What Brings Me Joy....

14 December 2018 No comments
Since I did not get myself in gear on Monday and actually post I decided today I would link up with the Blended Blog and make a post on what brings me joy. I think it is rather fitting during the Christmas season even everything (more like everyone) I will be talking about bring me joy all year all....





My family of course would be the first people/dogs I have to mention because I don't know what I would be or do without them. I also don't want to post a thousand pictures on this post so know if you're a family member of mine reading this even if you don't see your pretty little face I love you.





My extended family aka friends. The quality of friends I have is very high...this is why I consider them family more than just friends because they are people I have handpicked to be in my family, who I love and couldn't imagine not having them in my life even if we have busy lives and do not see each other enough. 


 My work family...I'm lucky enough to actually truly like my work family. There is never a dull moment with these folks and always lots of laughs. 

Now, I'm going to just bring it back into more of a Christmas mode...Christmas in all sense of word bring me joy. This time of year I get to look back on Christmas memories that I wouldn't change for the world, wish for new great ones to be made and hope for many more to come. 

I have one favor to ask everyone who is reading this post...let the holiday season bring you joy, don't let the crazy consumerism, rude shoppers, Christmas Scrooges take it away. Be in the moment, spend time with the ones you love, remember the ones you lost and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Getting There....

26 October 2015 1 comment
Well this whole back to blogging thing is coming slowly but it is coming! I do want to blog but I'm having a hard time stringing the words together how I like them! Which in blogging/writing can cause quite the problem! But alas we will power through this and get back to normal as soon as possible!

I'm in my final two days of being 31....as of Wednesday morning I will be 32! I honestly don't care about aging because it happens and you can't fight it! Well some people try to and we can all tell who they are! I can say my life is not where I thought it would be when I turned 32 but I'm very happy and I know everything happens for a reason. If other plans had of worked out I would be doing what I love and my life would be very different. For my birthday, we having a family dinner on Wednesday and then on Friday myself and my momma are going to see from the curling Masters in Truro. I'm rather excited because I haven't been to a curling event in a long time, should be a really good time. Then on Sunday again with my momma I'm going to see Travis Tritt and I can't wait! It is going to be such a good time! I have loved Travis Tritt since I was a little girl. It is great getting to go with my mom too because she is really the reason I listened to him in the first place. Plus, she had a lot to do with my birthday so nice to share this stuff with her :)


Also, today I'm linking up with Meghan and Biana for Weekending with....I have to say I didn't have the most exciting weekend! But, I will give you the details anyways! On Saturday I had to work until lunch time. I did my sister's hair and one of my cousin's came in for blow out. Then, I went to lunch with Erica (sister for those who don't know) and I had a lovely greek salad! I'm not sure how you could go wrong when you have feta cheese on something! So yummy! After that I came home and chilled and honestly did nothing for the rest of the evening! I told you my weekend wasn't exciting! On Sunday I helped get my dad ready to leave for up north again. He will be working up there again until maybe mid December. If any of you have kids and need to get Santa their letters we can ship to my dad and he can deliver them! Yes he is almost that far up north! Erica and my mom took him to the airport so I had dinner and hung out with Chase (my brother) for the evening. I don't think I need to include today since I cleaned and did laundry! But honestly Monday are my Sundays because I don't work on Mondays. Sadly they never really feel like Sundays but I will take it!

Anyways I hope you all had a great weekend! What are everyone's plans for Halloween?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Weekend Update!

21 July 2014 1 comment
What? Is this really happening? I'm actually giving a weekend update on Monday!! Miracles never cease to exist! I have to say I love summer weekends, yes I know all weekends are awesome but there is something but summer that just makes them better. This is probably because I love summer so much. This weekend was a lovely weekend full of family, friends, laughter, happiness and sun! 

