My Son is 7 today and pretty funny!

Why did God make mommy?

1.-She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.

2.-So I can have dinner every day because I’m still to young to cook

3.-Mostly to clean the house.

How did God make mothers?

The same way he did for fathers except prettier.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

Describe the world's greatest mom?

That’s easy! My Mom!

What kind of little girl was your mom?

1.- She looked like me only with longer hair.

2.- Oh and I guess she would be pretty bossy. 

Is anything about your mom perfect?

I think she’s already perfect, but she keeps on asking for boobs, I don’t understand why, they are useless! 

Aren't these answers funny?! I had this conversation with Arthur a while ago and I was thinking, I Have the greatest kid ever! 

"For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me petition which I asked of Him."

 1 Samuel 27

 Today he is 7. You've changed a lot this last year, but the more a watch you grow the prouder I get. My heart melts with your lovely smile and the sweet words you always have for me. You love me unconditionnally and to your eyes and heart I am the best mom ever.

You pray God every night to help me out in my daily life and I pray Him to make me more like you: kind, loving, forgiving, generous, funny, honest and sweet.

I love you Arthur!

Thank you for making me a better person.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!

Rain...

 

Can you believe that it’s actually summer right now? I don’t, June has begun and rain is still here. While I try to remember that the rain washes away all things, and makes things clean again, it often makes me want to just stay in bed, with a good novel and some warm coffee and sulk.

As the days passes I’m looking forward to my well deserved break. 5 weeks of break! This hasn’t happened to me since I finished High School! That will be the time to just stay late in bed, enjoy every moment spent with my Other Half, kids, parents, friends and family that will be visiting…

Rain reminds me that sunshine always comes after, and that makes me smile…

Les Miserables - I can't wait!

Are you excited as I am to watch this movie ?!

I read “Les Misérables” when I was 15 years old and completely fell in love with the story. I really hope this movie will pay a beautiful tribute to Victor Hugo.

Enjoy the trailer below and the incredible actress Anne Hathaway. Looks like this actress really committed to her role when you see how skinny she is!

Midnight in Paris...

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you must! It was just that good! I’ve always loved Paris and though I’m only a train away from this beautiful city I haven’t been there for over 5 years!

After watching this movie, I just want to stroll through the streets of Paris and eat French macaroons. I want to seat at a terrace and read a good novel while sipping on an espresso with a pain au chocolat.  

I want to go to the Musée d’Orsay and watch for hours my favorites Degas…

I want to go to the Eiffel Tower and just under it, share a romantic kiss with my Other Half .

I want to escape this fast paced life and just enjoy life for a couple of days…

6 more weeks and I will be free as a bird! So why not take that time to simply do as I wish?... Yes why not? ... :-)

ENJOY THE TRAILER BELOW!

Thoughts...

The great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzerald.

I Quit!

What a beautiful feeling, a sense of freedom!

No that that it's done; I can concentrate on the future!

Remember that post a little more than a year ago about how I was going to take control of my life again and seek out things that made me happy and fulfilled? Click(Here).

Well, today was the first big step. I owed it to myself to move on… I had been reassessing the situation for months and always came to the same conclusion; this job is making me miserable… I tried, I did, really. But even with all the prayers I made and the effort I made to try to appreciate this job, I was still feeling very unhappy.

I got a call on Monday saying that the job I interviewed for  a month ago was mine if I still wanted it and by the end of yesterday, I had made up my mind and I felt so relieved. Moreover, my Other Half has been a 150% behind me and I’m so thankful to him for that.

The great news is that this new job is really a great opportunity, and after my 6 weeks’ notice at my current job, I’ll still have a month and a half of well deserve break before starting at my new job. I’m glad I won’t have to start pulling my hair out trying to make a decision.

I’m planning on celebrating by drinking copious amounts of wine while Other Half will just watch me go a bit neurotic…

And of course, this would not be a real celebration I did not treat myself with  a nice pair of shoes, bags, and clothes (what?! A girl needs to look perfect in this crazy corporate world I’ll be entering!)…because that’s just how I roll, YO!

Mom...

MOM

I love you for all the times you picked me when I was down.

For all the times you traded your warm smile for my frown.

For all the times you brushed my hair and tucked me into bed… Or needed something for yourself and put me first instead.

For all the dreams that we have shared, the tears and laughter too.

I love you Mom with all my heart…

There’s no one quite like you!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU!

YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION AND I HOPE MY KIDS WILL BE AS PROUD OF ME WHEN THEY GROW UP AS I AM OF YOU!

I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS!
