Confession

I must confess I do not always make my bed. =P unless YOU are coming over.

Another confession: I haven't washed my hair for up to 5 days... Yes I showered!

:0p

PC Plus

So you all know how much I love Shoppers Optimum Points, well now Loblaws/Superstores/Independent stores have their own version.  It is called PC Plus.  You can get an actual card with keychain cards too or you can get the PC Plus App  https://m.pcplus.ca/

 With the app your card comes up on your phone and this is what the cashier scans.  Shoppers needs to get on board with this idea (admittedly they have me printing off coupons, this seems so old fashion these days).

With PC, they will send you deals for points based on what you frequently purchase, plus you can earn in store points on top of these.  This lets them quickly add up to $ you can turn around and spend instore.  Another feature of the app, is that it tracks and saves all your visits and purchases.

Hopefully Shoppers will go this way soon because Loblaws now owns them...

Happy 2014!

 

 

Happy New Year everyone!!

 

Hope your year isn't crappy!!

 

**Ya I know I have used this pic before but it cracks me up. 

Redo Robyn's Room

So as mentioned before redoing my bedroom is on my list of things to do for my house.  As you can see I have started to pull off the wainscotting panels.  I hope to reuse most of them in the laundry room/mudroom just to make it look nicer.  

The colours I was leaning towards were gray and yellow (a la National Geographics) or coral and gray but now I saw cream with a dark teal and really like it...

I will, no matter what use the chair rail to divide the two chosen colours but I plan to move it up; so it is just placed above the light switch height, 4ft approx?

The ceilings are high so although the bottom colour (gray or dark teal) will be mostly what you see when you initially walk in, the other colours (yellow/coral/cream) will be carried up quite high.

Can anyone say painting party?

Thankful for hockey!!!

So Breton has been participating in the Bell Capital Cup over the past couple of days.  His Competitive B White Raiders are 2-0! With a game in hand this morning...

The last game a reporter came and did this report about his Coach:

This year has been our first (Breton and I) experience with competitive hockey.  It has been a great opportunity.  Breton has enjoyed playing with his teammates (#peter, #connor, #sam etc), we have done a bit of travel (Jay Peak & Buffalo placed 2nd at both:), B has learned skills, time management and a bit about the behind the scenes of a team's dynamics.  He loves playing, that is the bottome line and with this team he has gotten the challenges he has needed, at the same time learning many new skills. 

Oh and he has had lots of FUN!  

Go Raiders Go!

For B & D: you are my everything and I hope I am doing a good job setting a good example and you are learning from my faux pas:)

For my family:  I love you soooo much

For my friends who are my family:  have a  wonderful time

Merry Christmas
