love, love, love

Even though it's truly a Hallmark holiday, it's nice to be submerged in pretty things that are red and pink & lots of favourite chocolates :)

But ... I'm all for reminding people just how much they mean to you.

& I love giving out little treats.

So happy Valentine's loves.

welcome world, to our home :)

Definitely a better night to choose to stay in :)

Some say what defines us

is something as simple as please & thank you

& as for you're welcome

we say that too.

What an amazing, very true and well-spoken poem by Shane Koyczan.

Not going to lie, the Opening Ceremonies definitely had me teary-eyes.

Very proud to be Canadian.

Now let's stay gold, GO CANADA.

(on a sadder note, my heart breaks for the family, friends & team of Nodar Kumaritashvili - a dream broken too soon)

whatcha cooking?

Ryan had a dentist appointment a few days ago where Aiden and I decided to tag along. Right now, Ryan and I still have different dentists. Mine is about 10 minutes from home while Ryan's is all the way by Bayview and the 401, my goodness. Aiden and I decided to stroll around Bayview Village while we waited for Ryan to get his teeth cleaned. Ryan left the bugaboo at his parents place so instead, I had to stroll around with Aiden in his car buggy. Not at all fun for me, but all the kids in the village were super envious of our Aiden baby. We spent most of the time at Chapters since I thought it would be much easier to let Aiden play around with the toys in the Children's section - he LOVED the kitchen play set, LOVED.

What's for Dinner Kitchen / Land of Nod

Came across this adorable kitchen set from Land of Nod. So freaking cute! Looking to buy something along these lines for Aiden in the new house. He's at the stage where he's really into playing with toys (mainly balls, his train set, loves to read books, and piano) ... so excited to start designing soon! & making our house, our home :)

change is, good.

Not too sure if it's going to work out, but Ryan made the first steps (baby steps), to his next career move. Can only be excited for him because this could be so good. We'll see what happens next. I feel like he can really be the guy. Will def document the process.

He's actually menu writing right now, while I'm in bed attempting to study for a labour law midterm on Friday. He's so silent that I keep asking him if he's ok & he's told me to quit bugging him every single time, bah! Made the notes for my midterm, but haven't studied a word. I wonder how 4th year will shape up to be ... halfway to finally achieving my undergrad degree. (Didn't mean for that to rhyme, promise).

no words,

What I thought would be closure,

is springing up more & more questions.

I hate the way you look at me,

as if I was broken.

...

I'm feeling broken.

Remember Charisse,

curiosity killed the cat.
