Good afternoon everyone,

It's been awhile since my last post and I wanted to fill you in on what Owen and I have been up to.

We have been keeping warm indoors lately, on the verge of a little cabin fever. I've been living in London for the past 7 years and this has to be the coldest winter here that I have experienced.

Instead of skating or playing in the snow, most of our evenings have been spent watching movies, baking, or playing board games. Our favourite game is still Candy Land but we have switched out the gingerbread men to replace them with shredder and ninja turtles.

Owen is forever surprising me with his quick witted comments like " after you toots" when we were coming in from the grocery store, and the sincerity of what comes from a 4 year old's mouth is indescribable. I'm still tying to write down all of his sweet little memorable comments but how life changes and becomes so busy!!

This year so far has had a great start. The same main focus on family, my friends and what's to come for me outside from my most important role as Owen's Mom.

I hope so far this year has brought you happiness, love, strength, determination and drive. I hope along with me that you'll accept any challenges that may come your way, we will overcome them, and grow.

Happy week to you!

Suzanne

Busy making changes to my blog. Xox :)

Life is funny, isn't  it?

Tonight I came across a blog post that spoke to me, it was almost as though everything I have been thinking was neatly laid out for me, written  by someone else who had my thoughts placed in their mind. I could relate to this post in every way.

She wrote about how she hopes her readers realize that this blogging that we do, is edited. We keep a lot of our private life private – not everything needs to be shared.

 I am always boasting about how great my little Owen is because most of the stories that I write about are the fun/good times I share with him. I try not to hold on to the bad days, which I do write about as well, but they are a lot less frequent.

I love Owen more than life itself. He isn't perfect, and I am far from it, but I rave about how much I love him—because this life with him, is perfect to me, it is everything I could have wanted and more.

 When I started blogging, most of my stories were past experience and wonderful memories I have created with Owen, and luckily some of you were able to connect with me in some way through your own experiences that it made you feel good to know that someone else is going through the same thing, but as much as I do not blog about it, I go through the same ups and downs as most of you.

 I appreciate all of you , my readers, I feel lucky to have you following me on my life journey, if there is anything you would like me to post about, or advice, I am always wanting to listen to each of you so feel free to email me.

I almost feel that I need another weekend after this one as it was so busy!

Friday I went to the movies with Owen, his best friend Vanessa and her mom Amy. Saturday I had my grandmother over and we made Kombucha, homemade cabbage rolls, and chicken paprikash. Sunday Owen and I drove to Toronto to see the Riley's Aquarium which was incredible! We arrived home in London late last night, I warmed up some hungarian leftovers-- the best, and fell into bed.

Below are some photos of our weekend :)

Yesterday I received a beautiful statement necklace in the mail from Viva La Jewels.
