Charming.. country charm that is ;)

A close friend of mine (and Arbonne business partner) has recently started an Etsy business! Country Bows Boutique . 
Alyssa has been one of my best friends since highschool, and has always been super creative!! For the past year she has been making adorable bows for her 1 year old niece! 
She loves it so much she has started her business! She is building her inventory daily!!
Head on over to her Facebook Page or her Etsy Page and check it out!!

Code CUTE : Calling doctor Madison

Madison got her first doctors kit today!
Over the past few weeks Madison has become increasingly aware of the television and also about a certain show on Disney Junior called... DOC MCSTUFFIN. Doc is a young girl she is a doctor to stuffed animals and toys! In the morning we let Madison watch one episode while we are getting breakfast ready and now she knows when she gets down stairs.. she runs for the remote and says "doc" and a few seconds later "peeeaassss" (please). So a few days ago I decided to order the super cute Doc Mcstuffins Doctor Kit!!! 
Here she is minutes after getting it!

She had to check out her Bitty Baby


Makes me wonder if this one little gift will make her want to become a doctor ;)

Cold as Ice...

FREEEEZZZZING!
It is INSANELY cold outside.. and It is putting a serious damper on my running training.
I love the gym as much as the next person but 2 days in a row running on a treadmill is BORING!

Can it please warm up!

Thanks :)

new year, new theme ...

For 2013 I wanted a chalkboard theme.. so Until I find one I like this new black and yellow will have to do!
I have suddenly caught the chalkboard bug ... Trying to find out if I want to paint a chalkboard wall in our house or frame one. Thoughts??

Also since I am Canadian I can't let this post go by without saying .. HOCKEY IS BACK.. THANK YOU LORD! 

Please excuse Madison's messy hair!

December crazy-ness!

I know it is already JANUARY BUT I need to do a post about what happened during the wonderfully awesome month of December 2012!!!  Well since your all reading this blog I think its safe to say the world didn't come to end anywhere! December was a crazy month for us with the holidays and our trip to Canada to see my family!


Madison and I took our first flight ALONE with no help.. I was a nervous wreck because what was I going to do when she was screaming or how was I going to get through security alone!? Well all my worrying was a waste of time! Security was a breeze! They helped me get the stroller and bag on to the scanner machine and as for the actual flight (only 42min) Madison was as happy as clam :) 
Our flight was pretty empty so she spent most of the time running between me and window and taking out ALL of the papers in the seats! 

With Grandma
 Our first full day in Canada we went to Johnson Bros. Tree Farm to help Grandma and Opa get their Christmas Tree! It was Madison's first trip to Uncle Kerry's tree farm! While we were there we went on a horse and trailer ride! Madison LOVED when the horses would go a little faster down the hills!
On the ride!
Madison and Trigger
Madison and Opa checking out the machines!
 Madison was super lucky and got her Christmas Present early... a KITCHEN! She played with the kitchen from sun up til sun down! Thanks Uncle Brett for putting it together!
  
A few days into the trip Chris drove up to spend the rest of our vacation with us! During that time we went to a few of my brothers hockey games. He is #8 on the Ottawa 67s in the OHL.
Busy night at Scotia Bank Place

Madison and Uncle Ryan!
We spent lots of time with family and I was able to check out the Carrie Underwood concert with my best friend! And we were 3rd row!! WOW!!! That is all I can say. This was our 3rd time seeing Carrie Underwood and she doesn't disappoint!
Hunter Hayes and Carrie Underwood
Closing the show!

3rd row!!!
 When we got back from Canada my brother Ryan and his girl friend Emily came to visit! We spent a day in the city, shopping and visiting the tree.
Christmas eve was spent at my inlaws while my husband worked. Madison and Pop had matching aprons for cooking, as she got a kitchen at Mima & Pops house aswell!
It was the Christmas of Kitchens.. she got one at our house too.. Santa must want her to learn to cook ;)

ANWAYS! Here are just a few other pictures from Christmas :) Enjoy!
Chris and I at the "Christmas Story On Broadway"

twenty-thirteen..

Well folks.. its been awhile. We have been crazy busy to say the least. 
Madison is up and RUNNING everyone and saying EVERYTHING! We have to be care about what we say now because she likes to mimic (oh my!) 
So lets play catch up quickly.. 




I started my own business in November and it has been INSANE!! I love it! Its given me the chance to to drop a few shifts at my regular job and spend more time home with Madison! 

Chris is also super busy with work and has started studying for a test to be promoted :)

As for Madison.. she has been nicknamed "Madison the Menace" (yes thats a reference to my least favorite move - Denis the Menace". She had her 15 month check up yesterday and weighs 20.3lbs and is 30inches tall! Every girls dream.. light and tall!

I'm sure some of you are wondering about Christmas??
WELL...
I will do a christmas post this evening as my 20min of "alone" time while Madison ate her snack is over.. Check back tonight! 

One resolution this year is weekly blog posts!