This weekend I was lucky enough to be able to celebrate my friends' wedding. Myself and my friend Megan were also happy to do the hair and make up of the wedding party. Thanks for trusting us to that Natalie! Not that I'm bias but she looked so beautiful! The day was great! I got to spend the morning with the wedding party before rushing home to get myself ready for the wedding. The ceremony was lovely and everything seemed to go off without a hitch. The dinner and dance was great, the food was very good! It was a buffet of salmon, salads, beef, seafood chowder and biscuits. There was an assortment of desserts along with cupcakes. All of it was delicious! Then of course the dance was super fun! There was five of us there together from high school and we were all each others dates so it was a girls' night at the wedding and it was a lot of fun. The DJ played some great music and we danced most of the night away. Here are some pictures from Saturday.....

My hot wedding dates Andrea, Lydia, Danielle and Laura

On Sunday we headed down to my uncle Bill's cottage for some BBQ. My aunt Marjorie and uncle Paul are home for a visit so we all went there for a nice meal. I love being down on the shore and they have great spot down at the cottage. We all had a nice evening together and I got some good pictures on the beach. It was a great weekend and I hope you had a great weekend too. I will leave you with some pictures from Sunday evening.

Christmas Countdown Day 11! Memories

23 December 2013 No comments
TWO DAYS! I'm so excited for Christmas. I have everything done and I'm ready for everything. Today, I thought I would share some of my favorite holiday memories. 

I have so many amazing memories from past holidays I don't even know where to start. My parents always have made Christmas a special time, I can't remember a Christmas that was not amazing. You know some our traditions from my Friday post and those traditions have made for some amazing memories. 

One of my favorite memories is when myself and my siblings would all sleep in my room and this was not even that many years ago. We would all cozy up in my room and watch a Christmas and fall asleep. It was fun to all wake up together on Christmas day.

I also love the memories from when I was kid and we had to wait until mom and dad went downstairs got the Christmas lights on and Dad got the video camera going. We waited at the top of the stairs until we got the go ahead to come down and Chase when he was little would always bolt down and be so excited. Sometimes, I wish I could be a kid again just for those moments.

Another Christmas memory is from Boxing Day when we would all go to our grandparents house for dinner with my dad's side of the family. We would get to bring one or two of our new toys to bring with us (until we were too old for toys). We always had a kids' table too! I think on my dad's side we will always have a kids' table. My cousin Lauren who is the oldest on my dad's side joked she would be 40 and still at the kids' table. Though she was joking I don't think she is going to be wrong. 

I love all the memories and old stories that come up at Christmas time. It makes you remember what Christmas is all about, the time spent with your family and friends. It is the memories made not the presents your tree. What are your favorite Christmas memories?











 
I cannot believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! YAY!!

Christmas Countdown Day Ten! Christmas Traditions

20 December 2013 No comments
FIVE DAYS!!! FIVE DAYS!!! Yup, I'm getting far to excited for Christmas! And yes I know I'm 30 years old and not 5. I have always loved Christmas and I always will. Today, I thought I could talk about Christmas traditions because most of us have them, at least a couple. As I don't have my own family yet, I get to do all the lovely traditions I have done since I was child every year. I will probably still have some of these traditions when I have my own family too. 

My favorite tradition is our family gathering on Christmas Eve. All of my mom's side of the family comes over for a potluck and it is amazing. I have to say it is my favorite meal of the year. We normally get together mid-afternoon have some drinks, chatter and then gorge ourselves with delicious food. Seafood casserole, meatballs, ham, chicken, salads, potatoes, rolls and desserts! Then, everyone goes their separate ways to other families, church or just home. Normally, after we get everything cleaned up it is time for another tradition of going for a lights drive. It is used to get all of us but now it is just me, Erica and Chase. Mom stays home to make her pies for Christmas day. After that it is time to open one gift. The rest we open in the morning. I love Christmas eve almost as much as I love Christmas Day.

