Tiny Happy Tuesday VII

I wish I had an excuse for missing Tiny Happy Tuesday last week, but I don’t. Regardless, I’m back this week with a few tiny happies to share:

  • Slo-pitch started back up on Sunday and although we lost both of our games it was great to be back on the field with my team. A good chunk of us have been playing together for over 5 years now, so it’s like being with family in a way.
  • We have new countertops! There’s a few kinks that need to be worked out but I’m seeing past those and I’m happy with how they look. It’s so hard to get a feel for things when you’re only given a little 1″ sample chip, so I’m relieved!
  • My friend had her baby on Monday and he’s the sweetest little peanut <3 My heart is melting and I cannot wait to meet him!

That’s about all that comes to mind right now. What’s making you happy today?

It’s weird. Things have been crazy busy and yet not. My downtime has been spent being a complete couch potato and I’ve been feeling uninspired to blog anything of value.

Regardless, here’s a quick little update on what’s been going on this week!

A high of the week was receiving some pretty amazing customer service from lululemon! Long story short, the zippers broke on two of my favourite hoodies/jackets, and they offered to give me a full refund via e-gift card so I can shop online for some replacement gear.

A low of the week was losing out on putting an offer in on a great house because we hmm’d and haw’d about it for too long. Ugh.

An internet find I loved was this video of two guy blocking in someone who accomplished douchebag status with his parking job. (As it turns out, it was totally staged, but more people need to do this to bad parkers!)

 

 

The best money I spent was new sandals for Isla and I. Can’t go wrong with BOGO 50%, right?

My favourite Isla and/or Norah moment was Norah harnessing her inner cat:

She fits, she sits. ;)

 

A song that has been stuck in my head is “Believer” by Imagination Dragons, and also the entire Moana soundtrack. (“What can I saaaay except you’re welcome!”)

My meals of the week were steak kabobs with mushrooms, peppers, red onion and zucchini, meatballs, tomato and spinach pasta with Italian sausage, fried chicken and chicken wings with potato wedges.

My plans for the weekend are prepping the kitchen to have our new countertops installed(!!!), taking Isla to a birthday party, having Mommy & Me photos taken with my mom and the girls, and slo-pitch!

What’s exciting in your life?

Tiny Happy Tuesday VI

  • My slo-pitch team got together for a practice on Sunday and it was great to be back out on the field. The season officially starts on the 16th and I’m looking forward to another great year of ball.
  • The sun is showing its face more and our backyard has dried up enough for me to put together the climber I found on a local buy/swap Facebook page. The girls loved playing on it so I’m happy I was able to snatch it up!
  • I started a VarageSale page for all the baby stuff I’m purging out of my house. There’s so much to list and while I’m still putting individual items and lots in separate buy/sell Facebook groups it’s nice to have this option as well for friends and/or family.
  • There are a little less than 20 days until the Boogie the Bridge race and I’m nervous/excited for it. Isla will be doing the kid’s 1km “race,” I’ll be doing 5kms, and Kyle will be doing 10kms. Isla’s been looking forward to this one as she gets to “chase” a clown, but I think she’s more excited for the Blackwell Dairy 3km Fun Run as there’s ice cream for her at the finish line ;)

That’s all for today. What’s making you happy?
