Much Love Monday

It's Labour Day Monday! And, it's actually quiet in the house. S took the kids with another family to a park, so I've opened the windows to let the breeze in, plopped myself on the couch and I'm catching up on some emails and blogs.

Since it is Monday, I thought I'd add some much love!

These little dudes have been visiting all weekend. I guess they've found a spa vacation right in our own backyard.

We had our annual street party on Saturday.

My friend brought over these super cute pink lemonade cupcakes -- YUM!

Lucas and his friends had a candy stand at the street party with one of my favourite candies -- sour keys! I've been devouring these sugar delights all afternoon.

Speaking of leftovers from the street party, I used some veggies leftover from a veggie tray and some of the grilled chicken from the meat platter to make an oh how I missed thee stir fry. This used to be one of my favourite meals growing up at my parents house with white rice and doused (ok, maybe sprinkled) with soya sauce. I'm salivating over here. Is it dinner time yet?!

What was your favourite meal growing up that your parents used to make?

Hope you're enjoying your Monday!

Much Love Monday {coffee to start the day}

I'm always looking for a new K-Cup flavour to try in my Keurig [a much loved Christmas gift from the fam]. Coconut is one of those little things that make me happy, so when I saw Island Coconut staring at me from the shelf I had to try it.


Yum!

I'll be adding that to my list of faves that include Green Mountain Rain Forest Nut, Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee, Timonthy's Cinnamon Roll, Pumpkin Spice and Midnight Magic, Kona Tully's Extra Bold and a few others.

What's your favourite K-Cup flavour?

I buy my K-Cups from Markol Distibrution in Pickering, ON [they have other locations too]. Great selection and great price!

It's finally starting to feel like Spring! The temperature reached somewhere around 12 degrees today. The wind was crazy strong! I could hear the hum of the waves from the lake while standing on my front porch [one of my favourite sounds]. I managed to run a few errands and treated myself to the May Canadian Gardening magazine. My mind has been in gardening mode for the last few weeks now. I can't wait to get out there and start prettying up the garden! Not long now. Come on warm weather!

Are you loving something this Monday? Join in the love!
