weekend snapshots

why, hello everyone! yes, i am still around and kicking!

my beloved macbook died on me so i haven't been able to blog

i'm most upset about the fact that i didn't back up the photos stored on there

a hard lesson learned on my part!
but regular posting will be back this week...promise!

the past weekend was quite busy!

finally got a chance to try meat and bread

hubs got the bacon maple ice cream sandwich

wish i had ordered myself one! it was scrumptious!

spotted these at the dollar store and had to buy them!

loved these when i was a kido!

worked another lovely wedding over the weekend

(full post to come later!)

the lovely love day gift my hubs got for me

beeped at me asking "want to get out there?"

i pressed "ok"... how can i not?

made some panko breaded chicken

made some chicken tinola-- filipino comfort food

chicken, papaya,spinach, ginger and garlic stew

what was your weekend filled with?

girly goodness

 i will be the first to admit that i am a "girly girl"

i love clothes and shoes and bags

i love looking at clothes and shoes and bags

i love shopping for clothes and shoes and bags

(maybe a little too much!)

and what happens when a girly girl has daughters?!?!

well, oh me oh my!

the clothes and shoes just get smaller and cuter!

here are my girls

who thankfully don't mind having a mama that loves to dress them up!

when they were babies

 i dressed them any which way i wanted

now that they are growing up

 they are starting to have a say in what they want to wear

pia loves blue and loves to dress in blue clothes

zoe loves pink, sparkles and anything "fancy"

they both pretty much live in dresses and skirts

neither of them like pants or jeans

claiming that it's "tight on their bellies"

which i don't mind at all
because let's face it, skirts and dresses are way cuter than pants and jeans!

 

i really have to control myself and not buy them every cute thing i see

but it sure is hard! ha ha

are you a girly girl?

what's your weakness? shoes, bags? or both?!?!

this past weekend was filled with

a sweet treat from marble slab! have you ever tried marble slab?

it's only the best concept ever--your choice of ice cream with your choice of toppings mixed right in!

my husband got me an early v-day gift

i used it over the weekend but i am so not a techy person

so i have to learn how to really use it instead of always bugging him to do it for me! haha

we enjoyed some homemade waffles made by awesome husband

celebrated a sweet girl's baptism

hopped on over to target

to check out the jason wu collaboration

indulged in some yummy thai food

what was your weekend filled with?

sister support

 my baby sister and my middle sister

 are currently training for the BMO marathon

it's my baby sis' first marathon and my middle sis' second marathon

training for a marathon is hard work

it's 42.195 kilometres or 26 miles and 385 yards of continuous running

it will take a person on average between 4-5 hours to complete

like i said hard work

so because i am the most awesomest sister

i will be right there cheering them on

i have already started brain storming for the perfect sign

i think i like the cookie one the best

which one is your favorite?

any other suggestions?

weekend snapshots: l+j tie the knot!

this past weekend was filled with

photobooth fun

a rare photo of hubs and me

yummy cake

vintage inspired decor

sister photo ops

lots of love!

all because our good friends tied the knot

it was double duty for me: wedding coordinator/guest

i don't know what it is about weddings

the speeches, yummy food, the beautiful bride

but i never ever get tired of weddings

what was your weekend filled with?

TGIF

 thank goodness it's friday!

where has this week gone ?

last night, i was just thinking to myself: i have to prep wednesday's blog post

 but it's not wednesday it's friday

whoops!

some random happenings over the past week:

zoe has been learning about penguins in school and will randomly spout off penguin facts

it's super cute and it shows what an amazing job her teacher(s) are doing

i am really into polka dots as of late,

it pretty much started because of this lovely dress

and has just gotten out of control

i purchased zoe and pia's flower girls dresses from here

they are having an amazing sale

their sale stuff is on sale

so i got zoe and pia's dresses for like 75% off

i just love when that happens!

zoe eats super super slow

i have to learn to be more patient with her especially in the mornings

now i'm off to do some laundry and prep for a wedding i have tomorrow

happy friday everyone!

this past weekend was filled with

a flat tire! i have no idea how to change a flat

so i had to call my husband

(who had just got home from a night shift and probably only slept for two hours)

and he came to my rescue

next on my to do list: learn how to change a flat tire!

lots of snow!

which resulted in a snow day which meant zoe got a day off from school

the girls played and played in the snow for hours!

pink cheeks and hot chocolate

after spending hours playing in the snow

the girls warmed up with some hot chocolate and laughed at their pink cheeks

exclaiming, "it's like we are wearing makeup!"

bought my first pair of swedish hasbeens

at 50% off too! (whoop whoop!)

made some brussel sprouts and pia really, really likes them!

lunch at our favorite sushi joint
