Mother’s Day…The day after

For the first time since I became a Mom I can honestly say I have had a “Real” Mother’s Day….. 

I mean sure I got the little cute things that the girls made at pre-school, or kindergarten or school….

An extra hug here or there…..

But not a real official celebration of me

SHOCKING right!

I think the girls were always in some activity and the importance of celebrating was secondary…..

I am thankful that I do get my “me time” once in a while but today I would like to share My Mother’s day Wins of 2017

 

 

So here goes….

MY Mother’s Day List

♥ I got to sleep in until 9am (hubby took care of the girls)

♥ I got to take a nice long un-interuptted shower.

♥ My morning Tea was delivered to my room

♥ I got the most creative home-made card from Jennah featuring photos of hubby, Jennah & Zeenah with a Mom-trivia identifying me as “A Cooking Mom” 

♥ Zeenah made a little pot for my jewlery with the cutest flowers and a thoughtful card highlighting how much she loves our morning hugs and cooking together

♥  I got to wear a DRESS & HEELS

♥   We went to Moxies for brunch

♥ Got the cutest flowers  in my favorite color….. PURPLE

♥ Got to go to Michaels for fun and just browse

♥ Baked Brownies with the girls

♥ Watched Bedtime Stories cuddled up as a family (If you haven’t watched the movie its adorable! LOVED IT!!!!)

♥ Made Roasted Potatoes with Sole for dinner

♥ Endulged in our homemade Brownies

As much as I resisted all temptations to do housework I just couldn’t, therefore…..

♥ Washed and Dried TWO loads of laundry

It’s been a great day!!!

How did you spend mother’s day????

On this Mother’s day my family focused on me by Making life Memorable as a Mother

Big Shout Out to @youbabymemummy from you baby me mummy for my list inspirations!!!

Easter Treats….

Easter Treats….

I’m so excited I get to send some treats to school with the girls!!! I’m convinced my DIY hobbies are turning into an addiction…….but still don’t care!!!

 

Due to some gluten and nut restrictions in class this Easter I’m sending something fun but simple!!! These Easter bags are filled with chocolate and sprinkle coated marshmallows and popcorn. A little sweet and a little salty is what I’m going with.

 

 

 

I also made little tags with the girls names to add something a little more personalized!!! Nothing too fancy just little bunnies on Polka labels with a small “Happy Easter” and each girls’ name.

 

 

Found some really cute Easter themes ziplock bags at Dollarama which made it that much easier than designing my own…..plus being Very cost effective!

I’m just keeping true to myself and what I love doing!

Making life Memorable one holiday at a time….

One of the nicest things since I’ve moved to Canada is that I don’t have to work so hard on recreating a celebratory atmosphere for the girls. Everyone celebrates too!!

With Easter around the corner everywhere I look are bunnies, eggs and chicks….So much to choose from that I end up feeling extremely overwhelmed and the fact that I still don’t have my usual plan. I’m going to miss my usual Easter egg hunt in my garden with my playgroup peeps!

Yet there’s so much to do around here I hope that I venture out to at least one event!

 

We did get to go to West Edmonton Mall and were surprised to see the bunny photo Op….I really felt like i was in one of those movies….My version would definitely be a “National Lampoons” one!

You can get yours done at West Edmonton Mall until April 17 at the Centre Stage, Level One, in front of Hudson’s Bay

Mon-Thu Noon to 7pm

Good Friday & Sunday Noon to 5pm

 

 

The girls loved all the fancy decorations on the stage and getting some cotton candy must have been another highlight too!!!

So If you haven’t already and you’re in Edmonton I suggest you get hopping and start Making Life Memorable!

Back to School Treats

Back to School Treats

I was determined to make something special for the girl’s first day of school. I wanted to make sure they were super excited about the year ahead. The hardest part was making sure it was something the kids would enjoy and it be a healthy treat.

First I thought maybe it should be a non-edible something….but it didn’t make sense to send a notepad and pencil favor with the amount of supplies we’ve already sent to school and for the younger ones sending crayons home didn’t seem appealing.

So plan B edible…healthy omits cookies, candy and chocolates. I was not about to send apples & bananas, where’s the creativity in that???

Then it dawned on me Popcorn!!! Kids of all ages love popcorn, it’s air popped and healthy. No allergy issues and extremely simple!!!

Next came the labels!! That’s where the creativity kicked in….
 
 

I tried to choose something fun on each Label…it read It’s gonna be a “POPin” year with you in my class! and the girls’ names. I made sure that I used different borders for each of the girls so that they were unique to them.
 
 
 
 

And viola!! Amazing popcorn treats for the girls classmates to kick of the School year with a POP! and all you needed was a bowl of popcorn and a few simple supplies.
