Picture a Day

So I was rummaging around in one if those cupboards that rarely ever gets opened and I came across this super old school cook book. I sat down with Joel and we had a good laugh at some of the suggestions they give for preparing a meal for your husband.

It suggested setting your table and begin preparing your dinner/dessert right after you finish doing the breakfast dishes. Also keep in mind the shape and colour of the food you are preparing, you want to create interest on your dinner plate.

I wonder if my kids would be better eaters if I had complimentary shapes and colours.

Here's the book. Its copyright date is 1964. Thanks mom!

Night on the town!

So the last Saturday of every November we attend joel's work Christmas party. It's always at the Hollyburn Golf and Country Club in West Vancouver. Truthfully I usually dread it. It's a long drive, a late night, and I am always so cold! Anyway, tonight is different. We dropped the kids off at my parents at noon and spent the afternoon shopping! We are also staying the night at the Pinnacle Hotel on the Quay. It's the perfect little getaway this tome of year!
I found these fabulous shoes today while shopping and had to get them. They are so comfy!

Hello snow!

I love snow days!

Okay, I should clarify. I love a snow day here and there. Days of being stranded at home because of the snow is no fun at all. But yesterday was a great day! So beautiful! Here are a couple of the kids. Now back to the rain...

Two today!

Oh snowy night...


Dinner for the kids and I, pizza bagels.

Snow and such

A picture a day is really hard! I do actually take a lot of pictures, almost everyday. It's the dowloading and the uploading and the re-sizing etc. that is rather time consuming. So you may just keep getting stuck with iPhone pics. Anyway, today I was going through some family pictures and found this cutie of Connor playing in our teeny tiny bit of snow.




It sure has been chilly these past few days, and I've been really trying hard to catch up on my running that I missed last week due to being sick. Today I ran a lovely 8km in Bradner in very sub zero temperatures. I have 6 weeks left to run 62 more miles to make it to my 500 mile goal.

One last bit of random information... did you know that if you put Vicks Vapo rub on the bottom of your feet and then put on a pair of socks right before bed you won't cough at night? I know, crazy huh? I was told to try it and since I've been taking a super strong cough medicine with codeine every night for the past 4 nights I would try it. So last night the vapo rub went on. I won't say I didn't cough, but considering I wasn't taking the strong stuff, I think it did work pretty well!

much love

A snowy drive

This was actually taken a couple of days ago, but thought it was still appropriate since we still have cold temps and a bit of snow.

Beautiful boots at Zara. So sad they didn't have my size.