Christmas day is always the same too, up to open presents well stockings first then presents! Then of course breakfast/lunch followed by naps! These once were basically just for mom and dad but now we all love them haha Christmas dinner is spent with my great uncle Jerry from my dad's side of the family. It used to be my grandparents too but sadly both are no longer with us. This dinner is of course turkey and all the trimmings. My momma is one amazing cook and thankfully for her this daughter is a great cleaner. After I eat such a big meal I can't just sit so I normally clean up with some help from Erica and Chase.

Oh, how I can't wait until next week! What are some of your family traditions? Love hearing how everyone enjoys the holidays.

See you on Monday for Day 11!

Weekend Update!

23 September 2013 1 comment
Ready for the weekend baby! Oh wait it is Monday! How did that happen? This weekend flew by! And yup you got it right not one picture to show for it! I did take some pictures of some stuff I bought yesterday for instagram so you can check them out on the sidebar. I really need to get better at my weekend picture taking. And, yes I know I say that a lot!

Anyways, lets get back to my weekend! Friday, I went to see Prisoners with my family because my brother was home and we talked him into going to the movies! This is probably because none of his friends were home! Just kidding he likes spending some time with us. It was a nice evening out with everyone. The movie was good but I have to say it was long too long for me. I did like it but they honestly didn't have to make it 2.5 hour movie! Great acting in the movie though! On Saturday Erica, Chase and myself voted before we headed to Halifax to take Chase back and so we could check out Target, since it just opened on Tuesday. I got the cutest slippers from Target and they were only like $12. I could have gotten a lot more but I decided to hold back. The only thing I'm sad about is that they don't have ELF. I was looking forward to being able to get more ELF make up brushes since the ones I have are quite nice and totally doing the trick. We got to spend a nice afternoon with Chase shopping before dropping him off at his apartment. After that we went and did a bit more shopping and then headed off to dinner with my friends Danielle, Deena and Gavin. Erica's friend Johnny also joined us for dinner at Jack Astor's. It was great meeting up with them because I hadn't seen them since Danielle's wedding in August. Good food and good company! That can't help but be a good night! After dinner, me and Erica hit up Starbucks before heading back home.

First official day of fall and it basically felt like summer for most of the day! We decided to clean out Erica's car like cleaning it out, vacummed and taken to the car wash! It is all nice and shiny now! Other than that I didn't do much I have to say! I was being lazy and I liked it! haha I did watch the Emmys and I will have a Emmys' fashion post for you tomorrow.

I'm going to wrap this up now because I will just be rambling even more if I don't stop now. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Weekend Update!

26 August 2013 No comments
Can we for one second talk about the fact this is the last Monday in August!? When did this happen? Where did this month go!? Honestly, it feels like last week I was getting ready for Jubilee and Danielle & Anthony's wedding! And I'm more sad that means summer is almost over! Summer is my favorite so I'm kinda bummed but that just means Christmas is around the corner and we all know how much I love Christmas!!

Okay, so this weekend wasn't eventful at all! I have to say I didn't mind because most weekend this summer have been jammed packed! On Friday, I went and got my brow did! Man, is there anything better than having your brows freshly done!? I love it! Then I had a little play date with my friend Danielle and her little one Quinn! I could eat Quinn up she is so freaking cute! On Friday night I ended up going to dinner with my parents and my aunt Bev and uncle Bill at Hebels'. It was lovely! The meal was fantastic as always! It was also nice to have a meal with my uncle and aunt because we haven't been able to do it much this summer. Saturday I was totally boring! I stayed in bed until late morning watching Criminal Minds and then Good Luck Charlie! Yup, that is what you get when you're almost 30 and still like the Disney channel haha Then I cleaned the house and laundry for most of the day. I also got caught up on my Real Housewives of the OC! We are finally starting the reunion episodes this week I think! I can't wait! Sunday, total lazy around the house kind of day because I finished what I needed to do on Saturday! 

So, that right there in a nutshell was my weekend! Hope you all had a nice weekend too :)

Today we are getting real.

