The Girls at The Zoo
I took the girls to the Toronto Zoo last weekend for the ir little summer trip. They had so much fun! So did I!! They were so cute watching the animals - they were almost in awe. Amber's favorite animal to see was the cheetah. Emily loved the bunnies and the fish. I had so much fun being there with them and watching their excitement. They ran and climbed everything they could find. It was adorable to see. I think watching them I was as excited as they were. Thursday, August 30, 2007
SCHOOL????????
I can't believe my whole summer has flown by - it seems as if it has in a blur. I feel like I have wasted my summer doing - I don't know what - nothing I guess. It feels like I have not really accomplished anything all summer or enjoyed the beautiful weather. I have not really been outdoors all summer. And here it is, the end of August. The kids start back to school next week already. It seems like they just got out. Back into a whole new bunch of routines and schedules. My goal this school year is to be a batter mom, to be more organized and follow a better schedule, to allow my kids to learn and grow. I just feel like lately I haven't been myself, or really been there the right way for them and I know that has to change. Starting today - I will challenge myself to make the difference, to accomplish the things I set out to do, and to be the best damn mommy I can ever be.

Do You Have a Borderline Personality?
You Are 72% Borderline |
 Many signs point toward you having a borderline personality. It's probably a good idea to seek therapy. Or at least read a self help book. |
Michelle's Wedding
My girls were in my best friends wedding this past weekend. I took all the wedding photos and thought that these ones were beautiful. Amber was a junior bridesmaid and Emily was a flowergirl. They both did an amazing job - I was so proud of them!!!
Man it's been awhile...
Man it's been awhile since I've been on here. I can't believe I had actually forgotten about my blog for a short while. Man I am so forgetful...things here have been insane, things seem to be changing so rapidly. Cory and I broke up. We're still friends and I am really hoping that we can maintain that friendship - he's been my best friend for almost the past year. I can't imagine not having him to talk to. I've switched contracts at work and I absolutely hate it. I hate going to work now. Like I said ... things seem to be changing very rapidly.

What Color Should Your Blog Be?
| Your Blog Should Be Purple |
 You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say. |

Time Flies
In doing the 2 Peas Blog challenge today, and in writing about Emily's Graduation the other day I have been thinking so much about time this past weekend. I can't believe how sometimes time seems to just fly by. I remember holding Amber and Emily as newborn babies and thinking that they would be my little babies forever. Now here they are completing Kindergarten and Grade 2. When I look at them now there is no more baby look to them, they look like little girls now. They are looking and definitely acting so grown up. Almost daily now one of them says something that hits me that they are no longer babies. I just can;t believe how fast these past 7 years have flown, seems like yesterday when they were born. I don't know how ready I am to have 2 very grown up mature little girls. It almost frightens me a little bit that I might not be able to handle what is to come next. What if I don't teach them the things they will need to become strong, independent girls with values and morals. What if I miss something? I guess all I can hope for is that as this time seems to fly by that God gives me what I need to teach them what's right, that He prepares me to handle what may come. In the mean time... I'm gonna be running after that time to see if I can slow it down, just a little bit.
How Is Your Inner Child
| Your Inner Child Is Sad |
 You're a very sensitive soul. You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have. Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone. You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time. |

What one life moment changed your life forever?
Blog about it.
Happy or sad.
Good or bad.
I think the moment that changed my life the absolute most was the births of my girls. When my first daughter was born and I held her for the very first time everything about me and everything about my life changed in the first second she was in my arms. I had never knows that I could have such an instant love for someone. An instant need to protect, shelter, nurture and love. I instantly went from my world being about me to my world being about this little girl in my arms. When my second daughter was born I felt all the same feelings all over agin. I had been nervous that there might not be enough love inside of me to take care of two girls equally, but when I held her I knew that I had more than enough love inside for both. Having my girls has made my life so much better than I had ever imagined it could be. I am the luckiest mom in the world and I thank God everyday for giving me my two beautiful girls and for changing my life in the most amazing way possible.

My Baby Graduated From Kindergarten
My baby graduated from Kindergarten yesterday. It was amazing watching the graduation ceremony. I was so proud of her and had so much fun. It was a little bit sad for me though. My baby is growing up - too fast!! It really hit me that now she really is a little girl. Both my girls will now be in school full-time. I was excited for her, and proud of her, but still sad at the same time. Hopefully this sad feeling will pass soon.
My Favorite Things Saturday - 23/06/07

2 Peas Sunday Blogger Challenge
Join us today/Sunday if you blog. Challenge: What other creative talents do you possess, besides papercrafting? Share your passions. Blog about it.. what else are you good at?
I have a couple of crafting passions besides scrapbooking. It is funny though that they come in spurts. I'll get on a kick to complete 1 project, then I'll move onto something different. Scrapbooking is the only passion I constantly stick with. I also do counted cross stitch and knit. Right now I am making this 4 season wreath. I tend to do other crafts for relaxation, to de-stress or unwind.
