My Favourites

So I do not eat these items on a regular basis but I do not NOT eat them.  For me it is all about balance.  Eliminating anything from my menu only leads to binging.  My favourite junk food is:

Anything chocolate! In particular Reese PB cups, Crunchie chocolate bar, Lindt chocolates, mint chocolate anything. (Something sweet with tea is a must).

Any ice cream that doesn't have fruit

Ringlos

Salt & vinegar chips

Original Doritos

Chocolate cake with French vanilla icing

Cheese cake

Raspberry pie with vanilla ice cream

Cotton candy!!!

Coconut anything except the water! It's gross:(

Shhh don't tell her!

Last week Noelle was away in Antigua so... I raided her closet.  She was voted Best Dressed in high school so her wardrobe is awesome!  Great style!

Really it was that I missed her.  I visit her and her family at least once a week.  So by wearing her clothes it was like I was visiting her all day long:). That's my story, at least that's the story when Noelle realizes I still have a few of her clothing items!

Thank you to the ladies at work who complimented me on the clothes.  Sadly, they have been returned:(

Have you ever....?

Have you ever changed your furnace filter?  You yourself not your man or handyman.  It was on my list of to dos but it kinda scared me.

I got some help via texting and exchange of photos.  I am embarrassed to say I hadn't changed it since last March after I'd been shown how to do it...

But I got it done and will not forget to change it every 3 months:)

Thankful for...

New friends:)

Random Robyn

So I changed Sundays to Robyn's Randomness from Dear Diary.

Also look to the right and you will see that I am now part of the Yummy Mummy Club!  Very excited.  I have written a few posts for them under the name Robyn Perras but now many more people will have the opportunity to read my daily blogs.

This is my Facebook link:

Here are some random tips:

Wet boots?  Blow dry them.
Daphne's boots kept getting wet so we would put them over the vent or even in the dryer but they still were not getting dry.  The hair dryer worked quickly.

Freeze it:  Whenever I buy the prewashed spinach I always take some and put it in the freezer.  All the leaves freeze individually and then I can grab some whenever I need it, for smoothies, spaghetti sauce, soups.  It is better than the frozen brick of spinach you buy from the freezer section.

What I watching:

We do not have cable so we stream or use Netflix.  This is what I have watched:

Suits (yummy:)

Call the Midwife

The Walking Dead** I put off watching this one, even had to turn off the first episode because it scared me (a wee bit) but then I watched 3 1/2 seasons and I love it!!

Recitfy

The Blacklist

Homeland

The Goldbergs (hilarious)

Girls 

 

Smoooothie

Throw in the blender:

Measurements need not be precise:). I have this a least twice a week for breakie.

A cup of milk

Throw in frozen mix berries

A few tablespoons of any yogurt OR a couple of tbsp of powder milk

A few frozen leaves of spinach (I freeze the spinach I get from the grocery store for salads)

Sometimes:

A couple of carrots but then add a capful of vanilla extract ( it will reduce the veggie flavour)

Blend it all until smooth.

Enjoy

I would wear this...

I would wear this if it was on a t-shirt but it is not (yet:)).

I commissioned an infamous graffiti artist from California to come and do this on Breton's bedroom wall.  

Ok really it was my friend Natasha's husband, Ranz.  Who is an awesome, self taught artist (checkout his sketches/tattoos on Pinterest under Ranz DC).  He is from California but is in the process of moving here.

He created and completed this in approx two days (7 hrs)! So fast and so good!  

Ranz had a special assistant, who checked in on him every 10 minutes.

I am so jealous of his natural born talent!

I gave this to Breton as a Christmas present but it was up on his wall, mostly done when he came home on his birthday!! 

Original sketch

Thx Ranz

This tattoo next?