15 August 2013 11 comments
Okay last night on Twitter I said I was getting real on the blog today because I don't often get overly real on my blog! I normally like to keep things light and fluffy but today my kind friends were going deep! I have to say unless you're a member of my family or someone close to me you probably have not heard this story in full. I know I have mentioned it before because I have done lists of facts about me but telling the whole story doesn't come easy for me because I have to say it was the scariest time in my life. 

I was told I had cancer. I was told I would probably need chemo to shrink the tumor before I could have surgery to remove it. 

Now, lets back up to the beginning of this story. My sugars were messed up and that is a sign of PCOS (if you don't know what that is look it up because I don't feel like explaining it) and my sister has it so my doctor decided to have me checked for it. I first went for a vacation to Dominican because I was like I know I don't have it because that was the only sympton I had that could be linked to PCOS. When we came back from vacation, I went for my ultrasound to see if there were anything on my ovaries. The tech who did it was lovely but of course couldn't tell me anything. I went to see the doctor and I was then scheduled for a CT scan...Okay I have to admit I was little freaked out because I was thinking well they must have found something. I was told they just wanted to double check things. Having a CT scan is freaking weird! You hooked up to an IV thing so you glow inside and whatever it is in the IV is makes you feel like you wet yourself! Yup, not the most pleasant thing. When I went to my doctor to get the result of course my momma came with me but my doctor hadn't listened to the report yet so he quickly listened to it when we were there on phone so we couldn't hear anything. When he was finished, he again picked up the phone and called a specialist, it was end of the day so he was hoping the receptionist was still there. She was and my doctor proceeded to her I needed an appt with the doctor as soon as possible, she told him something and he said no, do you have anything tomorrow. Now, I'm freaking out because why do I need to have an appt with the gyno specialist so soon!? Since my doctor isn't a specialist he basically said hope for the best but prepare for the worst. So could be nothing or could be cancer. This all is happening right before we are getting ready to leave for Erica's graduation. I won't lie it was a restless night. Next day myself and my momma are sitting in another waiting room waiting to see the specialist, he told us there was mass/tumor attached to my ovary that was about the size of grapefruit, before it could be removed it would need to be shrunk a bit. This meant a round or two of chemo. He said things would be okay and explained everything we asked about. I was hoping he would do my surgery since he was family friend but I was being sent to Halifax. I was off for more blood work before going home so it could be spent to the specialist in Halifax. The woman who took my blood, who wasn't much older than me told me she was a cancer survivor and I would be fine. This woman made me feel so much better. On the way home, my mom and myself talked about everything and it was decided I would get one damn great wig if I needed chemo. When we got home, Erica was taking off for her weekend celebration with friends before her graduation on Monday. I have to say I felt awful all this happening when we all should have been celebrating her accomplishments at university. 

It was long weekend for us but we had a nice day on Monday at Erica's graduation and when we got home we had good news, the gyno specialist (family friend) called and said my blood work came back excellent. Any bit of good news right now was amazing! On Wednesday I was headed to Halifax to meet with surgeon/specialist who would be looking after me. She was my shining star! She didn't want to say for sure but she didn't think I had cancer! She didn't mention chemo and didn't mention anything bad! She said yes you have a mass in there but it just doesn't look like cancer to me. Even though it wasn't for sure it was like a weight had been lifted off me. She booked me for surgery in two weeks and we headed home feeling much better than we had coming up. The next Wednesday I had my pre-op and the next Wednesday I had my surgery. If you want to feel like you're 1000 years old when you're 25 have your stomach cut open! Walking is not your friend. To be honest other then laying on your back nothing is your friend. The nurses and doctors I had were honestly amazing! There was one nurse, she had a unique name so I can't even try to spell it but I don't think I would have been able to make it through a couple of nights without her, mainly because morphine made me an emotional wreck! My parents and aunt Mary were with me the day of my surgery, Dad went home at the end of the day and momma and Mary stayed with me. Dad was coming back on Friday because they said I would be released on Saturday or Sunday if everything went well. Everything was going really well but I wasn't on the right floor since we requested a private room so when my star doctor came in she said sorry but I was being moved. In the end they was probably for the best because the nurses on the floor I was moved too were better at taking care of me because they dealt with my kind of surgery more. They also gave me morphine every four hours instead of when I asked for it. They didn't want the pain to get ahead of me which was great but this turned me into a crying fool. I cried when Mary had to leave to go home even though mom was with me and dad was back on his way. But all in all everything was great and I got to go home on Saturday!

