I LOVE CREATIVE TECH!

Just downloaded Autodesk Sketchbook. It’s like a simplified version of Photoshop. For me, being able to design when inspiration strikes is almost as important as having extra diapers in the baby bag. Now, no matter where I go I can sketch to my hearts content, without having to lug around my sketchbook and pencils. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the traditional pen and paper but as a moms, this…

THE BEAR NEXT DOOR IS A HABS FAN!

It’s playoff season in Montreal. After an exciting win for the Habs last night, Montrealers are all a buzz…even the bear next door.

I’m guessing he’s a fan of Alex Galchenyuk. Go habs go!

ORGANIZING MY LIFE: ONE PLANNER AT A TIME

BEGGINER PLANNER

I have the DIY disease.

Main side effect: the inability to purchase items that the purchaser believes they can make themselves. (I’m told it’s a very common illness among creative people)

My Blog Planner

What started as a search for a simple blog organizer ended up as the start of a creative project. So I am happy to introduce the first of many planners to come: MY BLOG, BEGINNER’S PLANNER.Have a…

SATISFYING INSULTS TO USE WHEN LITTLE EARS ARE LISTENING

Trying to keep it P.G. when kids are around is easier said then done. Case in point, my sister decided to stop swearing for Lent. Half way through, she has already collected a small fortune in her “swear jar”. So we sat down and put together twenty-five satisfying, kid friendly insults for the days you just can’t keep it in. And yes, we even included a few to use on your own offspring (It’s our…

SWEET LITTLE NOTHINGS

When my husband left for work this morning, he gave me a hug and a kiss and whispered the most wonderful words I didn’t expect to hear.

“Everything is ok, don’t worry about the mess.”

Sweet little nothings like this can make a SAHM’s day!

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Growing up with sisters has left me in somewhat uncharted waters when it comes to raising a boy. Particularly in regards to disciplinary tactics. Whatever worked on me as a child does not seem to have the same effect on my son. It was my husband who pointed out that any threats I made as a consequence of his misbehaving would be seen as a challenge rather than a punishment. {I guess he would know…

5 BLOGS THAT INSPIRED MY OWN

Surround yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel, energies are contagious. -Rachel Wolchin

Starting a blog was not in my original plan as a SAHM. It kind of creeped up on me. Truth be told, until recent years, I didn’t even know what a blog was. The word kept on coming up everywhere, so I followed up on it. As I did my research I discovered that many moms…

OPEN FOR "TRICK OR TREAT"

As a busy mom, being ‘last minute’ tends to be a common occurrence. Eventually you learn to cope and work with what you have around you. Knowing how to do things in a crunch with limited resources and pulling it off is a great skill to have as an event planner… in moderation of course. No one likes a procrastinator.

I like to use every occasion to sharpen my skills and Halloween is no exception.…

HARVEST CHARM

Thanksgiving. A time to gather, share a meal and gives thanks for our many blessings throughout the year. Personally, I am thankful for any occasion to decorate and sharpen my skills as a planner/designer. So low budget in mind, the challenge was to stage two rooms using the tools already at my disposal and create a warm ambiance worthy of the holiday turkey. Now for those who do not like the “D”…

An "Oh So Sweet" Wedding

http://wp.me/p2x7fN-wG

Some couples are “just meant to be”. For Kenny & Yasuyo, it couldn’t be more true. Born on opposite sides of the world, she from Japan, he from Montreal, fate would have them meet on a camping trip with friends. Unbeknownst to them, two years later they would exchanged vows. Their story is simple but oh so sweet!And that is exactly how I would describe their August wedding. It took place at…
