Day 5

My Siblings

I am lucky to have one awesome brother. He’s three years younger than I am, so we’re not super close, but close enough where he can call me when he needs help with something and vice-versa.

Aren’t we adorable? I love my too-long shirt and weird headband.

When we were little I was always stealing his Lego and he would steal mine. We’d also get into fights over video games and anything we felt like fighting over.

It’s weird being the older sister and watching him grow up. Really, it just makes me feel old. He’s still trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life, but I’m always there when he needs help with registering for university, buying books, or something else.

My brother is pretty awesome, and I’m glad he’s mine.

Babies, Zombies and Cupcakes

Posted in Fab Finds, Friends, Photos, Shopping, Weekend Update by

This past weekend, I had Saturday off and it was devine! I had booked if off because my amazing bestie B was going to be in town. After a delicious breakfast of McDonald’s with Kyle (don’t judge us!), B came and picked me up. Kyle also got to meet my (our?) cutey pa-tooty niece Lilly and it was adorable! He looks quite comfortable with babies, but don’t tell him that! ;)

B, her fiancé and I headed out to the mall to shop for some new fall clothes for Lilly at Please Mum and I found a cute little long-sleeved onesie for her, so I bought it. The lady at the check-out was certain that I’ve shopped there before, but I most definitely haven’t! Anyway, after Lilly clothes shopped, we checked out the bookstore across the way and I found this:


I almost, almoooost, bought it, but figured I’d never actually have time to cross-stitch my heart out any time soon.

Oh, and I also stumbled across a yummy looking cookbook that made me think of Angela:


There were also about three other cookbooks right beside this one based just on cupcakes! In the end, I kind of went with the opposite route and bought Jillian Michael’s Yoga Meltdown. I’m not going to lie, I’m a little afraid of it, but I’m looking forward to it! My plan is to start once we move because our living room is nice and spacey. (And carpeted, so I don’t have to buy a yoga mat) I figured I’d try yoga at home before I go and try out a class, because I’m rather uncoordinated. That way, I won’t be completely embarrassed if I do go to a class!

We also went and looked at shoes for fun, where I stumbled upon pint-sized gladiator sandals:


These, I think, are unacceptable. Baby shoes are suppose to be cute, not fashionable! Right? Or at least not ridiculous. Oy.

Kyle and I also went and bought a coffee and end table today, as well as a bunch of kitchen utensils and glasses. We’re so excited to move at the end of the week!

I’ll leave you with a photo of my little Lilly, because she’s adorable!


Happy Monday! How was your weekend? And sorry for the crappy camera-phone pictures!
