it's my girls' world

For today's Wacky Wednesday post, I got this great idea from Steph. it's all about those things that make me a little nervous.... not full on panic attack warranted or anything... but some little things that if I had to, I wouldn't put myself in the situation:

+ Other people's cats brushing my legs. So glad D is allergic.

+ Wearing white to dinner out- especially if it's saucy like Mexican or Indian. 

+ Underpacking for a vacay- sidenote, I kind of did it for my kids last month and they lived to tell the tale.

+ Getting too little sleep. I'm a 7-8 hour kind of girl and any less and I stress about it... sometimes waking up and thinking-- with this later bedtime, there's no way I'm getting enough sleep. 

+ Having to make impromptu speeches to a crowd

+ Weighing myself after a food filled weekend- like the last one--- eeep!

+ Seeing my side profile in a pic. I'm not a fan. Sidenote, you're probably not going to find any on this carefully curated blog LOL.

+ Under-dressing- either for the weather or for an evening out. 

+ Getting to an appointment late. If it's something social, not such a big deal but an appointment-- not at all!!

+ Parallel parking-- especially with an audience of cars waiting for you to get in the spot.... eeekkk. Maybe that one belongs in the things that make me very nervous category.

Am I out to crazy town? Any one agree with any of these? What are those things that make you kind of nervous?  Sound off in the comments below. 

Happy Friday, friends! Today, we're all about the celebrating of this little lady and her birthday festivities that we had for the past few days. 

For the first time ever, this little party queen opted to do no party but instead asked for a few of her friends to spend the day with her. 

First stop, the movies! Dumbo was the show and it was a good one!

How did those double digits creep up so quickly?! Today, we have a ten year old in the house! Sidenote, she's 10 on the 10th... so an even doubly special birthday.

C is a bright, shiny, beautiful little lady. She has a kind heart and a sweet soul. She is always up for a good time and little laugh. She has the biggest FOMO, is always up on kid pop culture and fashions and her musicality rocks!

She is a busy one that's for sure. This year, she's doing/already did violin, piano, skiing, karate, swimming, engineering and will start soccer again very soon. She loves it all and will incorporate even more if my time/our budget permits (sidenote, not happening). Ask her to do some extra math (which she's kind of awesome at) and she will procrastinate all the way until the nighttime.

Our little social butterfly, she navigates the playground politics aptly and has a few really great friends both at school and at swimming. I truly see her in her element with her swim friends in the change room and it warms my mama heart.

And in honour of her special day, here are her questions I ask every year....

Favourite colour?

Orange... because it's pretty

And your favourite Food?
Ummm ... butternut squash soup

What toy do you like most?

I don't really play with toys anymore 

(so sad but also a little happy at the same time)

Yay for Wednesday. #reallynotreally LOL. Here's what's been going on lately for a little currently with Anne.

Experiencing: long waiting times on the phone to see if I get a price adjustment on a vacay we are planning. (Update, I didn't- womp, womp)

Appreciating: that despite the days being so short, the years are so short and this little one turns double digits this week.

Wishlisting: health, grace and happiness for all. Everything is else is negotiable. 

Posting: Not enough blog posts as work has been swamped. Just some random pics on insta'.

A little after vacay nostalgia.

Considering: different options for summer camps this year. I'm usually on top of this and I've booked at least a couple camps for the girls but with a couple travel plans still needing to be ironed out, I still need to get 'ish done. 

And for prime lately with Tanya, here's what "we've" been up to...

This awesome dress for an even more awesome price. 

Confession, I have a big head so I need a large fedora.... and I got this for our recent trip... until my nephew, my brother and my kids began clamouring for it. If I put it twice on my head, it was lots!

 

These mesh bags are awesome... When I remember to take them to the supermarket, they totally make a difference in our single use package consumption. 

Make your Wednesday wonderful, friends!!
