30 x 30 Fun: Week 4

I can’t believe four weeks has gone by already.  Time flies when you’re outside, I guess.  Here is what happened in week 4 of the David Suzuki Foundation’s 30 x 30 Challenge:

Friday

By Friday we were pretty drained of energy.  Little Man started getting sick and was pretty tired of being away from home/in his carseat.  We spent some time Continue reading

30 x 30 Fun: Week 3

Wow.  What a crazy week.  I apologize for the weird order of posts this past week, but I have been pretty busy lately with visits both at home and away.  We are finally back from our travels, so I wanted to fill you in on week 3 of the DSF 30 x 30 Challenge.

Friday

On Friday the Dreamboat started getting ready for his trip down south to Muskoka to help his friend M with a kitchen renovation.  At the same time I was getting ready for M’s girlfriend L to come to our house with her little one LD.  It was a pretty busy day, but Little Man and I managed some time outside in the backyard.

So-called weeds in bloom.

Fantastic Homemade Laundry Detergent

Because we are away from our neck of the woods for my Dad’s wedding (congrats Dad!), I figured I would pre-write this post just in case I couldn’t get a chance to write an update of week 3 of the 30 x 30 challenge.  If you are reading this I am far away from my precious Mac.  I will get back to reality soon.  In the meantime enjoy THIS post:

Fantastic Homemade Laundry Detergent

Waaaaaaaaaaay back in October I tried out a homemade laundry soap recipe that I found on Pinterest (originally from the site Tip Junkie).  It is now almost mid-June and I JUST ran out of the soap.  Because it lasted so long, was so inexpensive and worked so well, I wanted to write about it today.

30 x 30 Fun: Week 2

Finally we are all feeling better at our casa.  We got off to a shaky start during week one of the 30 x 30 challenge, but week two went so much better.  Here is what we’ve been up to lately.

Friday

We all breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed the weekend with open arms.  Little Man and I attempted the beach again.  I was way more prepared for playing in the water, and the sandy finale.  Little Man was a lot more energetic, although this time there were no kids around to play with.  He settled for watching some geese and goslings that were nested nearby (you can’t really see them in the picture below, but I promise they are there).

Pondering

Today is a day of pondering.

Little Man is pondering whether he loves Bunny or bananas most (can’t it be both?).

I am pondering whether to write a post today or get my booty outside (I’m leaning towards outside).

The Dreamboat is pondering whether his favourite wife is amazing or fantastic (a question for the ages).

What are you pondering?

30 x 30 Fun: Week 1

What a week. I was sick.  Little Man had a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday, and general poopiness the rest of the week.  And the Dreamboat had a huge project at work that took up most of his time and finally finished on Thursday.

We are all spread so thin right now I am sure we are translucent.

To fight back on the sick and tired, we tried our best to get outside as much as possible, even if it was only for a short time.  I promised pictures and an update on week one of the David Suzuki Foundation 30 x 30 Challenge.  Here is what happened: Continue reading
