Friday Favourites

We celebrated Q’s birthday on Monday.

I got up early to make pancakes for breakfast.  I also had to take E to his Grade 9 overnight camp for 7:00 am. 

I asked Q what he wanted for his birthday dinner - his requirements - something he likes, doesn’t take too long to make, and not to heavy.  So it seemed like tacos fit the bill. 

Get it in ya!

I got to go out for lunch this week at Daphne.  It is so good there! Highly recommend for a weekday lunch or happy hour.

On Wednesday I posted about a few of my current favourite things including this little sunscreen I got in Paris. 

Busy weekend ahead - some end of season t-ball parties, and some baseball clinics as we think about net year already!!  E is going to his school football game tonight with his friends.  And the Blue Jays will get started in their playoff run, let’s go Blue Jays!

Linking up with Andrea and Erika

Little Joys

Here are three nice little things that I enjoy using:

I got this sunscreen in Paris. The friends I was travelling with knew all about the special things you can get at French pharmacies. I didn’t really know what to buy and I had just started another skin care regimen so I didn’t really need anything new.  But then I decided to get this nice little facial sunscreen.  It smells so nice and I love putting it on everyday after my cream.  It wasn’t expensive but feels luxurious, and it reminds me of our trip. 

If you have a retainer or mouth guard (and you know you do!! Haha), you should invest in this little beauty.  I got it for Dave for Christmas last year, one of those gifts that I knew I would be using too.  It’s the Zima Dental pod. I use it at least once a week to clean my Invisalign night retainer and it comes out sparkly. We just use the Polident tablets for retainers, not the special tablets that come with the Zima. 

I love spraying this Linens spray around our room to freshen it up. I also have the yoga spray to use on my workout mat in the basement.  The scents are lovely. 

Just some nice things :)

Weekend Recap

Whew, what a weekend! I had a busy day at work, and then quit a bit early to run a few birthday party related errands, and after I picked up Q from the Y (no school last Friday) we made his birthday cupcakes.  And Q and I watched Angels in the Outfield and then some of the Blue Jays game. Dave was golfing and E was just downstairs having golfed earlier in the afternoon. 

On Saturday morning I got up early to ice the cupcakes and then I drove Dave to the golf club for the mens’ closing tournament and dinner. 

Then we went downtown to meet my friend Cindy and her nieces who were in town for the weekend.  We found a quick geocache before going to the restaurant. 

Nice to have a quick visit.

That night Dave and I went to a party at our local social club.  

It had a ‘90s theme and the band played some great ‘90s covers.  I had such a good time dancing and singing. I still know all the words to those songs.  I was more of an R&B, rap, teeny bopper fan in high school, but since then I have come to appreciate the Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, and Rage Against the Machine so I could sing along with those songs too. 

We had Q’s birthday party on Sunday afternoon at Boulderz climbing gym.  Everyone did great!

Our humble set up for the party.

Say 6 - 7!! 

Q opened his gifts when he got home. 

Including a baseball card binder, so he and E set to work getting his cards organized. 

And more cupcakes of course.

We loved seeing the Blue Jays finish up the regular season with the American League East Title!! And also Team Europe taking the Ryder Cup. Big sports weekend :)
