we're hiring!

great news at cravings...nicole has accepted the management position and she will be starting her new role in september! also some sad news as carson leaves us to return to her university studies. she will be missed but we're hoping she'll come back and work a few shifts here and there...hint, hint!!

anyway, lots of changes at cravings and we're looking to hire a new team member! if you are outgoing, enthusiastic and reliable and are interested in working part-time or full-time hours, please drop off your resume to rebecca or jordana.

lazy day

what a lazy day i am havng today. weather is very gloomy and i don't seem to have any energy. i am listening to layla talk away in her crib while she is trying to fall asleep. both kids' sleeping schedules were really thrown off while we were away. layla has been sleeping in until 9am trying to catch up. i'm hoping they get back on track soon. the routine will start again tomorrow when i go back to work and they go to daycare.

so, layla turns 1 on friday. i can't believe it! my parents are coming in to celebrate and then i think we're going to have a backyard bbq when our yard is done. lots of birthdays and our 10 year anniversary to celebrate this year. just hope our backyard is done before september so we can do this!

going to try and get a little nap in right now while perry is playing in the basement with ryan...maybe no one will notice!

home sweet home!

we're back and i'm ready for a vacation after our "vacation". layla slept a total of 30 minutes today...2o on the way to the airport and then we had to wake her and 15 on the way from the s'toon airport home. we got home and we were running around trying get things unpacked and somehow she hit her eye on the corner of ryan's piggy bank and she cut it open- poor baby! at least we are home now. nothing feels better than walking in to our house after being away. it actually even smelled new when we came in today...i love being home.

so, i was anxious to see all the work that happened over the last week. the stone work is not complete, but very close. not much left to do at all...i'm thinking 4 more weeks...ha! guess i will touch base with them on monday and see what's up. got a letter from our fence company that we need to get all our lines marked. i've offered perry the job of making all the calls...good luck with that. guess i have another job to add to my list!

anyway, i'm going to read my metropolian home mag that came in the mail while i was away and go to bed!

good night

one more day

on the last leg of our holiday. supposed to be 30 degrees today. layla woke early this morning so she's aready down for a nap. perry & ryan are at the pool and my family should be meeting us in about an hour. i love vacation but it's just so much work. guess that's why it's been a year and a half since we've been anywhere...hawaii was our last trip and that seems like forever ago. as layla gets a bit older, it'll get easier...we're already talking about a couple winter vacations this year...i'm definitely not making the mistake of sticking around for an entire saskatchewan winter after the last one we had.

looking forward to dinner at my bros tonight...and maybe a few cocktails! also looking forward to a few drinks on our new patio some time in the (near) future! i'm hoping they have the stone work complete when we get back. this 2 week project has somehow turned in to 4 weeks, which will soon turn in to 6 weeks i'm thinking. oh well, it's looking amazing and we'll have most of the summer to enjoy it.

hey, stay tunes for the launch of our new website...becca "tweeted" that it should be live today!!

have a good one

sunny days

the joys of vacationing with a babe...i am in the room right now while layla is napping and perry, ryan, my parents and my brother are all at the pool. i was strategic with calling the morning nap...it's supposed to be 27 degrees at harrison hot springs this afternoon! we are going to enjoy a day in the sun followed by a picnic and fireworks.

it's a good thing we are away from any sort of shopping as i've officially entered retail rehab...i mean seriously ridiculous amounts of shopping took place in vancouver...but it was so much fun!

have a great canada day!
