Starbucks Holiday Flavours

I'm super excited [though my wallet might say otherwise] -- holiday flavours are out at Starbucks!

Can I get a woot! woot!

With so many yummy flavours to choose from, it's hard to pick just one.

Today I'm Cafe Mistoing it up -- grande, non-fat, light foam, bold, peppermint, cafe misto. Could my order get anymore crazy? Well, yes, yes it could if I had asked for it extra hot, but I forgot.

Peppermint Cafe Misto -- Mmm, like a warm hug from the inside!

What are some of your Starbucks favourites?

Tall Boots

Now with leggings making a come back (and me finally accepting the 80's all over again), I've been admiring my friend Sheba's tall boots for awhile now. They are a fun, flat boot -- aka mom-friendly.

If you have been following my blog, you might remember that I bought a pair of tall boots last year. I thought they fit when I bought them but after smushing my foot into a pair of boots that are half a size too small, I've come to terms that I need to let them go and invest in a new pair.

Enter, the Bay.

I happened to walk by the shoe section yesterday and staring at me was a pair of Chinese Laundry tall boots similar to Sheba's pair and on sale for 25% off -- woot woot! Bring on the leggings!

Boo! Halloween 2010

Halloween was quite the event this year!

Lucas really got into the excitement of ghouls and goblins, even requesting the house be decked out in scary decorations. I've never been big on Halloween decorating but I seem to be getting more and more into it as well (oh, Dollarama, how I love thee). The things we do for our kids! He also discovered if you hit the townhomes, you can cover more homes faster. Oh Lucas!

This was the first year Bella made a costume request -- Hannah Montana, of course. I knew one day we would have the best of both worlds.

And I got to wear my wedding dress princess costume again.

Hope everyone else had a spooktacular Halloween!

enjoying some peanut M&M's. I've had a craving for the last few days and finally got some!

Wall Bling

Recently, the question, "What do you have on your walls?" came up. We don't have much wall space in our house as it's fairly open concept, but I've managed to fill most of the wall space we do have.

What do you have on your walls?

frustrated that the colours on my blog look a lot different on my PC than on my Macbook. They looked better on the Mac. Back to the drawing board. Blog decorating is so much fun, and a lot cheaper than house decorating!

back from ice skating with the family -- our Wednesday night ritual.

Picture Wall

I finally got around to adding some pictures to the wall going up the stairs. No nails this time. I found a new love - 3M Picture Hanging Strips. They are awesome! Make sure to use the proper amount of strips for your frame. I found out the hard way. Thankfully there was no broken glass.

I am...

home from watching the movie The Killers with my girlfriends and full from wavy Lay chips with French Onion dip, a glass of white wine, Balsmic Vinegar and Sweet Onion Miss Vickie's, Junior Caramels, another glass of wine, Sweet Chili Crispie Minis, more Lay chips but with Helluva Good Dip because we finished the first dip and then finished the night off with my last sip of wine. Oy, my belly! Can I just say, what a waste of two hours....the movie that is, not the food or the great company. Hmmm, just realized we forgot to eat the cupcakes.
