lately

-
It's been a while since I have done a lately post.. truth be told there has been a lot going on around here.. and I am still playing catch up.

D started pre k!


We have been making weekly trips to our library and reading all kinds of fun new books at bedtime.


H is growing and learning everything so fast.. he is becoming quite the trouble maker


This past month we had family visit and took a few fun day trips with them which I will hopefully share soon.. and spent a a few days at Niagara Falls.. details to come. Have you seen all the other places we have had the fortune of travelling too? Places We've Been

We are also getting started on a few more house projects.. M and I are DIYing one room while a contractor has been hired for another.. exciting times with a little frustration. Take a look back at some of our other house projects and my tips for hiring a contractor. Inside Our House


My in laws are in the process of making the transition to becoming a permanent part of our home. They spent the last five month with us and just left.. the house is quieter, emptier and feels incomplete.. most of all D lost his favorite play mate.. his dada.

I think pre K must be pre-school over here? I wish I could go back to those days, having one just leave for Uni I'm finding it all a bit scary! The photo of D with his Dada reminds me of my Grandad, the person I was closest to and spent so much of my childhood with. Good luck with the changes you have going on.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
