Let's go for a walk!

Well it looks like Spring is here again! The snow (the tiny bit we got last week) is all gone and it was +4C today! I was babysitting Kylen today so I decided that we needed to get outside and take advantage of the sunshine. So we went for a walk!

I am so in love with this picture that I captured on my iPhone. Two buddies going for a stroll! I hear that it's snowing tonight so we will see if it gets cold enough for the snow to last!

Tayven and I have a Pirate Party to go to at the Expressway Family Centre on Saturday! We are so excited!! And I am really hoping to take him for a swim sometime this weekend too!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes!

I have to start out by once again thanking Pinterest for this! I found this great recipe and made these cupcakes for my Usborne party that I had on Saturday.

This is how my cupcakes turned out:

They were probably the best cupcakes I have ever tried! Yum! Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal is my absolute favorite cereal, it has been since I was a kid, so that may have something to do with why I loved them so much. You can find the recipe here. My cupcakes didn't turn out as pretty as hers but they still tasted delicious!

Is winter here finally?

This week has been fairly cold. We are finally getting our typical Canadian winter temperatures. Yesterday morning when I checked the temperature out it was -39C with the windchill and today it was -40C! Much colder than what we've had this winter so far. There is also (some) snow! 

Tayven and I are going to have a quiet day at home and clean and bake to prepare for the Usborne books party that I'm hosting Saturday! I have to run outside and see how my boy, Dually, is handling this cold weather. 

Smile!

I just had to share this picture of my happy, handsome little man! He sure loves to smile and have fun.

I've spent some time today planning the little Usborne party that I am hosting on Saturday for my cousin Kirstin.  She just started selling Usborne books so I thought I would help her out by hosting her first party, plus I can get some free books for Tayven out of the deal! ;) I have some great desserts picked out for a snack and my regular punch that I make for everything (and love). I'll share some pictures and recipes after the party's done!

It is finally winter here! Well minus the snow... it snowed a little bit but nothing like we are used to.

Sock bun curls!

I was recently introduced to Pinterest! If you don't already know about it I warn you that it's very addicting! I have found SO many great ideas on there. The most recent thing that I have tried from there is the sock bun curls. It's super easy to do and is very hair-friendly because it requires no heat. This was my first time trying this so it didn't turn out perfect, but here is my results:

Here is the sock bun curls tutorial that I followed! Give it a try!

The weather has cooled off a little bit the last couple days, back to closer to normal temps, but still no snow!

1st blog post!

This is my first blog! Please be patient as I try and figure this all out....

Well 2012 is here!! This is going to be such a great year for our family! Getting married, moving, and a trip to Mexico.. just to name a few.

The weather has been crazy here this winter! Way warmer than usual and no snow. It has snowed a bit but we keep getting crazy warm weather that melts it all. The other day it was +9ish! I personally love all the seasons that Canadian weather offers so I am missing the snow. Although, we bought a horse at the end of November so this nice weather makes it much easier to spend time with Dually, which my horse-loving son LOVES!

My car isn't running and both Tayven and I have a cold so we are spending a quiet day at home. We are looking forward to Fear Factor tonight though! ;)

 I am going to post a picture from Dad's birthday (January 7th) since I didn't have this blog up and running then.
