it's my girls' world

I'm emerged from moving mania for a quick break to shout out my awesome friends(bloggy and otherwise) and  family for being around for three years with me! You guys are the GREATEST! 

Here are the five top posts from my last year.... like old school days/beauty pageants (in ascending order)

5-

You guys loved when I shared my not so proud mom confessions.

4- 

Christmas decor! Yes please-- I enjoy other people's decorations too, obvs! 

3- 

Target is my jam and I've even made a special one day trip to the US for it last year... My favourite target stuff post was right up there too!

2- 

We all love lazy hair tips!

1- 

And my number one post for 2015 (and ever) was the Lady Bug Caprese Bites (thanks Div)! It's my most pinned post too!

Cheers guys! Thank you so much for reading, the comment love and all the kind words you all cyber send my way. I started this blog as I wanted to capture all the sweet stuff that my little ones were doing and three years later, here we are!

Have an amazing week! T minus 4 days til' moving!!

 

 

I've been scarce I know. The good news is only 8 more days of this moving madness! The even better news is that for the most part (apart from the totally essential essentials) we are all done with the packing. The BEST news is that we've actually begun unpacking--- kitchen today. Stuff is also getting done-- like trim, counter tops and painting.... so while I thought this time would be super stressful, I'm actually allowing myself to get just a tiny bit excited as well!

In the meanwhile, just a few photos from everyday life...

Took a quick break from all the mayhem to go on a lunch date with my sweet girl!

 

 

It's a little late I know but I totally love Andrea's Show & Tells so I wanted to squeeze this one in… 

For those who are new, I'm Sarita. I was born and I grew up in Trinidad, a Caribbean island. I loved life there, my family, my friends, my job and the very warm weather…. but then I met a boy (another Trinidadian) who was about to migrate to Canada again-- this time for good. So in a way I followed him... after a long distance relationship year #reallynotreally. I did my MBA up in Canada for two years full time and when I graduated, we got married. Three years later Cassia was born, three years after that ca and three years after that, here we are.

 I started this blog when A was almost six months old as a way to remember all the small stuff my kids were doing and we wanted to capture. Most of my family doesn't live in Canada so the blog also a way for them to get caught up with the girls, their milestones and their activities. My biggest feat to date is raising two strong, smart girls who believe that the world is theirs to OWN… Hence the blog name… it's my girls' world

Oh and I also share recipes, tips and tricks and all the other little bits and pieces of our life :-)

and of course...
+ that green thumb inside the house finally!!!

So yeah, pretty simple but fingers crossed for it all getting done!
2016 is going to be epic!

Everyone brought food and drink to share. This was before most of the stuff arrived….

The kids were in the basement having a wonderful time!!

There was a quiet area for those who needed to chill!

And some dancing for the few who were inclined… yep that's A and her dad! She woke up from her nap at 5:30 so she was VERY rested and lasted for the first time ever until midnight.

Now for some dancing with mama….

And some 'champagne'- she drank hers out way before midnight. 

Our last family shot of 2015!

There was CONFETTI which I strongly suspect they will be finding until 2017!

Is this her dancing face?!

We left a bit after midnight and maybe the minute after we took off, this happened.

The next day was pretty low key until we headed to some more family's house in the pm. They have three girls so we just hung out, had a yum dinner (complete with veggies which we've all been lacking since December 2nd) and the girls (and maybe me) played Just Dance for five hours. 

Have a wonderful 2016, friends!! Mine involves moving and packing, some of which have started already… I'll be a bit scarce but popping in to say hi from time to time.
