purees

My little sunshine has a good appetite.
Down the list we have rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, barley cereal, pumpkin, carrot, green bean, apple.
Tomorrow : banana !

short hair

You know the story.
When you have long hair, you want short hair and when you have short hair, you want long hair.
I know that I am not about the cut mine since I have been growing it for a long time but I still like to dream that I would look that cool...
- took this picture from this very cool blog.

lamps

Every time I go to Winners, I swear, I could buy a lamp.
Of course, since we don't need that many AND my husband would not appreciate!
But when they are only 14,99$, you just have to buy it - even when you don't need it !

time for us?

M and I have been super busy with the boys.
We are not complaining since we love them that much.
But every day we wonder when we will have time for us a little bit.
Mom, do you want to babysit soon?

isn't Mater the cutest1

I love the look of Mater.
I have always had something with a gap between the teeth!

This is one of the many cars that Mateo has received lately.
M has found a little trick to get Mateo to poop. (Everytime, he poops, he gets a toy!)
We are up to 100$ already!
Yep !
But it's working...
Free trains are on the way from Nana's house.  That will help...

sick

got a big cold again.
have been in the house for the last 4 days.
i can't say that I have missed going out that much.
it was fun to do a bit of cocooning.
happy that Luca nor Mateo caught it -despite the many kisses...
hope to feel better soon though...

makes me think

jeanne

coveting this new smell.
not sure if I like it yet.
will have to try it again.
it is so hard to find a new smell.
i have been dreaming to go to Holt Renfrew for the last weeks.
maybe i'll squeeze it in this week.

Pink Tartan

I never buy really expensive clothes but one day in my life, I would like to splurge on an expensive really cool outfit like this one by Pink Tartan.
But where would I go dressed like that!? :)

i miss watching movies

In my single years, I used to watch a lot of movies with Jojo.
When Oscars night came we had seen them all.
I think we even dressed up on year to wath them...did we?!!

This year, I have seen two of the movies being nominated.
I saw The Kids Are All Right last week in bed in front of my computer (thanks Elias !) and I so loved it.
And I saw Incendies last Sunday with my hubby and I keep thinking about it.
I cried a lot. 
That's what happens when you see movies with mothers and their children. 
I also thought of Elias who had been through those crazy times in Lebanon and I also thought of my brother who is in Afghanistan.

Jojo, Elias and Luc - could we watch Oscar night together if you are free on Feb 27th?
In the meantime, I'll try to see a few more...

home alone with Luca



Today was a great day.
I was supposed to run some errands but decided to stay in with my buddy.
I had the time to fold some clothes, iron, take pictures (of this new cool bowl I bought) but mostly spend time alone with my champion.
I even had time to blog a bit during day time.
Yeah !

in the kitchen again

Spending a lot of time in the kitchen lately !
I love it !
Discovering new recipes...Soups, meats, quinoa, pasta, vegetables in different ways...
And I have been good - not too much chocolate, no cookies, no ice cream...I wanna fit in those old pants of mine...I am so close....
But today I could not resist, I had to make something sweet!
Chocolate pudding - cookies - bananas and sprinkles.
It was gone in no time!

are the teeth coming?

Luca chews on this star non stop and drools like crazy !

best soup I have eaten in my life

No joke !
It's called New Year Noodle Soup.  Even the name of it is cool.
For the recipe, go here.

Jamie was in my kitchen

 
I'ven been cooking up a storm lately!
Trying lots of recipes.
I love it!

Lasagna - good but will not do again - too expensive and mine is better!
Bread pudding - will do again for a brunch - for sure!
The marmalade makes his superb!
Red cabbage - German style - simple and good!
Bacon and fennel seeds - yam !
The bomb !- a keeper for every Christmas
We decided it will be our holiday tradition.
So amazing. So spectacular.