It was a good 4 weeks before I could most things, getting up and down stairs was awful for most of that time but they said it was good for me to move around. Doing even small things for the first 6 weeks tired me out so much having a shower required a nap after it. But everything was worth it when Dr Rittenburg called me to tell me there was no cancer! It was my ovary that had torn off and had blown up like a balloon! So, now I'm down an ovary and have a 10 inch scar from my belly button down. 

I don't know how some people deal with their illnesses with such courage but I'm in awe of them because I don't know what I would have done if that call had of been different. My world crashed when I thought I might have cancer but it was quickly pulled back up with the knowledge and support of my wonderful specialist in Halifax and all the people around me. My family was amazing through everything. Friends were great (especially Nathan who came to visit me in the hospital). The most thanks goes to my momma who was there every minute, the one who took care me when I couldn't do most things for myself, the one who took the brute of my frustations because I couldn't do anything for myself, love you mom! xo

Okay, I'm gonna end this now because it is the longest blog I have ever written! Remember to smile and don't take anything for granted! Love you all and have a cookie if you made it through this whole post!



Summer BBQ....Weekend Update

12 August 2013 No comments
Hello My Lovelies, sorry I didn't blog much last week but I really didn't feel like blogging and I was having some writer's blog! I had some ideas of what I wanted to write about but I couldn't get anything into a post! But, we have new week and I'm ready for it! I can't believe it already the 12th of August! Where is the summer going? Honestly it feels like yesterday it was May and were having my dad's 60th birthday party and now it is almost time for back to school, fall, my 30th birthday etc! CRAZY!!

But lets get back to why we blogging on this lovely Monday! Weekend update! Friday I headed to Halifax for a quick trip to pick up stuff for our family BBQ on Saturday. It was a just a quick trip up to Costco, the mall and then we had Montana's dinner! It was a great meal!

Saturday we had our annual Pitts Family BBQ. It was great fun as always! Honestly we never have a bad together. There is a lot of little ones right who are adorable and they make the days even more fun now. We had great food, swimming and entertainment! My cousin Ben and uncles Mike and Lance always bring their guitars so the entertainment is always top notch from them. 





Sunday was a totally chill by the pool day! So I don't have much to say about that since I went out by the pool at about 12:30pm and didn't come back in until about 6pm! It was a great weekend though! Love hanging out with my family and just enjoying summer. Hope you all had a great weekend too!



Just Another Tuesday....

09 July 2013 8 comments
Hello My lovelies, I have been trying to figure out what to blog about today and I have to say not a bunch as jumped to mind. I had some good laughs at Faith's and Whitney's dating blogs today! You should probably go and check them out because they are excellent. I was hoping reading some other blogs would give me some inspiration for my own blog post today but alas something is keeping me from having anything good to write about so sorry if this is just a rambling mess!

Oh I will remind you on Thursday but I'm guest blogging over at Miranda blog! She is on vacation this week so yours truly said she would help out! If you want to know some of my summer staples are you should head on over there Thursday :) Miranda has guest bloggers all week so check it out for them and keep checking her out when she is back from vacation!


The heat wave we had over the last week has finally broken! Yesterday was a lovely day and today was pretty great too nice temp and sunny skies! Sadly it is suppose to rain tomorrow! Fingers crossed it is nice again on the weekend. Fingers double crossed for a beautiful day on Sunday because I have a bridal shower to go to in the city. Can't wait to see Danielle, Tiana and Deena!

