A Coffee Date

I've seen a lot of these around the blogosphere lately and thought it might be fun to play along.

I am a crazy coffee lover but funny enough, I didn't start drinking it until my late 20's. Before that, I really hated the taste. Even today, I take way too much cream and sugar. It is my one vice. Well, that and diet coke. 

If we sat down for coffee...

I would tell you that Isabella seems to be growing up right before my eyes. She was invited to a pool party on Saturday night and I was seriously worried about her getting into a bikini. She has the body of a woman. Scary. I have to constantly remind myself (and her daddy) to have faith in the fact that she has been raised well.

I would tell you that we've officially booked our summer vacation. And that I cannot wait. We'll be in West Palm Beach, Florida for 5 glorious weeks. Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that it is crazy hot. We love it. Living in Canada will do that to a person.

Ava has finally hit the dreaded terrible part of the two's. I kid you not, she whined the entire day yesterday. I'm chalking it up to growing pains.

My husband has been on a mission to get the house in order. I find we go in stages...for a while we will do all kinds of things and then not touch a thing for a long while. We had the patio stones in the back re-laid this week. And right this very minute, he is out buying flowers at Costco for the planters in the back. The pool should be open soon!

I would tell you that my big brother was here for dinner on Saturday night since my SIL was away with friends for the weekend. He looked so handsome. I kept asking if he had been on a hot date. And he kept saying that yes, he had...and that it was with a 72 year old gentleman earlier that day to play tennis. 

Touche.

We might chat about how great my shopping trip with Julian was this past Saturday..a little break and some one on one time with my boy. We got his hair cut, bought Ava a few things she has been needing and went to two toy stores. Not one, two. 

On the drive home he apologized for not wanting to go with me initially. And then told me it was "so fun".

I would also tell you that I got a new Kobo e-reader for Mother's Day and I am LOVING it. I would ask if you use one as well or if you still prefer a good old book? I think I may go back and forth. But honestly, have nowhere left to store them so thinking this is a really great solution.

Lastly, I might invite you to my Stella + Dot jewellery party next Thursday. Really, just an excuse to have a fun girls night in while simultaneously supporting one of my besties. Any suggestions on a fun signature cocktail? 

Let's do this again soon, m'kay?
