Midweek Rewind

I would start off by complaining about the weather, but I think everyone is at this point in the game. I will say that I experienced the coldest I have been in, or at least recall experiencing.

They say temps haven't been this low since 1977, well that is before my time! A lot of the roads are closed as we have 10 foot snow drifts on a lot of roads about 20 minutes away! Mother Nature must be drunk! She should be sobering up by the end of the week! 

Today our new fridge and stove are being delivered!! 

Last night we had someone come over to look at tiling our bathroom and we are going forward with it, so we are heading out tonight to try to pick out tile, flooring and a bath tub and hopefully M can start that on Sunday while I am at my baby shower. 

Monday was low key, I refuse to leave the house in this weather. Just worked on crocheting the baby blanket - I'm 3/4's done. But I'm anxious to start a few other projects, as this one I can do while watching TV. 

Sunday started off with a waffle breakfast in our new wafflemaker we got for Christmas! It can make 2 at once!! 

Delicious!! 

Then M got started on some DIY projects. This one has been on my honey do list for a few years now. 

A console table/drink rail for behind the couch. Now we will have a safe place to put our drinks! More pics to come on the finished product as he stained it and everything!! 

Sunday we were dumped on with snow!! The dogs were loving it!! Little miss Lily thought I was calling her in, when really I just wanted to take her picture, so here you have her "but Mom I don't want to come in yet look"

Saturday we had a few guys come over and move our fridge downstairs. What a pain it has been operating with a fridge downstairs and the kitchen upstairs. Luckily that comes to an end today! I think both M and I have gotten a good stair work out as you seem to forget something you need when preparing a meal!

Then in the afternoon we ran into Home Depot to grab some supplies for various projects, including a railing for the stairs going up to the nursery, although it ended up too short. They only had 10 foot ones in the store, so we assumed it would work, but we need a 12 foot, which hopefully we will find tonight at Lowes. 

We changed the bedroom around as well on Saturday. It is back the way it used to be and of course the first night it's changed guess who had to get up 3 times for the first time in the middle of the night?? Oh ya that was me! But I didn't trip on the dogs, so we have progress in that department!! The bassinet is also in our room now, we figured we should introduce it now and let everyone get used to it and so far no one seems to care! But we also don't have bedding in it yet, so there is nothing drawing the cats to it yet! 

Friday I hit up a local fabric store to try to find material for quilting and came up empty handed. To the point I have decided to just make a duvet cover for the various crib comforter M and I had a children. Them we can at least use them! But I still didn't find fabric!! I have an idea in my mind, just haven't found it! I did find these fabrics though:

Not sure what I am going to make with it yet, but it was too cute to leave in the store!! I need to get cracking on the sewing projects!! 

That was one heck of a rewind, hard to believe it's Wednesday already! 

Happy Wednesday friends!! 

Weekend Rewind

Weekend One down without M around - one more to go! But we made the best of the weekend with the time we did have together!!

Friday night we had a Halloween Party to go to, M and I usually go with a couples costume and this year was no different! I have waited 4 years to dress up a pregnant belly!! A milestone we completed this weekend!

 

M was a chef and I was the oven

 

and Baby V was a BUN!

 

 

Although we weren't able to stay late, we were happy to be able to partake in the event!

 

M was up super early on Saturday and off to his fire training!

 

It was a cold, rainy and windy day. Not as windy as it was on Friday - that wind snapped my ornamental tree in my front garden! I am actually upset about this!

 

Back to Saturday - I luckily got dressed in the morning instead of staying in my jammies, because M's friend J stopped over with their dog and wanted M to go on walk with him. So I decided to go in his place, despite the dreary weather, I knew the dogs would love it! Luckily the rain held off while we were out! We had a nice visit. I was less than impressed when we arrived back at home to find Gracie in a damn mud puddle. What is with this dog and mud!?

 

I edited some photos, showered and got ready to go to little K's 2nd birthday! When M got home, he changed and we headed over right away as it was pretty much 6:30. We stayed and visited while she was opening presents and then headed out for dinner with M & J, just to the pub here in town, as they had not eaten either.

