Approaching Christmas Chaos?

The day before Buggy arrived we took in our last corporate Christmas party.  PHEWF!
This one involved: sugar, screaming kids, chaos, more sugar, Santa, more chaos, an impressive spread of snacks, and a few games.
No overload on presents or take home stuff though.  I repeat… PHEWF!

Someone had a wee bit of fun.
Ok, we all did.
We have a serious bouncy castle addict on our hands.  Who doesn't love being shot down a slide like a torpedo?!
We've had such a fun month (or two) preparing for the holidays with just Andrew.
We started (ridiculously) early to embrace it all with the 3 year old knowing full well baby's arrival would slow us down.
The plan was brilliant.  And we nailed the execution. YEAH US!
Turns out, the celebration just got better and more fun with two… no really, it did.
(may have something to do with the fact that I was sleeping ZERO HOURS before baby and now I can actually sleep).

I can't lie though, we are running out of steam as the big day approaches.
NOT to be mistaken for running out of spirit.
The real challenge is that I'm also running out of creative ideas on where to put TIMMY, our Elf on the Shelf.

We've had time in Fernie, time at home and time with Santa.
Kinda feel like the gifts have already been handed out in our world.
SIGH!

As a side note, I'm secretly looking forward to taking our crispy dry tree down and clearing out clutter.  But that is a secret - shhhhh.  I must always embrace my inner Grinch.  Christmas makes a mess!


Next year we will take it to the next level with two kiddos.  SO AFRAID!  Taking tips starting Boxing Day 2013.


T minus 3 sleeps people!
3 sleeps!!!

My 365 Update!

I've loved doing this project.  And by LOVE I may mean WHY THE HELL HAS IT TAKEN ME SO LONG TO TRY THIS?!
It has challenged me in all kinds of ways I want to be.
Look beyond the everyday 'pose'.
Look way past the smile.
Around the corner for the moment.
And past all the noise and action.

I've become so much more aware of all the love around me. That is the greatest gift from this challenge.
It is a huge commitment.  It takes a LOT of time. Every moment has come with a lesson.
I can't help but feature my littlest love in most of my images.  He is my inspiration and to be totally honest, he is the one that drew me to pick up a camera, other than my iphone camera. Damned kids and their cuteness... costin me money!

Anyone who has ever done a 365 knows the time this endeavor takes.  I encourage you to try this.
I hope you enjoy some of my memories...

Project ~365
One photo each day.
An entire year of light, little moments and love through my eyes.

Friday favorites!

If it isn't magically obvious... I'm a photo lover.
An Instagram obsesser.
An iphone photo nut.
A lover of all things Tim Hortons, skulls, pink, and country.
I love every moment I share at home with my wee Bean... including poo diapers, ipad tantrums, digger dings in our walls, and messes we make.
I don't always smile while I love each of these moments.
Life is kindest to my heart when I keep things simple!

I'm a bit of a blog wh*re.  I love Mom blogs, country blogs, blogs about critters and kids, and pictures documenting life's loves.
I scan blogs every day for inspiration, therapy, guidance, prayer, and advice on staying sane.
I often come across THINGS I LOVE blogs that package up pretty things, amazing reads, stylish clothes... 
I don't relate to any of that stuff.
My Friday Favorite posts are jam packed with photos I've taken this past couple of days....

Happy Weekend.
Peace...
