Calmly Chaotic

I have been craving a dip lately.  I think that perhaps a pool would restore me to my lighter self... temporarily of course... and that's the cause of this craving.  I am not a lover of the public swimming pool but I might suck it up and go for a swim if I can find a decent bathing suit.  I am …

I'm flipping through the new issue of Lucky Magazine and watching big chunky snow flakes fall through the window.  I just came across this beauty featured in Lucky's inspiration board for February.  Did I mention I love watercolours? 

Happy Weekend!

With February just around the corner, that day that celebrates love is quickly approaching. Yes I'm referring to Valentine's day. Yes I am one of those people who likes to recognize and celebrate the day devoted to love. Usually we celebrate with a nice dinner out but this year I would b…

This weather is really starting to get to me... and.... it's only January.  Could the sun at least make an appearance?  Please!  This weather is really throwing me into some serious babymoon wishing... southern babymoon to be precise. 

Since it is still unclear as to whether or not a babymoon …

No we are not getting remarried.  It was announced today that Kate and William have sent out... or rather their camp has sent out, save the date faxes!  Am I the only one that sees a problem with this?  Really a fax?  Do people still use the fax machine as a valid means of communication... especial…

There is hope.... fashionable maternity clothing does exist!  Thank you all for your wonderful shopping suggestions yesterday.  I continued my search last night and I stumbled onto the Maternal America line while searching Nordstrom online for maternity options.  I am impressed.  I definitely think…

Hello maternity clothes... Yes it is that time. I was really hoping to make it to the twelve week mark before taking the plunge into maternity wear but my body has other ideas. I have been wearing the bella band for a few weeks now with my fly unzipped but my jeans end up falling down and making…

It is frigid in Ottawa today and the weekend is only getting cooler... time to hibernate.

I've rented three movies, Andrew's picking up a couple of dinner options and then we are hunkering down and staying in.

I plan on investigating some babymoon options and hopefully getting into my new…

We have successfully crossed one item off of my pre babies wish list.... and I have to tell you I am pretty excited about this... we bought a new washer and dryer!  Okay this may not seem that exciting but believe me, if it took you close to three hours to do one load, you too would be doing a happ…

While quarantined to the couch for the better part of this weekend I was delighted to receive a lovely blog award from Charlotta Ward at Space for Inspiration!  This definitely brightened my day (and made me feel a tad guilty for sitting around in sweats, feeling sorry for myself for feeling sick, …

I miss you.

I miss your sun and sunsets, your pina coladas and coronas, your lounge chairs and swim up bars, the smell of sun screen and the feel of salt in my hair, your cobblestone streets and sandy beaches.... most of all I miss that first breath of sea filled air...

Friends of ours are getting …
