The Life of Mrs Magoo

San Diego 2011

I have had the travel bug for the past 5years but, due to finances and other things we haven't had a chance to travel much. But I think that will be changing soon, hopefully. I finally had a chance to get away for a little and it was much needed. I went down to SanDiego to visit with my family and eat lots of delicious Mexican food. Which I did thoroughly enjoyed and came back, I believe with a couple of extra pounds. But it's all good. So, I thought I would share some photos of my trip.

I love palm trees and beaches. <3 These were taken at Coronado.

Enjoying a picnic on the beach with my cousins.

Went to Seaport Village as well, so cute and I loved the kissing couple statue.

Hanging out with the troops.

Delicious food and family <3

Don't mind the scray looking guy in the club.

I had so much fun. Makes me miss Summer going through this photos. Can't wait to go back!! Thanks for visiting :)

Our New Year's

J and I had a very quiet new year's eve. My baby sis came over and we ate some good food, listened to some retro music, played games and toasted with some apple cider. It was a very fun night. And I did get a couple of pictures.

I told you it was a couple of photos. Check out my cupcake blog  for these delicious Champagne and Blackberry cupcakes. They are absolutely divine!!

 

so thankful that it's a long weekend...

We're celebrating Thanksgiving over here in Canada and I am so looking forward to a 3 day weekend and some time with my family.

It has been a bit of a crazy and overwhelming week and I am looking forward to relaxing and enjoying not only time with family and friends but a little bit of me time. Doing some organizing, rearranging and being creative. Sounds good to me. I just hope that I can kick off this headache and sore throat that are trying to make themselves heard. I don't want to be sick!!

I love this picture of all of us from this past Summer..I love these people so much!!

Have a good weekend and I hope to be back with more to share!!

Love this girl...

I just got home not too long ago from hanging out with this cutie...

She's enjoying her animal crackers while we had a stop at Starbucks. And she was so fun at the playground exploring everything and everyone. So cute. Just love her so.

Thanks so much for all the comments on my garden. I'm quite proud of it and totally loving it too. It's kind of cool to go out there every day and see what's grown more or what's popped up.

Still enjoying my summer and trying to do lots of stuff before school starts again. Can you believe it's already August, it's flown by so quick.

This past weekend was a long weekend over here so, Jared was home all weekend. Which was nice. He's finally finished up the bathroom, there was only drywall left. And for the fist time in my life I got to paint. We've chosen a blue..very pretty and calm. It's called Honolulu Blue reminds us of Waikiki Beach on our honeymoon. So, we did some work around the house, and some more organizing and cleaning too. Since it looks like we will be living here for awhile, I'm trying to make our place more like a home. Have some pictures and prints that I have been collecting that I need to find some frames for so, they can be hung. And still looking for some other things to decorate with, but that will take time, got go out and do some more thrifting.

Wanted to share some scrap pages and a card I made too.

My Garden <3

My sister, Ness and my niece Naomi <3

And a card, I finally got around to making thank you cards for the kids that gave me end of the year gifts. Yes I know, procrastinator...

The scrappy pages are made with the June Studio Calico kit. And the card is leftovers.

I also decided that for the month of August I'm going to participate in a Photo A Day and so far so good. I will share once I've got one week done. This is something I hope to continue with, I've always wanted to do it too.

Also wanted to share that I've started a cupcake blog it's called Love, Cupcake I've only just started but check it out and tell me what you think..there's still more to some with it.

And I leave you with a cute photo of Nomi <3

Have a good Wednesday!!

Happy 1st Birthday Nomi!!

Hard to believe that one year ago today this little cutie was born.

She's made my sister into an amazing, and made our family so very happy and blessed!!

We all love you very much!! Okay now I have to go make her cupcakes for her birthday party tomorrow :)

Happy Canada Day!!

We're celebrating Canada Day over here in my part of the world today!! But I also wanted to say hi and say that I am back and I have lots to share. Things have settled down and I look forward to posting again!!

I know I've shared this photo before of my niece Naomi, but it's just too cute I had to share it again!! She's a Canadian cutie ;)

Be back soon!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

It's been a good Mother's Day weekend!! My family had a lunch for my Mom yesterday and my sister's house. It was also her first Mother's Day so it was kind of exciting!! We had soup and sandwich. Homemade carrot soup my sister made and a salad. Along with some delicious cupcakes that I made :) It was a-lot of fun, a good day. I love my family. We got a shot of all us girls..this one will be scrap worthy for sure!!

It was hard to get a good shot with Naomi looking at us most of the time rather than the camera.

And my cupcakes....strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting..they were delicious!!

And today, I was lucky enough that my Mom and Dad came over to help me with my garden. Jared got it all ready for me on Friday so, I could work on it this weekend. He was away all weekend taking a soccer coach course so, I had a-lot of help from my parents. It was awesome and fun. Lots of hard work, raking, digging and hoeing (haha). And now my veggie garden is all planted. And I still have some more room for a couple more strawberry and cucumbers. I'm excited. I need to take some photos of the beginning still, which I will post. Also have some sweet peas and my mom planted some of her sunflowers too so, I hope they grow.

I am so lucky to have an awesome family!! Hope your weekend was good!!

Happy Friday!!

I love long weekends. And a good Friday too. What are your plans for this weekend? Jared and I are going to an engagement party tonight. A good friend of his is getting married in June, and Jared's a groomsman. I'm looking forward to dressing up and having some Indian food. Really looking forward to some butter chicken. Yum! As for the rest of the weekend doing some two crafty chicks work tomorrow. And we have Easter dinner at our families houses on Sunday and Monday night. I cannot wait to see our nieces and nephew. It will be good.

Speaking of nieces thought I would share some cute photos of my niece Naomi. I saw her, my sister and Dad last week while on Spring Break. I cannot believe she is crawling already...she's cute to watch.

I hope the Easter bunny finds you. Have a good weekend!!

Wednesday

I am loving my Spring Break so far. Have been busy doing things, going places, and hanging out with some fabulous people. Monday I did some major Spring Cleaning around the house. Worked on cleaning and sorting our bedroom. I'm quite happy with myself, feels so much better. I just need to deal with the computer desk and Jared's part of the closet but, that's easy.

Yesterday my Mom and I went to go see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. It was awesome. We both loved it, and stuffed ourselves with popcorn. I had no dinner. And we looked cute in our 3D glasses of course.

If you haven't seen it, you should go see it. And in #D it's pretty cool you cannot resist but try to touch the things off the screen. And my Mom did scream a couple of times, which is so like her. She makes me laugh!!

And today went to the gym this morning. It was really good, followed my sister's workout plan, and I think I will be sore for sure. The abs and arms. After went over to Tanya's and did some work for  the two crafty chicks and hung out. It was a very good day.

Now, I am home Jared is working late so, I think I may be crafty for a bit and watch a movie. Until next time.
