We went to the mall this weekend because Roo’s iPad up and died on her. It wasn’t unexpected seeing she dropped it in the toilet (her fault for bringing it in there, but in her defence Merle kicked open the door and scared the shit out of her so she dropped it). I didn’t realize that they were totally not fixable though until the guy said the battery was completely dead and they can’t replace the battery but would issue us a replacement iPad for $220 since we were out of warranty. Nope, sorry. Continue Reading →

Union Jack Chairs and Minecraft

July 8, 2015Sara Leave a Comment

1. Tom sent me a text from work today. The small town they are filming in has an antique store that he said I would love and this chair is out in front. He said they hand painted it and I wish I was that talented enough to pull it off. This chair is amazing and when he said it wasn’t for sale I was disappointed. Roo would die if we got this because her everything UK obsession would be on overload. Wouldn’t this look amazing in a living room? Even if it was just a show piece and no one could ever, ever sit in it in fear of ruining the amazing paint job.

The Burden of Eating Healthy & Outfit of the Day 9

July 7, 2015Sara Leave a Comment

Good lord the humidity kills me. I would rather have stayed home today but we were running out of something that is not good to run out of 😉 so there wasn’t much choice in the matter. The girls didn’t want to leave either and were being so slow and pokey that I wished they were old enough to stay at home. Especially since anytime we go and run errands together it usually takes no less than 2 hours when I have to bring them. I am so much more efficient on my own. Continue Reading →

Canada’s Wonderland

Tom usually spends Saturdays catching up on sleep after working around the 90 hour work weeks he has lately. This weekend he had a 3 day weekend because of Canada Day (they worked Canada Day in favour for Friday off). We decided that because he had that extra day to recuperate we would bring the girls to Canada’s Wonderland for the first time. I haven’t been since 1998 and I remember it fully because it was the first and only time I have had a sunburn, so I slathered suntan lotion spf 60 on both the kids and I. Not Tom though because apparently he is too cool for school. Continue Reading →

WTF Summer Colds? Outfit of the day 8

July 3, 2015Sara Leave a Comment

All I have to say about summer colds is wtf? We usually don’t see colds until the end of summer when school is starting and sharing germs becomes a daily battle. Even though we homeschool we still seem to be affected by the back to school germ influx, so I don’t know where this came from. It’s not like they have licked public door handles and we wash hands thoroughly after outings. It was probably that moment when I said, “hey guys, can you please stop touching fruit that people are going to buy?” when we were grocery shopping. Karma for manhandling someone else’s produce. I just know that when both kids told me that they had sore throats within 20 minutes of each other that something not so fun was brewing. Continue Reading →
