week, she twirled and twerked her little self with her little friends- ok maybe not the latter but girlfriend does bust out some risque moves on occasion. Case in point, her ghetto plie.

First off, hats off to me for this bun perfection :-D #bundonut

 And our little ballerina pre-recital. My girl was a crocodile in a Peter Pan production. #neversmileatacrocodile

 Pre-show colouring.

 We only did one of the three recitals as we had a family wedding to attend but it was a beautiful show! Such a special time for our little lady and we are so proud! Her elegance, grace and confidence (with a little temerity thrown in for good measure) were certainly stage worthy!
