Friday Favourites- fully loaded

Happy Friday! This has been the first week of school and extracurricular for us so we are ready for some weekending. Mama and babes (and always dad) are ready for some R&R. 

Summer is officially gone. Like with everyone else this summer has been a different ones but so many different things have brought joy to us.... listed below in no particular order!

1- After many frogs, we found our ideal patio set. We sat on many, many different sets and looked at many different sources. My problem is that for the aesthetic we are looking for, wicker didn't fit into the look and feel we are going for in our back yard. This mid century modern one fit the bill. 

Forgive the not too expert pictures.




2- After many fitbit years, I converted to the Apple Watch and never looked back. I think it's a more accurate representation of overall fitness vs just steps. And I love looking at how many miles/km we walk. 

3- Speaking of walks, we've never done so many walks as a family. In our hood, using Alltrails, and exploring different neighbourhoods and trails. 



C is getting so big! She looks like me in this pic.




4- Looking for a small to mid size dog and can't find one so the kids became obsessed with getting a hamster instead. Hello Mochi... she has been a welcome addition to our family - hamster bedding everywhere and all. And yeah, D is still out numbered. Shout out to C who did all the research and budgeting before and is the primary caregiver. Honourable mention to A who is obsessed with her!!!


Yep, she is on my head


5- And finally yay for home grown and locally grown food. We have enjoyed the spoils of our garden this summer. Our plethora of tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, yellow beans, Swiss chard, kale, strawberries and herbs brought us so much joy! The watermelon, blueberries, canteloupe, pumpkin, snow peas and squash... not so much. It's a learning process for sure and we can't wait to try again next year :-)




Have a wonderful weekend, loves!!

Linking up with Andrea.

  1. I love that patio set!! Okay, so we are considering Apple Watches as Christmas presents this year, you like it then? Worth it? I've never had a fitness tracker before so I don't know if I care that much and I wonder if I'd enjoy it or not.
