time for an update of our lives

Life has been life lately lol.. It has its up and downs which always make each day more interesting. I have been trying new things. Like making 16 dozen perogies with my two bffs.. one featured in picture lol. I also had a card making afternoon at my house with a bunch more bffs lol. Is it still cool to say bff when your 31? Well it was fun we made birthday cards and I got to spend the day with some of the greatest women in my life. We went to banff with my lil family and my mom sisters and brothers.. it was fun. Wes and I got to go skiing and snowboarding at sunshine for one day, I forgot I had leg muscles or lack of till that day.

Alice got into preschool in Leduc.. so K4 or 4 year old preschool. Its at St. Bens eventually she will go to Leduc Estates but not till kindergarten. Or if she likes St Bens and we like it then she can stay. I would have liked for her to stay in Hobbema for K4 but due to being a contractor it means no stability. But we have stability in our home in Leduc so Leduc it is. Now to figure out childare duing the days she in school lol. oh well at least she got in the rest will hopefully fall into place later lol.. hope hope hope.

Abby has been sick.. oh the number of bloodtests and xrays and poop samples this kid has gone thru in the past month. She has brochitis now but today she ate a banana some toast and blueberry puffs so looks like she has an appetite.

The girls relationship is getting so cute. Alice is very helpful to her lil sister and abby won't take any more crap from Alice lol. So there is less fighting I guess all the time outs and putting our foot down is working. Discipline is soo hard but it pays off, must be firm and it works better as a team altough sometimes I admit I am a sucker. My Mom just laughs when girls are being um less than desirable. Karma I guess for me lol.

Well enjoy your day and your life. Spring is coming I can feel it. Why else would the spring clothes be out at the stores already.. lol.

Trying to find Happy Medium.. i am convinced it doesn't exist

Lately I have been trying to find a medium as a person... between being too nice and being an assertive you know what. I am generally an assertive person and let people know my thoughts whether they really like it or not and I am not afraid to speak up. People confuse this with being a "rhymes with Rich".

I have being trying to work with Abbys daycare about her lactose issues but some days it feels like I take one step forward and two step backs. Oh well.. lol darn me for caring about my child. Yes somedays I wish I didn't know any better but I do and I am thankful for my assertiveness. I hope my daughters are never afraid to voice their opinions or concerns. I am sure Mrs Jackson was not passive when she wouldn't sit at the back of the bus. She was assertive and stood her ground. As I will. Yes I just equated dealing with daycare the same level as fighting racism lol, a battle is a battle nonetheless.

The other end of the spectrum is being too nice, helping people and clients and then finding out it was a complete waste of time or they screw me over. People are funny creatures. I remember I vowed to review my relationships and put effort where effort was deserved, but my heart is too kind and I cave sometimes. I will go the end of the world for people I love and if need be hold rally's along the way or burn some bras whatever I can do.

So I continue to try be a nice person but in a assertive way. That's who I am and thankful for those who love me just the way I am.

Cute lips makes for cute card

My bff sent me a picture she took of her son's lips with her iphone. She just wanted the lips red, I did that and made him some cute valentines day cards. The designer at Willette had these freebies on the blog for photographers to use, we just had to give them credit.. They are the cutest thing and hopefully next year I can make these for clients when I have more time. Enjoy Feb..
