that some other people are loving this show as much as i am...i need a "plain mommy" makeover...


that you are all enjoying teacup month as much as i have organizing it.


what a week. aiayaya. i'm glad it's over, but also sad to see august is almost at an end. where the heck did summer go? we had a better day yesterday and a lot of that had to do with your sweet comments on wednesday's post. you guys are the best. thank you so much for all of your kind words. hugs to all of you who were also having a crappy, bad mommy day :)

this weekend i plan to go shopping for some fabrics and a few notions to get caught up on my sewing to do list and maybe a little surprise for the site! tomorrow (sat) i'm excited to announce that i will also be returning as a guest on the "real parenting" radio show on C-FAX 1070 with host amy bronee at 10:30am so tune in! if you aren't in victoria you can also stream the show from the C-FAX website.

the hubs finally finished school until october now. man, oh man, am i tired and so is he. it's nice to know he doesn't need to do homework at night or study on the weekend...it's just family time. mackenzie has been having some issues with the phone this week and i've decided it's time to nip it in the bud. do any of you have any tips to try out for when your 3 year old transforms into the devil as soon as your phone rings? i'm serious, it's scary...she is not my child when i am on the phone...hahaha, and then i swear as soon as i hang up she wants nothing to do with me. what the heck is that all about???

what are your weekend wishes? any fun plans? i plan to do a bit more thrifting this weekend if i get the time. if any of you are readers that live here in victoria, bc where is your fave place to go on the hunt? i'm getting tired of the overpriced goodies at value village. don't get me wrong, it's fun going there, but i have to admit the prices just get higher and higher every time i go. i still feel new to victoria and don't know of many other good secondhand shops (the salvation army's i've been in have been horrible). i'd love it if you could share your favorite haunts....

p.s. i hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thanks for all your comments last week about the cable dilemma. we are still undecided....but i'm leaning in the direction of cancelling. your thoughts all helped a lot.
