i've been having trouble getting my thoughts organized enough to blog. maybe it's because i'm anxious for spring... and there's still sooo much snow out there. (it's snowing right this minute) |
 |
or maybe it's just 'cause life is happenin'... it seems like before i know it a holiday has arrived and lately i am late to the party. good thing emma was feeling festive, we kinda recognized st patty's day. (mike and the girls ARE a little irish after all) |
 |
the last of the christmas/winter decor was taken down (like yesterday) i feel bad actually, i should have taken my "let it snow" sign down a month ago. i feel responsible some how. (sorry for the long winter) *** i hung some art... extending my collection. i like it. |
 |
scooped up this little vintage print at the second hand store. it's not so "pink" in real life. more beige... |
 |
my 6 year old fridge died. that makes me sad. it's still all new and shiny and everything. these things happen... |
 |
i bought a spring chick... to help hurry things along. kind of cath kidsonish i think. |
 |
and sometimes... you can find a really nice scarf at walmart. so pretty that i will continue to display it. |
 |
and yep...another one found a home. |
 |
also...in an effort to feel fresh and springy... this will happen perhaps today...or tomorrow. (anything to encourage me to NOT cut my own hair again) |
 |
did some spring cleaning in the bedroom and found the top of my dresser... |
 |
and nightstand... |
 |
i have picked up some new pieces for my closet. ...because i start A NEW JOB soon... it is kind of a perfect job. kind of my dream job. i. am. so. excited. (probably another reason for my anxiety these days) |
 |
more good news... target opened last week. (brand new to canada) i love it i love it i love it. held back and only bought a couple items... like this shower curtain. i had to have the shower curtain. i love it. (i'm kind of addicted to shower curtains) |
 |
and finally, my last reason for feeling a little crazy. as i type this... my emma is on a train. she has left england and is on her way to belgium... then more backpacking through europe. for 2 months... |
 |
up until a few days ago this mama was having a very, very hard time with the idea of missing and worrying about her girl. but... she's with a friend. internet is wonderful. she is smart. i sent her with food and money and everything else she could possibly need. |
 |
i am now in the "happy/excited for her" phase. i know this will be a wonderful trip. |
 |
it's weird not having her here. i don't want to make her bed... because that would make me miss her more. so things will just remain as she left them. |
 |
because for once... i can stop time. kind of. xox |

Lots happening on your side of the world - you have only just taken down the Xmas decorations? You naughty lass! I hope you have a wonderful Easter in the Spring sunshine x
You must tell us more about your new job :) I didn't realize that your daughter would be gone for two months! I think I would be feeling the same! Mine is going to visit her sister in June for two weeks, and I was getting concerned! She is after all 23 and is going with her boyfriend! Of course that is what we moms do though, worry! Then I laugh thinking that at 23 I was married already and had my first baby!!!
Love the shower curtain that you got at Target. Is that the new "Threshold line?" I miss using shower curtains. The house that we are in now has the shower stalls and no need for a shower curtain in the larger tub :(
Gosh Mother Nature is being nasty this year, isn't she? My family in Timmins is absolutely buried!
I love your art wall and new duds - I'd love to work there - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Did Target open in Huntsville or Bracebridge? I LOVE Target.
Lucky Emma to be travelling through Europe. How I would have loved to do that but mommy said no. That's something she'll treasure her whole life.
I hope the snow starts melting, the birds start chirping and the flowers start poking their heads up soon. xo
