Wine Festival


A group of us ladies get together once a month to chit-chat, drink & enjoy great food. 
There is no better place for a ladies night than a Wine Festival.
Dress up and indulge in wine, cheese & chit-chat.
It was a night full of fun had by all!

Ugly Xmas Sweater Party

One of our neighbors hosted an Ugly Xmas Sweater Party
Not only did we have to attend dressed in appropriate attire,
but we had to decorate or bring an original drinking glass.


The creative ladies of the night. 
Everyone put in a great effort.

Jason had a great sweater and
I had the perfect sized drinking glass.

Between a Rink, a Barn & a Pool

Weekends are busy in our household, not much different I'm sure, than most.
We are off to the rink EVERY Saturday & Sunday morning for Braxton's hockey practice.
October - December both kids had swimming lessons on Sunday morning.
Once a month, Bella's Pony Club has barn day on a Sunday from 1 - 4 pm.
Needless to say, this leaves just enough time for laundry, a glass of wine and a hot bath.
It's ok to be busy, I like it.  For two reasons.
1. When kids are busy, they are happy.  Happy kids = Happy Mom
2. When kids are busy, they behave. Kids with good behavior = Happy Mom

Each year Scotiabank has it's annual "Best of the Best" Event.

YAY for the stay-at-home mom who went back to work 2 years ago!
