Sunday Social with Ashley and Neely!

And another weekend is gone! I really think a three day weekend should happen every weekend or at least every other weekend. It was a beautiful weekend weather wise! Felt more like summer than fall. Loved it! Yesterday I was in Halifax so I could have dinner with my lovely friends and send off our little Tiana because she is leaving for Toronto on Tuesday. I can't believe  I won't be able to see her again until Christmas! But like I was saying that will be here in a blink of an eye! 

Today, was just homework and errands! Totally boring I know! So lets do a link up with Ashley and Neely again since I don't want to leave you with the most boring post ever! PS I already have posts planned for this week so you will see me more then once this week I promise :) 

Have a great week everyone!

1. What is your favorite magazine to read?

Hmmm I haven't been reading magazines lately but I would have still have to say Vogue or People because of love the fashion of Vogue and the celebrity content of People.

2. What is the best thing you’ve seen online lately?

This 'fight' between these little kids just makes me laugh and he just melts my heart....You poked my heart

3. What is your favorite celebrity to follow on Instagram or Twitter?

I know they might not be celebrity celebrities but my favorite people on Twitter at Nolan Thiessen and Ben Hebert. They are Canadian Curlers and I love them! They are funny, smart and entertaining!

4. Is there one article of clothing no matter what the season you can’t help but love?

Tank tops! I have so many! Easy for summer with some shorts and great for wearing under sweaters and cardigans in the winter.

5. Do you prefer email or snail mail?

I like both! I love the quickness of an email but I love the surprise of getting a nice letter in the mail.

Sunday Funday!

Sunday Funday! Or Sunday do laundry and homework all day! Either way I hope you're all having a great Sunday! It is lovely here today. The sun is shining and the breeze is delightfully warm. So doing this fall themed link up seems weird but I haven't linked up with Ashley and Neely in a VERY LONG time so I figured why not do it today!

1. What is your favorite part of fall?
My favorite part of fall is the crisp weather, changing colors, sweaters, boots and all that fun stuff. I'm going getting back into crafting in the fall too because I hardly take the time to do it in the summer since I would rather be outside.

2. Do you have anything special planned for fall?
Not yet anyways! Baby Leigh is coming in October/November so I'm excited for that but that has nothing to do with me planning anything haha

3. What is fall like in your area?
Fall is just fall here, crisp weather, farmer's markets and such.

4. What is your favorite football team to cheer for (college or professional)?
I'm not a football fan so I have no answer for this.

5. Do you decorate for fall? Show us pics!

I do decorate for fall but I don't have of it out yet nor do I have pictures of it from other years so you will just have to take my word for it :)

Hope you're all ready for another week! Have a relaxing Sunday evening folks!

It's Okay Thursday!

Today I'm linking up with the lovely Neely and Amber for It's Okay Thursday! I haven't done one of these in a few so I figured why not today since I was having some writer's block anyways!

      1. What is the best Valentine's Day you've ever had?

-honestly no one Valentine's Day is really standing out in my head!

2. What is the worst Valentine's Day you've ever had?

3. What did you do for Valentine's this year?

-went to dinner with my lovely sister and made heart shaped sugar cookies.

4. What is your best Valentine's idea if you're single?

-hang out with people you love, just because you're not a in couple doesn't mean Valentine's day isn't for you

5. What is your favorite Valentine's candy?

It is Sunday so we all know what that means! Another Sunday Social Link Up with Ashley and Neely!

1. What is your ideal way to relax?

I love New York City so there but also whenever my loved ones are :) Yup went cheesy with that one!

3. Who do you consider your biggest role model?

My parents, they are amazing people who have bought me and my siblings up the right way and they still love each other very much after 34 years

4. What does your life look like in 3 years?

I have no idea! I hope it is amazing though

5. If you could go back and change one decision, what would it be?

I don't live with regrets so I wouldn't change anything. Everything happens for a reason.

6. What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far?

Making the decision that England wasn't right for me and coming home knowing it was going to be okay even though I felt like it was the end of world at the time because it had been such a big decision to go. I know that is a little different but it was a huge deal for me in so many ways.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
