Look At All The Pretty Colours

I haven’t had much time for bloggin’ the past few days, since we’ve been fixin’ up the house. It’s been hard getting any work done over the past few days….what with my injuries. Carlos has been doing most of it…but I’ve made a damn good supervisor! I am feeling better…still a little [...]

Not Tonight Honey…I’ve Got A Knee-Ache

I am battered and bruised. I took a fall today…and I feel like a big tool!
My mother arrived this morning and is staying for the week, and Carlos took the week off work. So this week is all about working on the house to get it ready for sale, while my mom tries [...]

My Meme Monday

I was recently tagged for a meme…and I figured Monday was the perfect day to do it.
Lene from Families Are Like Fudge and Jenny from Absolutely Bananas tagged me for a meme to list 10 things that make me happy. So here we go!

My beautiful little family! I love my three guys!

Dinner With Good Friends

Last night we went to dinner with friends of ours who we haven’t seen in too long. They invited us over for a fabulous steak dinner, complete with homemade apple crisp. It was such a nice visit.
Instead of getting a babysitter, we brought the boys with us. They’ve changed so much since [...]

A Shameless Plug

My sister-in-law (Carlos’ lil’ sis) and a mutual friend recently quit their jobs to go into business together…so I’m gonna use my blog to spread the word a little, just in case anyone in the Ottawa area is reading.
They bought a meal assembly franchise called SupperWorks. The basic concept is that they do the [...]

Trying Something New

Okay…so I was getting pretty tired of the old template. I’m not really one for busy backgrounds on blogs…I find them distracting. I decided on the other template because….well….I just needed some colour or something.
But that template is now, and forever, retired here at A Beautiful Life. On to bigger, better, [...]

The Perils Of Pablo

For his second birthday, Zander received a Sing N Spin Pablo from his aunt and uncle. Being an avid fan of the Backyardigans, this gift was a huge hit…after he got over his fear of a moving, walking, talking, dancing Pablo, of course.
That fear has now returned. This afternoon, Zander’s new friend turned [...]

‘Tis The Season Of Sunburns And Blisters

Today was the perfect weather to play outside…if you aren’t allergic to sun. According to Environment Canada, the UV index was 8, or high. Not good. But the kidlets needed to get outside, so outside we went.
Knowing that we would be heading out of doors as soon as Carlos got home from [...]

Hooray For Poop!

Isn’t “poop” the greatest word in the world…when it’s your two-year old saying it?
Zander said “poop” for the first time last night, which in itself was a great accomplishment. I mean, he’s heard that word daily since he was born…and he finally decided to say it.
But the circumstances in which he deemed fit to [...]

This Is SO Not Me!

This blog is not me. The look of it, I mean.
I’m not a boring person….although some of you who read my blog on a regular basis may beg to differ.
I think I’m pretty unique….I’m fun….I love to laugh, and to make people laugh…I can be quite the entertainer at times….
My husband says I’m melodramatic, [...]
