Andrew and my Girl had a play date set up with a neighbor. There’s a little boy named Cole who lives a few houses down and his Dad and Andrew decided to arrange a day at the park. So they arrive at our house to pick Andrew and my Girl. Andrew says to our daughter, “We need to go to the toilet before we leave.” He takes her by the hand and starts up the stairs.

My Girl pauses, looks down at Cole and says, “You pick up my blocks…please.” Cole’s dad smirks good naturedly, “At least she said please.” Yup, she’s ordering boys around already.

Something May Be Seriously Wrong…

Recently my Girl had to go get some shots. She was super brave about it by hopping up onto the exam table and even holding out her arm for the doctor. She smiled through it all until the huge tears came when the needle went in. Then, 10 seconds later she was giggling again.

Now, every morning when she wakes up she hopefully asks me if we’re going to get shots again. And is incredibly disappointed when I say that we aren’t. Then she asks if we’ll go tomorrow, and again is disappointed when I say we’re not. Something might be wrong. She might like pain a little too much. Maybe we should get that checked out……

…then again, it might have something to do with the chocolate Kinder egg she got as a reward.

Day two in Ottawa was windy, can you tell? It’s odd to sit here looking at these shots now that I’m back. It feels ages ago, though it was only three days ago. I guess that’s what a busy and tiring weekend will do to you. I’ve had the pleasure of having three great photo shoots booked this weekend, so needless to say, I’m knackered! But excited about editing and getting some Spring cleaning/downsizing done.

You guys doing Spring cleaning? Any tips???

Busy few weeks coming up for me. For everyone it seems. Spring, right? Rebirth, awakening. It seems that everyone is moving suddenly and doing something. Which is great. I just wish someone would let the snow know that. As in, “Hey, Snow, it’s Spring now so get your butt outta here!”

Moving on…

I had a client scheduled for a shoot yesterday morning. I woke up early and left the house early in the morning as well, ensuring that I would have plenty of time to set up and test all my gear. You know how we all revert to the tried and true uniform of comfort when it’s early and we have a very limited window of opportunity to get ready? Well this is pretty much mine: jeans, nerd tee, boots, scarf, and cardigan. Oh and of course I had no time to do me hair, it’s still super straight from a few days ago.

There you have it folks – full disclosure.

Epic fail as a fashion blogger. That’s what this Winter has caused. I’m wearing the same warm winter boots in every outfit because that’s the only thing that I can wear without my toes freezing off! How sad is that? Plus, my shots – excepting today – are mostly just outside my home as it’s way too cold to travel far for some inspired backgrounds. And finally, there’s perpetual red nose on me *that I could photoshop away, except that I’d like to stay honest with you guys* from the bitter wind.

I’m sooo way past ready for Spring.

Have a great weekend. See ya for more red nosed, winter boot outfits.

Toronto is currently engulfed in it’s third *third!* polar vortex! What’s up with that? I mean as much as I love Star Wars, and pretended to be Luke’s other sister all through my childhood, that does not mean I want to live on the ice planet Hoth. For one, there’s a serious drought of cute clothing options. Two, the only way to stay warm is to crawl inside a Wampa. And three, the Empire eventually will invade. Can please move on to the much nicer moon of Endor, with the Ewoks, those guys know how to throw a party.

So my lovely girl gives Andrew an order, as she tends to do. He turns to her and playfully answers, “Yes Boss!” To which she promptly and seriously, like she’s explaining the state of affairs to someone who so clearly does not get it, replies, “No!! I not the boss. Mommy’s the boss!!!”

I have taught her well, my young Padawan. *that’s a Star Wars reference in case you don’t get it*

Going Poo

Baby Girl. Ugh, we’ve been trying to get her to go poo on the toilet. Which is a lot harder than it sounds. She holds onto it. She will go first thing in the morning before we get her diaper off, or hold it all day and go at night once the diaper is back on. No budging what so ever. So after giving up that struggle, we have bought a little bag of chocolate and reward her with a treat when she goes poo on the toilet.

Now she holds it and only goes a little bit at a time. Getting thrice the number of treats. She’s a scammer that one. She’s way smarter than us.

Confession Time

Confession time, as I think you’re due. I don’t usually talk about my health and such on the site. But I’ve been fighting an infection via antibiotics for a couple weeks, and last week I was hit really hard with something. My fever and reactions were so bad, Andrew was told by the doctor that if it gets even a wee bit worse to race me to emergency or call an ambulance. Luckily, things turned that evening and since then it’s been a slow and steady climb towards health. Not 100% there yet, but enough that I managed a little run last night.

This is not to get any pity, just a truth moment as to why I’ve been absent on the site. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that my outfit changes have involved changing from sweat soaked pajamas to fresh pajamas. So I’ve also had nothing to post.

Lastly, being perfectly honest, this outfit is from just before I was hit hard for my week long stay in bed. Hope you guys have a great Monday!
