Donut Party

For National Donut Day on Friday. my Mom’s group planned a little Donut Party for the kiddos okay let’s get real, the donuts were for us, but it was fun to watch the kids play. Plus we got to indulge in Donuts, coffee, milk and chicken minis! 
Ps. Hallie had the perfect outfit for the occasion!
Here’s the awesome part! My group is full of the BEST most THOUGHTFUL and most SUPPORTIVE women I know.  Last week was a particularly rough week for me.  On top of getting some pretty unfortunate and unsettling news, I broke my toe. Fun right? 
Here’s what my friends did to cheer me up… 
 I still can’t get over how wonderful my friends are! 
Hallie and Buddy Luna were cracking me up! They decided to separate themselves from the boys! As the only 2 girls that could make it it’s like they were saying “The skirts play in here”, and they isolated themselves in Luna’s room!
Luna was cracking me up with this phone! 

That phone again! So funny!
Hallie would not stop playing with this doll house! Guess she needs one for her birthday!

Did you celebrate National Donut Day? Tell me How!

Fun in the Sun

It has been quite some time since Hallie has been in the pool, so when we finally got some sun this week here in Big D, I decided to hightail it over to my parent’s house to take Hallie swimming.  
Hallie’s 1st pool experience

First of all, you know you truly love your child when you expend all of your energy blowing up a giant puppy pool for them, Just sayin…

Watching Momma get everything ready
She see’s the pool
She of course refused to get in the puppy pool, but enjoyed playing on the step with momma

Finally after a break and a nap and with some encouragement from cousin Matthew, the Puppy Pool was a hit!

 After swimming, the whole family went outside and shared a nice meal.  It was so great to spend some time together!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Who What When Where Why Wednesday with Sarita

Hello Friends! I am back with “Who, What, When, Where, Why Wednesday”. Today I have Sarita from It’s My Girls World Answering all of my questions! 

I love reading all about Sarita and her family! Especially her 2 cute strong little girls! Talk about Girl Power! 
Here’s what I know about Sarita and her blog: 



1. Who?- Who are you? Tell my readers a
bit about yourself

I’m Sarita and I blog over at it’s my girls world. I’m the mama of
two sweet strong girls- ages 6 and almost three and the wife to one very
special boy. I left the corporate world a couple years ago and have very
happily never looked back. There’s some part time consulting that I do still
but more than that my days are filled with my sweet (and oft’ sassy girls).


2- What?- What do you Blog about?
I’m a baker, recipe changer, MBA- er ( that rhymes,
no?),  fitness seeker, clean eater (most days), ex-marketer, sale
hunter, malbec lover and  almost world traveller.
I blog about it all as well as the random happenings in our everyday
life. 

  3. When?- When did you start blogging?
I started to blog in January 2013-
so I’m just getting over the newbie phase.
4.  Where? –Where do you live?
Born and raised in the tiny
Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago but I’ve been living in Canada for
almost 11 years. Whenever I’m coming back from TNT, I can’t decide if I’m
leaving or coming back home. The struggle is real, my friends.
 5. Why?- Why did you decide to blog
I decided to blog as a way to  document the little stuff from our daily
lives. My then three year old was saying all this cute stuff and my baby was
growing and I would forget  all the tiny
stuff. It’s so much more than that to me now though. I started this blog to document the lives of our girls but it’s become
so much more than that. Sure I share many snippets of our life, but I also
share my philosophies, tips and tricks, recipes and all sorts of other stuff.
My blogging friends have become a part of my life as well and I love hearing
all the sweet comments from everyone. 
I also asked Sarita some fun random questions to get to know her better:
What is your favorite book of all
time?
Books are like my kids. It’s too hard to chose my favourite
one…. Well most days anyways, haha!  I do
have a favourite author- Elin Hilderbrand and I wait with bated breath for her
new release every June and reread her other stuff every summer. If you’re a fan
of Emily Griffin, you’d like her!

What is the most important lesson you
want to teach your girls?
To be strong but sweet, fierce but kind, smart but
empathetic. Women rock and I’m so blessed to be able to mold these two.

 If you could go anywhere in the
world, where would you go?
To Greece, or maybe back to Italy but this time to the Amalfi
coast. I adore Europe.

  What is your favorite thing about
summer?
I just love how spirits soar in the summer. And the heat!!!
Canada is cold almost 9 months of the year!! ( I guess your next question would
be then why the heck did I leave Trinidad)

 Which Celeb’s closet would you want
to raid?
Diane Kruger. So chic!

Thank you  sweet Kelly for having me here and for always
keeping up with us over at it’s my girls’ world.


Thank you Sarita! It was so fun getting to know you a little better! 
Happy Wednesday!

Painting with a Twist

For my birthday, my best friend Joyce gifted us a session at Painting with a Twist! I was so excited because I had been wanting to try it for the longest time, but also because it meant some quality time with my best friend!

Auntie Katie came over to watch Hallie and Joyce, our bottle of wine and I went to lunch and then off to paint!

It’s pretty awesome! When you get there, you find a station with an apron, a water cup and paintbrush and easel with prepped artwork and the paint colors you will be using. Joyce and I poured our wine, took a few selfies and then waited to get started!

The class stared off with a toast which was super cute! Then the instructor walked us through painting bit by bit!

 I am really no artist, especially when it comes to paint, but they both turned out great, and I just can’t wait to go back!

Thank you Joycie for such a fun gift! Spending time together was really the best!

Football Friday

Friday night, Christopher’s Dad treated us to an Arena Football game.  I had never been to arena football, but it was actually super fun, and Hallie really loved it!
She had a blast searching for the Mascot, Alamo and really loved the half time show! 
During half time, they had 2 Australian Shepherds doing tricks and she couldn’t take her eyes off of them! It was so cute! 
I couldn’t resist stadium popcorn! 

When Alamo got close, she would get SO excited! 

Then we got close to Alamo…she was not having it! 

 Hope everyone had a great weekend! Saturday I had a girls day with my best friend Joyce! Stay tuned tomorrow to hear about what we did!

Happy Monday,
Kelly
