Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

Today is Show us where you live Friday! Dining Rooms!

It's been a while since I joined in on this and decided to jump back in the fun!


Here is my dining room! When we first moved in I wondered why they made this room so long. It was hard for me to think of how to decorate it. BUT I get it now! Lots of room to fit guests! A couple weekends ago when I had my jewelry sale, the space was used so well!


Another great thing I love about this dining room is that it faces the park. Our previous house faced a park as well. I love nature and wouldn't have it any other way. Hopefully in years to come our next houses also are in front of parks!

Zoe's chair to look outside! Ha!

And this is my dining room :)

Happy Friday!!!!

Oh Friday!

Ahhh Friday! You couldn't have come at a better time haha! What a week! Work has totally drained me this week. So glad I only have one more day of that torture till the weekend!

Tonight I went out makeup shopping. I bought a $20.00 lipstick, I don't usually wear lipstick, I mostly do glosses. But with actual lipstick I really like Matte ones. I guess I never noticed how many Matte lipsticks they don't sell! There was not much selection. I got a really nice Matte pink lipstick and really love it, worth the 20 bucks.

I've been slowly cutting down on the coffee. I did really well this week. Every morning I heat half a cup of milk and add it to half a cup of coffee. I had only 1 coffee a day this week and only twice this week I had a afternoon tea. So I'm getting there :)

Sooo the weekend is almost here! I'm excited for the weekend. Nothing specific planned so far but spending time with the husband going out and having fun will be on the list! My goal this weekend is to choose the healthier choices when eating out. I tend to forget this when I'm out having a good time.

Hope you all had a better work week than I did!!

Not really Wordless Wednesday :)

Workout to DWTS

Ahhh done with Monday! Last night we didn't get much sleep. Our Carbon Monoxide Alarm went off at 3am! I was so freaked out! We opened all the windows and called our gas company. They came at 4am and checked everything out and it was a false alarm whew! Our alarm is about 4 years old and needs to be changed. So this is a reminder to all to get your CO and Fire alarms checked regularly! Go check them out!

Today I started my breakfast off with apple pie haha! I was running late! But I had my healthy choice lunch which I totally love! Followed by a banana and apple for snacks.

After work I came home and made a yummy dinner! Breaded Turkey Breast, Wedges and Veggies. Yummy!

And I got in a basement workout too while watching Dancing with the Stars!

This weeks Goals:
*Smoothie or Oatmeal for Breakfasts
*Only 1 coffee a day (going well so far)
*1500 Calories/day
* Tracking calories on Iphone "my fitness pal app"
*Drink lots of water everyday! (2L a day!)
* No more apple pie for me this week!
* 3 workouts this week. (1 down)

What are your goals this week??

Hope you all had a good Monday!

Just Love Fall

Today was one of those Sundays. We slept in then went out for a late breakfast and drove up north to the apple farm we usually go to.

There were sooo many people apple picking today! We didn't go apple picking but we did drop in to buy their delicious apple pie and apples!
And we tried apple raisin cookies with hot apple cider. mm mmm

The drive was beautiful. All the beautiful colors of the leaves just makes my day.

I need to get my fall decor our soon! Now.. where to start looking for it ahhah!

Happy Sunday!

Fun Wedding Filled Day!

Today was the Canadian Bridal Show DT Toronto. So a group of us went down to support my sister in her wedding planning. I'm her MOH and sooo excited to be part of her wedding. My sister was my MOH as well 3 years ago and we had a blast and we will have a blast all over again!

We had so much fun... I love my girls and we always enjoy each others company.

We were my sisters little assistants. Asking questions, filing out contest ballots and we helped with cake tasting too.


And whats going DT without having street meat!

On the way back home the girls wanted to watch my wedding video. So I pulled it out and we watched it. It brought back so many wonderful memories. My wedding day was the BEST DAY of my life!

So I pulled out my wedding dress and my cousins and sister tried it on aahhah!

My sister tucked in the straps and loves this look for her dress, so now we have an idea of what to go out and look for!


Look how great the dress looks on them! Love it!

And guess what movie was on tonight... BrideWars hahahh! Great movie and a perfect movie to end the wedding filled day!

So now in a year and a half my sister and her fiance will be the ones in the middle!

Lunch Makeover

I usually have salads for lunch but the other day at the grocery store I found these frozen meals. They have a variety of different meals all ranging from 200-300 calories!!! Perfect for a lunch!
And look how good it looks and tastes so yummy!

This week I decided that any snacks I had during the work day was going to be fruits...
Especially around flu season apples live up to their saying... a apple a day keeps the doctor away haha!

I made dinner only twice this week, but I can see how my schedule is slowly becoming more free in the evenings. So I'm hoping to cook dinners at least 5 times a week soon!
Today is the first day of FALL! The leaves on the trees are already changing!

The best part of this time of year are all the season premieres on TV.

So far I'm loving. DWTS and Modern Family. I missed GLEE this week, so I'm hoping to catch that next week! I haven't watched much TV all summer and haven't seen many commercials. Anyone know if Desperate Housewives and Brothers and sisters have season premieres this week?

What are your favorite TV shows this season????

Monday Monday!

This was my dessert yesterday ahhah I love the smidgen of tiramisu on the side ahhah!

It's MONDAY! And after a weekend of FFF (Family, Friends and Food!) I'm pooped!


I just wish I had the time to sleep as much as my baby niece ahhah!
She is just sooo adorable, I can't get enough of her!


But it's Monday and I'm tired!!!! I'm so happy my husband brought home dinner tonight too because I'm on the couch and not moving until bedtime!

I was too tired to grocery shop tonight, so I'll get on that tomorrow...

This weeks Goals:
*Smoothie or Oatmeal for Breakfasts
*Only 1 coffee a day (hard but trying!)
*1500 Calories/day
* Tracking calories on Iphone "my fitness pal app"
*Drink lots of water everyday! A MUST!

Weekend Jewelery sale

Yesterday my sister and I hosted a Jewelery sale at my place. My Aunt has a business and allows others to host shows. We get a % of the sales made too! Which is great!

So many pretty pieces. Some costume jewelery, Some Sterling silver, Purses, Hair accessories and gorgeous scarves! I bought some great pieces for myself too, I'll post them up later this week. :)


We had a really good turn out of family and friends! We made the highest sales so far for my Aunt which felt really good! We love all her items especially the unique items she custom makes herself!


Tonight we are going for dinner with the family so I am looking forward to that!

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!!!

So Glad It's FRIDAY!

I'm sooo glad it's Friday tomorrow! This week has been busy! And the drive to work alone... well it's lonely! I miss my husband sooooo much! I didn't think it would matter not carpooling with each other, but I guess I'm really missing that 40 min chat back and forth from work! And our daily lunch dates. (we use to work 5 mins from each other) Miss him!

So I'm happy it's the weekend!

This weekend I'm hosting a Jewelry show at my house. It will be fun seeing friends and family.

This week so far I was able to get in 3 workouts... BUT my calorie counting pretty much ended on Tuesday... Yesterday I had Pizza for dinner and cake for dessert... and today well... lets just say I ate all the carbs I missed out on at the beginning of the week!

Soooo I'll just leave it at that for now.

Hope you all have a good weekend! :)
