He's Growing up so Fast

If I were just two feet tall I'd want to play in the closet (err, fort).


I swear he did this by himself. While eating dinner he looked at his carrot intensely then gently placed it on his own head.
I couldn't help but laugh. Apparently he was quite serious about it!

Literal baggage

I finally let go...my journals. My first one was started when I was 11 and 1/2.
I have been carrying all of this around with me on every move - from my parents house to Baba's and then to this house- all packed in a vintage suitcase and a cheap duffel bag. Literal baggage. Upon flipping through them I found a lot of negative stuff. I seem inspired by the bad and hardly wrote anything nice in there. Unless you count all the "I love this guy or that guy". Names I cannot remember the faces of. I actually kissed a guy named Don!??!

Now over 20 years later I feel I can let go. It felt good to make this decision - it shocked my mom (and inspired her to declutter a bit). Hopefully I can inspire more...

And it's Done...

I love the colour, which I picked out. I was afraid at first but everything worked beautifully.

During...

And so it was gutted.

Bathroom Reno

As I promised awhile ago here are the picks of the bathroom renovation from start to finish...thanks to my dad for his hard work!

The before...(insert ominous music here)

The door had fallen off and had holes in it. The paint was peeling from the moisture in the room.

There was a hole in the floor that I had thought went down to dirt and it grossed my out. We later found out there was a cement floor underneath. phew!


More peeling paint above the shower.

The window opened up to under the deck. It was great for spying on the outdoor cats, as well as capturing kittens before we had them all fixed! Other than that it just made the room smell damp and dirty.

A hole in the wall when the plumbing needed repair!!! Teegers was the only one who enjoyed this room.
