Everyday Beauty-Week 19-Uncle
We had a visitor from across the pond for a few days. The girls love their Uncle and it was a nice way for two families to connect and share some memories and stories. Plus, he joined us in the run last week. Next time we see him will be Christmas, but then he will bring the whole crew. Can't wait. The rest of the week was filled with the usual busyness of life and the girls got to "babysit" our wee neighbour (I was merely there for moral support and legal reasons) and loved it! I had an amazing family session and we even fit in some gardening and invitation making for an upcoming birthday. My mom has also arrived for a little while so she may make an appearance in here at some point.

Everyday Beauty-Week-18-Run
We had an amazing week in terms of weather and that meant beautiful sunsets, golden hour fields, ice cream and some trampolining. We ended the week on Mother's Day with the annual Sporting Life 10km for Camp Ooch. It's an honour to run with so many thousands of people who also want to help kids kick this nasty beast called cancer. Bonus picture of our amazing friend Jack who has kicked it, raised thousands of dollars for the Camp and ran this 10km with his parents, cousins and sister! What can I say? He inspires me to get off my duff and do the little that I do to help send a kid to camp.

Everyday Beauty-Week 17-Sun
Sun and warm and more sun and warmer...what a great week! Spring has arrived and the showers gave way to beautiful sun and lots of buds and green coming out. We had a lovely week and managed to spend most of it outside enjoying it all.
It's been a long time coming, but I think I may have finally washed the snowpants for the last time this season.

Everyday Beauty-Week 16-Rain
So much rain this week meant a lot of indoor time and play. Wouldn't have been so bad if it had also been warm, but Mother Nature decided to give us another blast of cold weather. We saw it all this week, sun in tiny bursts, crazy wind, rain, hail, snow and they all rotated through several times over the week. It would seem though that all that rain has given way to some sunshine and buds on the trees. Here's hoping spring is actually around this much talked about corner. Here's to warmer weather this coming week.

Everyday Beauty-Week 15-Birthday Week
My wee baby turned 6 this week! Wowza. The week was pretty much consumed with party prep and fun. In lieu of birthday gifts each year we collect some kind of donations to support something that is important to us. This year a young family experienced two very difficult and life-changing things in a short period of time. We put our efforts towards collecting bottles of wine to create gift baskets for a raffle at a fundraiser next weekend. My little girl and her amazing friends collected enough wine to make 4 raffle baskets. We are very excited to be able to hand over these baskets and are so proud of our little girl too for so willingly forgoing her gifts for the good of someone else.
