Polaroid

                                                    cakies

Who doesn't love a polaroid camera!! I remember my Grandmother had one when i was growing up...i loved it. The instant gratification of seeing what you took a pic of right away was sooo exciting!!

Well there is a way of getting one!! I have been following rubyellen's blog for some time now. She is sooo inspiring and creative. She has the cutest girls and the most thoughtful husband. The best part is she is a Christian and is super encouraging!

She is giving away a polaroid camera so leave a comment on her blog post and you may have a chance!! PolaroidGiveaway

Food Revolution

Ah i saw Jaimie Oliver on Oprah the other day and i couldn't wait to see his new show Food Revolution! I saw it this past weekend and i loved it!! Love that he ran around in a pea pod outfit soo funny!

Last summer i bought a compost and this year i get to use some of the soil to use in a garden! I am soo excited to try to grow my own veggies and some fruit!! I never was a green thumb but since having an acreage and all this space I am starting to become one!

I want to eat better and want my children to eat better and be active and healthy. I love junk so it is very hard to say no to french fries and pop...but i am gonna try! I don't think i am strong enough to cut that stuff out but i am gonna try to stop buying processed food. If anyone has tips on gardening please leave a comment!! I need all the help i can get!!

I Heart Friday

I <3 girls night! A bunch of friends and I usually get together friday evenings for a night in/out! There is not much to do in this town but when we get together we have lots of fun! A lot of silly conversation and laughing!! It had been a long time since I had hung out with these ladies and it was much needed!! I have been in this house too long with sick kids and crummy weather. We went to dinner and played some games and I laughed till i cried!!! It's been awhile since that has happened. Love it!! Here is a pic of my beautiful friends ..

I heart Friday

Heart friday is late, computer problems. I heart that it is spring!!! Although early last week it was "spring" and now we are back to winter...hopefully this does not last long!

Family Tree

I am soo fascinated with genealogy..and no not because Oprah was talking about it. I had watched a show with Sarah Jessica Parker and was fascinated with what she had found. Now all i know is that i have Norwegian, French( i assume because of my maiden name) and Scottish..but i have been digging! I am using the website Ancestry.ca. I have found that my Great Great Grandfather is from Norway...he was born 1885! So exciting but i am kinda stuck there...but i am enjoying the search!

I Heart Friday-Playkitchen

I have been thinking alot of what to get Emma bean for her first birthday. I Love the idea of the wooden play kitchen...i know she is a little young for one but they are so cute! We have a play stove, a hand me down from the church...needs some paint but it is a start to a great kitchen. Now i really kick myself, a year ago at the baby sale here there was an entire play kitchen set...i think it was 5 pieces for only $40... CRAZY uh and i past it up! Oh well next time i see one i will be buying it that's for sure...or i might just have to make one with the help of Peter of course! For now one can only dream!
