This and That

My oh my! What a week, I was prepping for the wedding I shot this Sunday. I was so nervous (naturally) but everything went smoothly. It was so nice to see all the family pour their hearts out during speeches, the first dance and all those sweet moments that make up a wedding. Other then that the last week was a blur. Now that I am back to my normal pace, I will finishing up the last touches on the painting and figuring out a new layout for our furniture. Also I will be editing pictures from the wedding whenever I get the chance. I will post about them as I go. They are announcing rain all week, which is perfect because I have so much stuff to do and I don't wanna be stuck staring out the window to a blue sky. Anyone else craving fish tacos? Thinking of making some this week! 

Here is a song for your Tuesday, 

wherever you may be

enjoy!

Mother

''My mother wanted us to understand that the tragedies of your life one day have to potential to be the comic stories the next." 

— Nora Ephron

This quote always reminded me of my mom. She would always say: "You'll be laughing about this in a few day's" (or sometimes weeks, months - depending on the severity of the given issue). This often seemed like the worst advice in the world growing up. Because as a teenager one could never EVER imagine laughing about the curling iron burn on ones forehead... or the boy who never called back. The funny thing is I always did end up laughing about it. No matter the situation there came a time when I could chuckle at how huge a very tiny issue felt . And so when life throws me across the room with embarrassment or doubt or pain, I try and remind myself that I'll be laughing about this in a few days.

Happy Mother's day to all the kick-ass mommas out there!

Windows down

Last weekend we took a drive to visit my aunt. The weather was great, so we rolled down the windows, listened to some music and felt like a million bucks! It really is all about the small things sometimes. On the way back we stopped at dairy queen :) I had my first summer cone! Plans for this week are to finish painting the apartment. So hard with all this warm weather! But my motivation is to post an awesome before and after on the blog. I went to a church garage sale on Saturday and found some cool finds. Will also post about it soon! P.S My grand-mothers Boston always looks sad but in the cutest way, it cracks me up!

Cheers to warm weather. 

This and That

Sometimes it only takes a few days of sunshine to make you a believer... Summer truly is the best season of them all. I have not posted in about two weeks. Busy bee here! I have been rushing around painting my apartment, preparing tax return papers (ugh!) and trying to get a little spring cleaning in when I can. I have also been working out and I feel great. I sleep so much better when I have done some physical activity during my day! Here are a few shots from the last week or so. I got a new bag, white paint for the walls, mom's 4th grade ceramic project and I found this awesome tin for 75 cents! 

Hope you are all getting some sunshine where ever you may be :) 

Fun Finds: Spring II

Over the last few weeks we have been trying to negotiate the possibility of a move. We found out over the weekend that it was not going to happen. I was disappointed, but I do believe things always happen for a reason. This led me to the understanding that sometimes, no matter how bad you want something, you can't have it all. We have decided to stay in our current apartment. I have shifted my thoughts over to re-vamping this old place. I saw this awesome cart from IKEA and fell in love, the colour and shape are perfect! I am going to splurge on this one. Here a few Fun Finds from this week! I love this lamp from Target. They are opening their Canadian doors this June and I am very excited.
