Avoiding puddles

I am officially on the hunt for a new pair of boots! In addition to the hole they are sporting near the sole that left my sock soaked last week, I didn't realize someone decided to snack on them!

Unfortunately, stores don't seem to be stocking knee-high black boots anymore. Guess I will be waiting til fall and searching for some cute spring pumps!

If anyone finds some cheap black pull-ons with a fair heel, in the Edmonton arae, shoot me a message!

Recovery

Excuse the awful shot. Exhausted! That's how I feel today. Last night was pretty trying.

Our poor little girl was pretty out of it last night. We spent most of the evening trying to convince her just to lie down and go to sleep. She wasn't buying it though...

Obviously, she's pretty sore and just wanted comfort. She desperately wanted to lay on the couch with her momma, but since it wasn't good for her to jump up, I spent a good portion laying on the floor, until my legs fell asleep from a heavy puppy laying on them.

I'm admittedly a little squeamish when it comes to blood so checking her incision is hard. Administering her pain meds is awful but necessary. Watching my poor puppy wince and cry cause she's moving too hard or too much makes my heart hurt.
Trying not to laugh when she gets stuck sideways in her kennel because the cone she's wearing round her head is caught in the grooves, is sooo hard.
But knowing that this little girl bolted past dad this morning to catapult herself onto our bed, just so she could snuggle in, next to me and forgo an early morning potty break, melts my heart!

Mama's girl

This little bear is at the vet today getting spayed. I'm not gonna pretend it doesn't break my heart and make me nervous. I've only ever had boys so I wasn't prepared for an invasive surgery. Nor apparently was I prepared for the cost...

Yikes! Big dogs cost a lot! Holy mackrel.

Anyhow, I'll be making sure this little girl is comfortable tonight and maybe setting up a little crafting so she can sleep underfoot.
Enjoy your day!

Sometimes you just wanna sparkle....

however, usually the feeling of confort prevails.  On those days, I'll be reaching for this comfy new Calvin Klein hoodie!

I picked it up super cheap last weekend at The Bay and will be wearing it EVERYWHERE!

I love when casual clothes are a little "fancified" (yes, that's the technical term) so that I can get away with wearing them outside the house or gym!

(excuse the awkward boob shot)

Here's hoping your day has a little sparkle in it!  Happy Monday!

Home Scents(y)

Back in November, I was working a very slow craft fair and in order to keep my boredom from setting in, I wandered around and perused all the other booths' offerings.  That is where I decided to try this Scentsy deal I kept reading about on blogs.

Being newer to Canada, I hadn't really even seen them before that show, but I could definitely SMELL them that day and fell in love with the scent wafting through the church that day, so I wandered over and after a good couple hours with a catalogue and the sample scents, picked out a combo for myself.

When it arrived a few weeks later, I was excited at how big the warmer actually was.  Unfortunately, that meant it wouldn't work in the room I had purchased it for - the powder room.  Since we had eliminated the towel bar and were working with a towel stand in front of the plug in, there wasnt much space nor did I like the idea of anyone getting electrocuted.

So it was moved to the living room instead and I am pleased to say I LOVE IT!! 

 First of all, I chose a neutral white warmer, so it works very nicely with our decor.  

My absolute favorite thing about it is obviously that it is NOT  a candle!! With a dog and 2 cats, candles are always something we really have to watch around here.  Plus, I don't have to worry about changing out the candles when we have a party or anything. 

I also really love the scents I chose:

Coconut Lemongrass is light and refreshing. 

Perfect for having a big group over cause it's not too overpowering.

Paradise Punch is fun and fruity.  I like this one for when we're just chillaxing, watching a movie or when I have the girls over.

Blueberry Cheesecake is a great scent but really strong.  This was nice during the winter months when I wanted to curl up in front of the fire and read while Cory was at work.  I only ever use one block at a time, and you could even split 1 block in half with this scent.

I love that when I want to change scents, all I do is pour the melted wax back into it's container, wipe out any residual with a papertowel and pop in a new block.

I did just notice on the website that they do have wall plug-ins, so I may have to snag one for the powder room that was my original plan.

If you use a Scentsy, please let me know what YOUR favorite scents are.  I am always looking for suggestions, as it was hard to smell and the samples and not start to think they all smelled the same!

Have a great Sunday!

Favorite Things: March Edition

I thought it might be nice to do a fun feature of some of my absolute favorite things each month.

One might wonder how it's possible to compile a list of "favorites" each month, but I think it's easy... I'm fickle like that...

Anyhow here's what I am loving currently:

Coach Poppy Signature Sateen Glam Lurex Tote is my newest bag and latest love!  It's HUGE!  In addition to my wallet, keys, cellphone, makeup bag and gum, I can fit my gym clothes, lunch and random papers in here.  I could probably also cart my laptop around if I wanted to as well!  Plus, in silver, it stands out a lot more than everyone's black bags.  Everyone stops me to comment on it!

Pumped up Kicks by Foster the People This catchy little tune is ALWAYS playing on my computer... at work, at home and when I get my ipod fixed or buy a new one, in my car!  Love the whistling, love the tune, love the cuties in the video! 

Princess House Appetizer Plates  These little babies are constantly in rotation at our house.  The perfect size for absolutely any snack, they sit in their caddy on my countertop and we can't wash them fast enough!  Not available in stores, you can only get these from a Princess House consultant.  In the Edmonton area?  THAT WOULD BE ME!!  Shoot me an email if you want to order these, or any other products!!  :)

Old Navy Sweetheart Bootcut Jeans  I have been on the search for some new jeans for a really long time.  I used to always shop at Gap Kids, then they went and stopped making their jeans with lycra in them, which is just stupid - kids (and smaller adults) need some stretch.  Plus, it helps retain shape in demin....  Anyhow, I resigned myself to the Adults section today, and tried these babies on.  Couldn't whip my debit card out fast enough!

This cute Calvin Klein top I can't find on their website, but I snagged off a polyvore site somewhere and then lost the website.... oops.  I picked this up, on sale today at The Bay.  It's very forgiving, if say you haven't been to the gym in almost 2 months... or something like that!

So yeah, those are 5 things I am loving right now.  How about you?  Anything you're loving lately?

share!  I'd love to hear!

Happy Friday!

Hope ur all enjoying your day. Help yourself to a slice of the delicious chocolate cake I made!

Brought it to work today to share with the gang, it's sitting here on my desk tempting me with it's sweet smelling French Vanilla icing.

We're headed to the casino tonight with some friends, essentially to hear a good band play, but I'm sure we'll be trying our chances and venturing out onto the floor. I'm a blackjack girl myself so fingers crossed I can maybe do some winning tonight so I can do some shopping tomorrow while cory's working! :)

I have a couple gift cards burning a whole in my wallet, so I am heading out tomorrow to see if I can find some good house finds.

Have a great one!
