- I want to take the time to thank three amazing bloggers for some award nominations. Valerie, Cheila and Tami nominated me for the Liebster, Cramm and Blogger Recognition Award respectively. I haven’t had time to post yet, but I’m working on them!
- I just realized that Elliot hit the 9 month mark yesterday. How did that happen?
- Today, we’ve got a packed morning. We’re in need of changing the windows to our house so my husband and I are going window shopping (quite literally ha!) after driving the kids to daycare.
- Tomorrow is Elliot’s 9 month well visit. I really love his doctor (who’s actually not a pediatrician but my GP). She’s fantastic and has taken Charles and Amélie as well. I am very happy because I’ve never been satisfied with the previous pediatrician.
- Last weekend, Charles went to a sugar shack with my sister and her boyfriend. He slept over at her place on Friday evening, then, the next day, took the subway and a coach bus to get there. He was ecstatic because he loves the guy so much!
Hard to tell who’s happiest to be there! - I just ordered a steam mop to replace the Swiffer and traditional mop we have. I am ridiculously excited over the purchase and can’t wait to try it out. I’m certain it’ll make my life a lot easier.
- On Sunday I ran my first transition run. Considering I ran twice as long as I should have by accident, it went really well. I was following the advice to run at 180 strides per minute, but will have to tone it down as it is too quick to be a sustainable pace for me currently. I have to say though, my calves were on fire yesterday and they’re still sore today. I’m eager to see how today’s run will go.
Notice the funky shape of the shoes? That’s what makes them so comfortable! No more scrunched up toes. - I’m not sure what I want to eat for supper tonight. What are you guys eating?
- I had my first taste of matcha tea on Sunday. It was peach-flavoured, it was iced and it was yummy! I’m seriously considering buying some to make at home.
- Over the weekend, we went to the library to get some new books. I’m so happy because I’m rediscovering my love of reading. I picked up the second tome of the Deathnote manga. What are you currently reading?
What’s on your mind this Tuesday? Feel free to comment of link up to a random thought post of your own!

New mops are awesome! Save the old mop handle to use for Broomstick Lace Crochet!!! Tonight is going to be what I call ‘gross dinner night’ Hubby and daughter love sloppy joes – FROM A CAN! I have tried to make a healthier home made sloppy joe recipe but they outright rejected it. So I throw my hands in the air – fix them their slop – and plop some salad on their plate so I will be able to sleep tonight. On the plus side – easy dinner prep tonight! 😀
Gross dinner night – hehehe. I’ve never even eaten sloppy joes. I should probably try eventually. Easy dinner prep is always a good thing though!
Ok I admit it – it’s gross but I like it too, fortunately we only have gross dinner night once every couple of months. Hamburger Helper anyone? That one I CANNOT get behind!! 😀
Oh my Godddd la face et le regard de Charles sont priceless!
Je sais, il est tellement heureux dans son coeur!
Aww, that photo of Charles is so sweet! 🙂
And those shoes – how interesting!!
I hope his appointment goes well, Elizabeth’s 9 month visit is next Wed. I know, I can’t believe it’s been that long already since their births!
I made a new barbeque chicken last night, it was fantastic and I’ll be making it frequently, it was so easy and good. 😀
I’m reading a cozy mystery, some books on cognitive behavioral therapy, and a few on happiness. 😉
He loves my sister’s boyfriend so much! The appointment did go well, thanks. And yes, times flies, I’m seriously in shock.