Okay I have rambled on enough for one day so I will leave you with a song for Tuesday Tunes! This is actually my cousins Ben P and Ben M with my uncles Mike and Lance :) Enjoy!



Happy Tuesday Everyone! xo


This Weekend I...Weekend Update

08 July 2013 4 comments

Hey My lovelies! Sorry I was such a slack blogger last week but I just wasn't feeling it and I was busy with other things! Also, it was too hot to be inside last week! We had a bit of a heat wave and I was in the pool most of the time!

 source mine


I wish I had more to talk about but honestly I laid by the pool all weekend because it was too hot not to! It was like 40*C all weekend. I love me some heat but it was muggy and we all know I hate it when it is muggy! But since I was able to lay by the pool all weekend can't really complain! On Friday night I did go to dinner with my family at Hebels and it was delicious as always! Saturday, was another pool day and we had some family over! We ended the night with a lovely BBQ too! BBQ is one of my favorite things about summer! My cousin Ashdenne made a greek salad and man I love greek salad so freakin good!! She made a watermelon salad with mint and feta cheese but I don't like watermelon so I didn't have any of it but the ones that did try it liked it a lot :) Sunday was yet another spend the day in the pool because of heat. Family visited again and it was good day. Myself and Erica went to dinner at Salt Water Cafe for the first time this season and it was as good as always. Once we got back from dinner we headed to our aunt's house because she got a new puppy! Belle is a black lab and she is adorable!!



I hope you all had a great weekend and are having a great Monday even though Mondays never seem to be great :) xoxo

Happy Monday! Stay Classy Bloggers!




Weekend!

29 April 2013 3 comments
I have been trying to post all day but I honestly kept getting sidetracked! I spent much of day cleaning out all my clothes! I have two HUGE bags of clothes for donation and one bag of shoes! I still have way too many clothes and I still have to get out my summer stuff but it feels good to have gone through everything and know what I have I actually like and wear! Plus I think we might be heading to Boston in June so gotta make room for some new clothes! 

Anyways, I guess I should tell you about my weekend since that is the point of this post! On Saturday, I went to lunch with Erica and then hit up Wal-mart for some make up browsing! I watch EmilyNoel on Youtube a lot and she is always talking about Wet and Wild which is never a brand I look at because I feel like it is the cheap kid stuff! But I bought one of their eye liners because it was like $2 so if I hate it, it was only $2! I actually haven't tried it yet because I was lazy yesterday and today with my make-up! But I will let you know what I think of it! Saturday was a pretty chill day because it was kinda chilly and cloudy so we really just hung out and watched it most of the day! Oh I did a BUNCH of laundry on Saturday too! Always nice to get that stuff done.

Sunday was a great day! Nice and sunny! I love that it is finally starting to be spring! It is only almost May! But from the looks of the weather forecast we are moving nicely into spring now! I opened all my windows and emptied my closet out onto my bed! I didn't think it was going to take me two days but with my closet and dresser there was A LOT to go through! And I have to admit I took quite a few breaks to go and sit outside haha That may have caused the organizing to go awry on Sunday but today fixed that up! All done just have to drop the bags off for collection! :)

Kind of a boring weekend but it was nice for me, my brother is home from university for the summer now so it is nice to see him again. He has a girlfriend now so he didn't visit home as much this last semster so I didn't get to see him as often. Oh and the parents are home from Dominican! They are so nice and tanned! They had a great time which is great! I'm still jealous I didn't get to go away this year! Whatever I'm going away somewhere next year for sure! I will go alone if I have too! Well not really because that would be a really boring vacation! 

Okay I'm done rambling now! Hope you're all have a great Monday and have an amazing week! Love you all!

xoxo

PS Is it totally bad I want to listen to Christmas music right now? lol No I'm really not kidding!!

Linking up With a new link up this week! And of course with Sami! Check out their blogs because they are amazing! Time for bed now! xoxo
