Call Me Maybe

Today was my last week day off with my girls.

Well, at least until next Friday which is a holiday.

: )

Monday I'll be back to work.

Yikes.

We have had such a fun spring break week! 

Just hanging out, going bowling,

farmers market, playing,

and DANCING!

We loved the similar video that the Bieber fella and his friends

did to this song so we decided to do our own version.

It was so much fun!

I have no idea when I will find the time to blog

but I promise I will try to pop up now and then!

Have a great weekend, sweet peas!

Fill in the Blank Friday

Hey sweets!

I hope you had a great week.

My girls just started spring break so I am

looking forward to sleeping in 

*slightly* next week!

After next week my days will be

looooooong, since I 

got a job!!

I will be up at *gulp* 5am.

Not sure how I'll handle that again.

It's been a while since I've had to get up that early

let alone 5 days in a row every week.

oh boy.

I'm happy and sad to go back.

Will miss being at home and having time with my 

sweet girls.

But I am looking forward to being around adults

and being downtown with all the action!

haha...

Ok lets fill in some blanks with Lauren.

1.  My favorite color is  purple.

2.   My home decor color palette includes   beige walls, cherry accents, touches of colour here and there including greenery.

3.  Other people always tell me I look good in the color  red. I like it too, any bright colour, really!

4. The color I detest is  dusty rose.  It looks awful on my skin tone, like AWFUL people!  

5. If you were to look in my closet most of the colors you'd see would be   lots of navy and gray with green, coral, red, yellow, intermingled.

6. A color that I simply cannot pull off no matter how hard I try is   Oh oops, I answered this in number 4.  Good ole dusty rose.  And some yellows I can't pull off either.  Some are good, some aren't.

7.  The color of my favorite dress is I like white and I have a new one with different shades of purple that I love.

Have an awesome weekend, guys and gals!

Follow me - somehow!

Hey peeps.

So my google friend connect isn't working.

Mine should work still, right?

Only non-blogger sites

won't work is how I read it.

Yet mine isn't working anyway.

Soooo.....

I need to figure that out.
It's like hide and seek in bloggy land right now.
How do I find my fave blogs?
Where did they go?
Where did my followers go?
Now you see me....

...now you don't!
If you'd like an alternative,

you can now follow 

*sweet pea*

Just click the little widget over on the left.

I'm there, baby.

And while we are at it,
I am now on Instagram!
Just getting my sea legs on that one.
Find me if you like at
sherisweetpea.

I really need to figure out this Google+ stuff too.

Why oh why must they change things?!

If you know any good tips or tricks

with all of these changes going on,

let me know!

I love me some jewelry

Did you know that I LOVE jewelry?
haha..don't we all, right girls?!

I {not so} subtly suggested to my hubby that he needed to buy me

a giant jewelry box for my last birthday.

He did and I love it.

All my pretty things laid out so beautifully.

I also have a coat rack type thingy

in my closet that holds my necklaces, belts and scarves.

I have to show you some new jewelry I got

courtesy of my wonderful Australian friend, Loulou

of Here I am Loulou.

She makes gorrrrgeous jewelry.

She had a giveaway recently on her blog and I won this necklace!!

Gorgeous, right?  It's actually a locket!
How cool is that?
Here's me wearing it, happily. ; )

The top of the necklace is black ribbon.
I just adore it.
The bracelet I am wearing was from Loulou as well.
So thoughtful, she is.
Here it is a bit closer up.

Here is another necklace, this one is long and for this top, I knotted it
at the back of my neck to make it shorter.
Love that I can wear it either long or short!

If there were such a thing as best friends in the blog world, and
what the heck, I am declaring that there is,
Loulou is mine.
She makes you feel like the most special person with her
super sweet comments.
We have so much in common that I am convinced
we MUST meet someday.

Go check her out, if you haven't already.
Her 'About Me' section is phenomenal.

She did not ask me to do this post by the way.
I just wanted to because she does so much for others.
And her jewelry is so perty.
: )
Stay tuned for Part 2, I have a
few pics of Loulou's jewelry for kids!

Happy Monday, sweet peas!
Go ROCK this day!

Friday Frolics - All things Green

Happy Friday, peeps!

There is no Fill in the Blanks linkup today

so I thought I'd just post some green randomness.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day!

I bought my kids some Lucky Charms as a treat.

via

Ok, I admit, I love them too.

They really are magically delicious!

Good thing we only buy them once a year.

I also bought some mint ice cream,

so maybe we'll whip up some milkshakes.

Yummers.

If you want to dress in green,
which OF COURSE I do
for St. Patrick's Day....

Can you believe those shoes?

So cute.

Hubs and I are going to a dinner party

on Saturday night (sounds so fancy doesn't it? haha...)

Looking forward to a great weekend!

Are you doing anything for St. Patrick's Day?

I'd love to hear your ideas,

food, crafts, fashion?

I love green!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

xo

Pretty party time

I love to dress up.

How 'bout you?

Is anyone else taking this time change hard?

Holeee mother, it is knocking this girlie out.

But I LOOOOVE that it's light out in the evening.

The girls and I went for a lovely walk last night.
It felt so good to get some fresh air and it wasn't dark at 4pm.

I have been absent from YOUR blogs for a few days, my lovelies,
but I just needed a break from everything.

I am looking forward to catching up on what you all are doing!!

For now, here is a pretty pic, just for you.

Spring is sprungin' and I couldn't be happier!

Today it rained briefly, it smelled so fresh after.

Perfect.

Oh until it turned into snow.

And now it's sunny.

Welcome to my weird part of the world.

; )

I hope your week is turning out to be fabulo-so!

Fill in the Blank Friday

Hello sweet peas!

It's Friday, phew, we made it!

This week was a hectic one, thanks for all your sweet comments.

I had one interview and it went well, I have a second interview next week.

We'll see how it goes!

I'm really looking forward to the weekend,

we are going to a dinner theater tonight.

I'm going to pig right out and have a few drinky-poos ya know what I mean?!

B'bye stressful week.

; )

Let's fill in some blanks, linking up with Lauren but

today's blanks were courtesy of Jen!

All about the home...love these!

1.  My favorite room in my home is my bedroom  because I feel comfort there.  It's where I can escape to and cozy up with my blankie and a bajillion pillows.

2.   My current decor style is  fairly traditional with a bit of eclectic  but I wish it were more a bit more modern and eclectic.  I like the clean lines of modern homes but not too much of it or a home seems cold.

3.  I wish I could redecorate the  living room in my house to make it more  modern and snazzy.  we need new furniture so badly.  I'd also like to paint it a different colour.  We still have that 'builder beige'.  I'm bored of it.

4. My dream house absolutely has to have a  an amazing kitchen and a giant basement for lots of entertaining.  My hubby would also say it has to have a 3 car garage.  I could live with that.

5. One house item I am willing to splurge on is  entertainment centers (tv, sound systems).  We like our big tvs for movie nights!

6. A decor trend that I just don't "get" is   all white everywhere.  It can be pretty, I do like the look of it but with a splash of colour here and there.  Plus when you have 3 kids, it's just not practical.   

7. Lots of framed family photos is a little touch that makes my house feel like home.

Have a fabulous weekend peeps!

Let me know what your plans are!

The Lenny Factor

Is there anyone cooler than Lenny Kravitz?

I think not.

Watch this.
Seriously.
I would die.
In a totally good way.
You'll see what I mean.
