happy new year

only a couple of minutes to write before the little one wakes from her nap.

spent an amazing 5 hours at the spa this morning. am rested up and now i'm more in nap mode than party mode (story of my life!). looking forward to the canada game tonight and a few drinks with friends afterwards. will see if i actually make it past midnite this year!

happy new year everyone! all the best in 2010!

i did go!

sorry for the confusion. just wanted to clarify...i DID go shopping on boxing day! my BFF and (shopping) partner in crime said she read my post and was surprised that i didn't go. i did go and i spent way too much money!! i even went shopping yesterday and managed to buy a chair for our bedroom. perry's response was, "do we need a chair for our bedroom?" my response, "no, but i think it's perfect!" I DON'T NEED ANYTHING! i think i should repeat this over and over and over...something has to work!



wasn't able to spend a full day at work. came home to look after the kids while perry goes to the canada game. hoping to make it in tomorrow. still doing paper work from trade shows in october. it never stops! 2010 trade shows start in january so we better get this stuff done before we have our next round of purchase orders to enter in to our system!

someone is pulling on my arm to get me off the computer and watch hannah montana!

gotta run,

boxing day

who was brave enough to face the crowds today? i'm not sure that i've missed a year of boxing day shopping since i was 13 (maybe younger?!). even when i worked boxing day, i managed to scour the stores for the best deals during my break! i did find some really great things that i definitely don't need! the crowds certainly don't scare me...i guess you could say i was born to shop!

tomorrow is another day...another few stores i wouldn't mind hitting that i didn't make it to today. perry & i have "an agreement" over the holidays as he has tickets to ALL the world junior games. i'm sure you know where i'm going with this!

aside from shopping, i have been enjoying season 5 of LOST. i bought it for perry and we're almost done! i think we've watched in 3 nights. so addicting! anyone have a suggestion for the next series we should watch? i've heard dexter is really good.

going to bathe the kids and get them to bed- so i can watch the rest of LOST and rest up for tomorrow's activities!

disgraceful

i feel horrible- haven't written for so long. things have been so busy this holiday season. the store has been hopping, our online store is up & running and we've been filling orders, we had our staff holiday party on saturday night and now all i can think about is how i am going to relax over the holidays.

we don't celebrate xmas so the 25th is always a low key day for us...highlight being an annual "shopping trip" to the 24 hour shoppers on 8th! i did get a gift cetificate for a day at the spa so i am trying to figure out when i can use it (that doesn't conflict with my husband's junior hockey games he has tickets for).

i did want to mention that we are giving away a $50 gift certificate (in-store www.cravingsmaternityandbaby.com or online www.shopcravings.ca) to one of our facebook fan's if we reach our goal of 838 fans by december 31st. help us reach our goal and you will have a chance to win!!

wishing everyone who celebrates, a very merry christmas!! thank you for your business this year!

a night off

i am so tired and can barely keep my eyes open...but i don't want to go to bed because i am enjoying the peace and quiet in my house. i don't often have time to myself so i have to savour every minute! i am seriously so sleep deprived i am forgetting conversations i have had with people. that's usually becca's specialty, not mine! anyway, i am feeling a bit recharged this evening as i have refused to do very much work (it is never 'no work'!).

back to the grind tomorrow and sunday, in hopes of finally having this project completed. we are so ready for this phase to be done. sorry for keeping you in suspense for so long! we hope you're not disappointed!

some exciting developments with our dining room. i think we've decided on a table. perry & i both love it. now we're on to chairs. i think we're going custom. there are a few features i would like in a chair and can't find anything perfect. i can't wait to finally have a dining room!

i am looking at the clock realizing that it is probably in my best interest to go to bed.

have a good weekend!

holiday shopping party!

i seriously don't feel like i have a minute to write this blog. we have been working around the clock to get this project done that are are hoping to announce VERY SOON! i haven't come out from behind a computer for days...argh!

actually i guess that's not true...becca & i managed to tear ourselves away from the project for 2 1/2 hours last night to enjoy our annual holiday shopping party! we had a blast....line-up started 15 minutes before we opened and we had a wait at the till for an hour at one point! i just about fell over when saw the line go all the way back to the end of store and wrap around. thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our fabulous customers. enjoyed seeing you all again (now that we spend most of our time in the office)!!

have a good night!
