Life is busy with monkey and lovebug.



Follow our everyday adventures as we juggle life's little curveballs...and I try to keep my sanity doing it! :-)

Five Question Friday

Alright, so trying something new today - Five Question Friday!  I'm hoping this will give me a reason to actually blog on Fridays and that I'll actually stick with it and up my post count.  It might even lead to other posts...not on Fridays.  Wouldn't that be novel?
Here we go!


1. If you were free to just hop in the car and drive, where would you go? Or, if you could hop a plane and go anywhere, where?
Do we even have to ask??  If I were just driving though, I'd head out to the East Coast of Canada.  We've never been (in fact, I've never been to any other province other than Quebec on a highschool band trip...bad Canadian!!).  It's on my bucket list.  I'm thinking we'll roadtrip out there once Lovebug is around 5 (another 3 years...)

If I were to get on a plane this second and go anywhere, I'd head on down to the happiest place on earth.  And stay at the Polynesian.  Because we haven't yet.  And I want to.  And it's my fantasy trip, darnit! *grin*

2. What's your most recently read favorite book?

The Hunger Games, a recent re-read in preparation for tonight's girls' night out to the movies to see it.  Followed by "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown.  I've only had The Lost Symbol for 2 years.  Finally picked it up.  Having a hard time putting it down.

3. What's your favorite Spring Break memory?
Hahaha.  Again, do we even have to ask?  It was OAC year (what used to be Grade 13 in Ontario).  We went down to Disney World and stayed at Fort Wilderness.  Two of my good friends went down with their families as well.  I have happy memories of wandering around Disney World together, not a care in the world (other than the math homework waiting for me back at the campsite!). 


4. What do you put in your child's Easter basket? Or, for those w/o kids, what was put in your childhood basket?
Monkey and Lovebug get the following: some chocolate (but not too much, because Grandpa has a sweet tooth and goes a little overboard on the bunny trail at their place!), a book, some bubbles, maybe a nice outfit/dress, outdoor toys.  Nana and Papa take care of the bikes.  I can remember as a kid getting a pretty dress, a hula hoop, bubbles, that sort of stuff.  I want Monkey and Lovebug to have the same kind of memories.  To me, Easter is about spring, and outside. 

5. Do you get a summer haircut?

Not a haircut, but a dye job, yes!  At my appointment next month, the highlights will return.  I don't like having darker hair when the spring/summer weather hits and always get some blond/light highlights in.  Of course, I also get a trim, but I find my hair is more manageable when it's ponytail length, so I leave it long in the summer.  That way, when I'm slumming around the house on the weekend, it goes up in a pony and I don't worry about it. :-)

Wordless Wednesday - BFFs


A trip to the park on Monday afternoon with some friends from daycare.  I hope these boys are friends for life.
