The Wedding Anniversary Countdown has Officially Started!

Other Half and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary on the 16th of this month. So, I thought I would start the countdown with a little bit of humour…

Enjoy and have a good laugh!

 

 

After almost 9 years together, I’m sure some of these thoughts are sometimes crossing my Other Half’s mind, and I’m grateful to him for his kind and loving heart… I’m looking forward to the many more years together to come…

 

And last but not least:

And if all the cupcakes looked like this...

In reference to a post earlier today…

... I wouldn’t resist indulging on these and would die stuffing myself… Oh, dear….

If The Shoe Fits…

Ok, Ok, mummy bought herself a new pair of boots but because mummy loves her kids and mostly because the kids are growing up too fast, I also went crazy on the shoes at Zara Kids for Arthur and Morgane…

Grey Ankle Boots  with Buckles for Morgane

And these Cool Brown Velcro Shoes for Arthur.

I wonder why my Other Half has decided to hide my bank card?....

If hamburgers looked like this…

… even I might have bite from time to time !...

I Love Autumn...

Autumn is my favorite season and soon we’ll be entering it… I love how fresh the air smells. How I get to snuggle up inside and enjoy an open fire or simply watch the rain fall heavy outside the window. I love autumn clothes - no wait! Scratch that! I ADORE THEM. I also indulge in hot cups of coffee. Marvel at the colors of nature surrounding us. and can't wait to jump through puddles and leaves with the kids. I love the crisp mornings. And the cool nights, when cuddling up under your duvet on the sofa seems like a perfectly OK thing to do. I love buying books and knowing I will have lots of evenings in to read them. I mean, really, what is not to love about autumn?!

I plan to curl up a lot this season and dive into stories and tales and be moved and inspired and amused.

 So as I am gearing up for the new season: meet my brand new boots!

From beginning of Autumn until the end of winter I spend most of my time in boots. So I don’t feel guilty at all buying these new ones, because I know they won’t be hiding in my closet. I’m already fantasizing on how I’m going to pair these lovely boots of mine with my clothes… Classic, cool, smart and the perfect height, I HEART them.

I also bought this beautiful square-shaped sweater at Zara. The advantage of being petite is that I can get clothes from Zara and Zara Kids and I’m not ashamed to say that this comes from Zara Kids! What?! A bargain is a bargain, and as I always says: “If it looks good, no matter where it comes from wear it!”

Add to this some comfy black leggings and I was off to go drop the kids at school and then to work….

Autumn, Oh how I’ve missed you!!!

For Arthur and Morgane...

"No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all; you are the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside."

Such a beautiful quote, it brought tears to my eyes…

Back to school is so cool Mummy!

This is the picture of the kids on their 1st day of school last year….

…. And here is a picture of them this morning.

Arthur is 1st year of elementary - Morgane on her 2nd yearof kindergarten

(notice how they have grown?!)

I’m going to try to take a photo on the same spot each year. This is my way of making up for the fact that I will never scrapbook and also, because I haven’t put actual photos in a photo album in more than… well never…yeah, I get lazy, I know…

While Other Half and I really enjoyed our time with them…it’s time for us all to have our own lives again. They were trying to kill each other at this point which, at some point, gave me the sensational idea to lock them in a room to duke it out and see who would be left standing. A cage match for short people if I may. All my bets were on Morgane :o)

I met Arthur’s new teacher again, she seemed very calm and very prepared so I hope that she willreally have the qualities that I was hoping for and that she will support Arthur the best way possible…

Anyway to all the parents out there, I hope you children had a fabuleous 1st day at school!
