Featuring Giftfully Simple.

I do not remember exactly how I came in contact with Courtney, all I know is that I had a pressing question about well.. blogging issues and Courtney was very kind enough to help me with my dilema at the moment that I most needed help.

Courtney is a mom,a blogger,a social media addict,the founder of tweetplosion and the designer of the 'Original Changing Clutch™'. She is also the owner of the online boutique 'The Apple of my Eye' that carries the cutest kids items (trust me I know).

Right now,there are two HUGE giveaways going on Courtney's blog: first the 20th century Fox and Paper Shouts giveaway and the second is the 'See Kai Run' Giveaway. The 1st prize for the 20th century Fox is a DVD from the movie BRIDE WARS and gift certificate from www.PaperShouts.com, the grand prize is a trip to Cancun and there are also other prizes like movie paraphernalia!

There is too much to say about Courtney and all that she does so to get to know her head on over there and check out her blog; her giveaways. Hurry up though, the first giveaways ends on May 8.

Attack of the Capital V..

My house has been plagued with the big 'V' or big 'T' however you want to call it..it is mostly my 5 year old(it's not gastro though, I just think the child ate too much of a good thing yesterday);so there has been a lot of bathroom runs, cleaning up and washing bed linens.. I am pooped.
But since I am finally feeling the SPRING air here in Montreal, here is a little quote:



"Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

Earth Day.

Today is earth day, so here are some tips that even the least earth conscious person can follow for a greener tomorow:

1. Recycle, Recycle, Recycle.
Get a couple of green recycle boxes for your house, it makes it easier when tossing things you can just flip the plastics and cardbord stuff in your bins

2.When not in use turn of the lights.

3.When bruhing your teeth use a cup full of water instead of letting the faucet run.

4.Think twice before pushing the PRINT button of the copier/print machine


Happy Earth Day!

Bye Bye Lumps..

They are officially gone! My lumps, my bazookas whatever you want to call them, have officially deflated. I have never been one to covet thy neighbors assets but lately I have realized that I am on the shorter end in some areas.

After having a baby (or babies in my case) most women usually think about how they are going to loose the weight and get back to their original goddess selves; that was also my case a couple of months ago. After baby #2, I was sure that things would never revert back body wise.. well, I was right; don't get me wrong I did loose the baby weight but I surely did not get my old body back.

I only had set myself up to loose some of the weight as I am not a fan of the size small (on me) and I really do like a litte junk in my trunk (the hubby likes that VERY much too) but for some reason all the exercises and yoga streches did nothing to revive the shriveled and flat lumps and chompas; but I am not one to despair nor give up 'I will get my lumps back!'.


At least one person is cute and chubby in this family
