Hi guys! Another week has come and gone again. Thankfully it went pretty quickly since I’m unfortunately back at work now. I miss my holidays already.

1. Celebrating 100 Blog Posts! 2. Homemade mozzarella sticks and mushroom caps from Catan Night 3. Settler’s of Catan 4. Celebrating 200 Followers!

While this week was pretty uneventful, the past two nights were busy! On Friday my husband and I went to one of my best friend’s houses for a game night. We played Cards Against Humanity and Clue. It was fun and a nice way to relax after the work week. Continue reading →

Hi guys! It has been a little chaotic around here so I haven’t been as on top of posting as I would normally like to be. Tis the Season, right? I’m hoping to get things better under control and resume regularly scheduled programming this week!

Hi guys! Yet another week has come to an end!

On Monday, I went for coffee with an old friend that I hadn’t seen in awhile. It is so nice to catch up with someone and have things snap right back into place as if time hasn’t passed. I feel like with old friendships you can either pick up where you left off, or one of you has changed so much that it becomes almost hopeless. It was really great to see her and I hope I see her more in the future!

Hi guys! Another week has come to an end. I feel like I keep saying this, but honestly I don’t know where the weeks go.

I didn’t really take any pictures this week. So, here is a picture of my dogs cuddling on Thanksgiving!

This week started off with a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with my family. It was delicious as usual! I love Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving leftovers, I got to enjoy my mom’s stuffing and gravy all week. Yum!

I also had another lovely coffee date with one of my best friends and her adorable baby boy! I always enjoy catching up with them.

After the Thanksgiving-food driven week I had and now that I’m feeling better, I have been getting back into working out again. I had a little break from the gym when I was sick, but now I’m ready to get serious about it again.

My husband and I are still playing Diablo III with one of our best friends, so we had another epic gaming session last night. I will be really sad when we finish all that we can do on that game. It is great!

This afternoon I went for a nice walk with my mom around Boulevard Lake. The weather was fairly mild and we enjoyed some great conversation and exercise!

I hope you all had a great week!

xoxo,

Robyn

Hi guys! I’ve been quite sick the past week so I didn’t really do much this week. I did a lot of resting, and I started watching Gotham with my husband. There really is nothing like Netflix when you’re sick.

Remembering Peaches

This week though, was a significant one, or at least it was to me. This week was both a sad week, and a happy week. This week marked one year since my dog, Peaches, passed away. I miss my little princess every day so it was a hard day.

Happy Birthday, Dex!

Happy Birthday, Dex!

On the happier side of things, on Friday this week my dog, Dex, turned one! We got him a few months after we lost Peaches to make sure that our other dog, Max, would have a companion. Max was really lonely and sad, and adding this little fluff ball to our family was a great choice. Every day with Dex is an adventure and he sure keeps Max on his toes. We love him very much and he is a great addition to our family.

On Saturday I was finally feeling a bit better so we went to a friends house to celebrate her birthday! It was nice seeing friends that we hadn’t seen in awhile.

Well… that was my week! I hope you all had a great week and are staying healthy! It is definitely the start of cold and flu season in Thunder Bay! If you are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend, I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my husband, my dogs, my friends, my family and YOU! Thank you for making the first (almost) three months of this blog such a great experience. I love interacting with you via the comments, reading your blogs and coming up with new content to share with you.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Let me know in the comments below!

xoxo,

Hi guys! I hope you all had a wonderful week! Mine just flew by.

My week started out with a trip to the Terry Fox Monument. My husband and I were talking about how we hadn’t gone together in awhile so we took a short drive there to enjoy the view. This was followed by a trip to Merla Mae for an always delicious ice cream cone.

I also had another coffee date with one of my best friends and her baby. This is seeming to become a regular thing and I’m really enjoying that. You really do learn who your real friends are in life and it is so important to spend time with them.

This week was another one of my best friends’ birthday. She had a little get together at her place to celebrate which was full of great food, and great times. We spent some time playing with her camera and sparklers which ended up creating some awesome pictures.

Today my husband and I decided to take a drive out to Kakabeka Falls to walk around and enjoy the view. The weather was absolutely beautiful today so we thought we should take advantage of it. It is places like this that remind me why I love living in Northern Ontario.

I hope everyone had a great week! Let me know if you did anything interesting in the comments below!

xoxo,

Robyn