 

Sunday M was gone again super early. Of course the clocks all turned back, which took some adjustment, but I still managed to get a lot done around the house.

 

I finally finished the laundry and we no longer have a contamination room!! We have a laundry room again!!

 

The pets were reunited with their toys, Lily was happy to have her favorite toy back:

 

 

I popped into town to meet my sister to grab the fabric she had picked up from the post office in the US for me!

 

Then I finished editing a photo session, which I am always happy to have completed.

 

Dinner was on and when M got home, we took the dogs for a chilly walk while supper finished cooking. We managed to relax the rest of the evening.

 

Today I plan to make an infinity nursing scarf, now that my fabric is in:

 

 

And then I have a photo shoot this afternoon!

 

Remember to enter into my give away! You don't want to miss out!

Go HERE and enter! Please!

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

 

Marathon Shopping

I survived my first weekend away from my hubby, as well as my first 20 kilometer shopping weekend!! Hard to believe we covered 20 km in walking while shopping, but I definitely feel it!!

Before I left, I made M his favorite cookies, along with a sweet little note, however, I ran out of time leaving and didn't get a picture! I couldn't find my passport, M had in a place I would have never guessed! Then to top it all off, I forgot my socks and had to hand wash mine in the sink with shampoo/conditioner. Yup...

My weekend was great!! We left home around 5:30 and were in Buffalo by 7:30. We hit a few delays with traffic and a wait at the border. We hit a few places Friday night with some coupons! Like Joann's where I bought:

 

And then Kohl's where I bought the sweater. The shorts and chevron nightgown were from TJ Maxx on Saturday.

 

 

It was pretty rough going to sleep by myself!! I won't even lie about it!

 

 

I slept like crap, tossed and turned all night. Woke up to my bed looking like this:

 

 

Saturday we went to Hobby Lobby, where I bought:

 

 

And Target:

 

 

I just couldn't leave this in the store!! I think it will bring spring to the bedroom and chevron of course!!

 

I found these chevron blankets at Burlington Coat Factory:

 

 

We stocked up on hats and mitts as well!!

 

We had lunch at Chili's. It was great! Canada needs one, just sayin'!!

 

 

 

I also got this basket for the counter to put our mail in!!

 

 

 

We ate at The Cheesecake Factory for dinner!! It was great!!

 

I had an appetizer size ceaser salad and it was huge, I couldn't even finish it and I didn't react at all to the salad dressing!! Amy and I split a piece of chocolate cake to go. We were to full!!

 

Sunday we hit up the outlet malls

 

These are all from Old Navy obviously!

 

I got these skirts from Rue 21

 

The black and white one is a high/low skirt and the coral and black chevron is a maxi skirt!

 

I bought M 3 hats, and a few shirts as well, but I don't know where he put the hats.

 

Oh and I bought socks, but not until Sunday because I only like one brand of socks (Puma) and couldn't find the right ones anywhere. I finally broke down and tried them on and bought a bunch!

 

I got a lot of great deals and didn't really spend a lot! I only paid full price for the duvet cover, but I LOVED it and it was $40! I am a clearance/sale rack shopper.

 

The weather was amazing this weekend!! +18!!! Yes please!!

 

 Last night when I got home M and I watched Heartland... um season finale... ended like that? What?Not impressed!! Jack better be okay!! We enjoyed a soak in the hot tub and then I watched Kim and Courtney Take On Miami finale as well. I am watching the AMA's right now.

It's Spring!!!

The weather sure doesn't support the fact that it is Spring... But it's spring!!

I will be linking up again with my spring cleaning list, but first I want to share dome loves!!

Yesterday was a pretty awesome day! It involved shopping but not just at any store... TARGET!!! In Canada!! It was pretty awesome!! The most important things are the same like home decor and clothing!!

When I got home I found my fabric.com order on my porch!! I just ordered it and it came that quick!! Sooo impressed!!

I also received my dresses from Old Navy as well as my order from Babee producks!! How cute is this bag! Love the saying!!

It was a pretty awesome day!!

As far is the spring link up goes, here is my list for spring cleaning!! I found it on Pinterest:

Some of it is done all the time or already done!! But a good list!!

Happy Wednesday!!
