Fill in the Blank Friday

Since there were a few requests for the fill in the blanks....



1.   This weekend I'm       going on our first camping trip with our little girl.

2.  My last vacation was    ?? I guess it would be our trip to Waikiki Beach back in November last year. I don't recall a trip since then :)

3.  My next vacation will be    a short weekend getaway. I'm hoping to go up to Ottawa since my hubby hasn't been there since he was a kid and Katelyn should meet a mountie.

4.  My favorite way to relax is   a good book in bed or on the couch, long hot shower or some hot freshly made popcorn and a movie.

5.  When vacationing one should always     be open to whatever comes your way. There have been a few times where hubby and I have stumbled upon a new trail or a new spot to check out.

6.  When vacationing one should never      Stress. Isn't that the whole point of a vacation?!?!

7.  The best part about a vacation are      new experiences and adventures. 

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Fill in the Blank Friday

Wow, it's been awhile since I've blogged. I've been busy and I'll catch you all up with what I have been doing. But first things first.....Fill in the Blank Friday... on a Saturday afternoon.



1.   The best prank I ever pulled was       can't say I ever pulled one off. If you know me, I am the worst liar...ever!

2.  The best prank ever pulled on me was    when a friend called and said he was going to quit his job and become a professional dancer. LOL. I don't remember if I really fell for that one, but you never know.

3.  A day without     good food and love     is a day wasted.

4.  The most important things in life are     I would have to agree and it's the people you love. Friends and family! The other stuff pales in comparison.

5.  I dream of     not having to worry about money, and be only concerned with where I want to travel next and what new thing can I show my daughter. And of course, have my own successful wellness clinic!

6.  I dread       going back to work. I have less than three weeks and it really is starting to hit me. Sometimes I can't help the urge to give Katelyn a super long hug. I won't be able to do that at work :(  But on the brighter note, she will be able to play with children her on age and interact with them....and so will I :)


7.  A discovery I made this week was       that I am still a procrastinator. Obviously not a new discovery, but somehow I will have to work on it.


Well that's it for now folks! Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful sunny day. Katelyn and I were outside for a walk yesterday. Spring is definitely here!

Fill in the Blank Friday





1. The TV show/website that I watch/read that I would be embarrassed to tell anyone about is
well, let's see. I am not real embarrassed about these show, but let's say my hubby and some friends think it's funny. I love shows that I can somehow pretend that I am living their privileged lives with their silly problems. For example, OC, the City, the Hills, Grey's Anatomy.

2. An item of clothing that is worn and torn but that I love far to much to throw away is
Yes, I can say I am a pack rat and love to collect a variety of things. My hubby jokes that I may be one of those cat ladies on Hoarders. Which I don't think is funny at all. These past couple of years with our limited space I am trying to cut down and actually clean up my act. But sadly, with clothes I do tend to hold onto them. I can remember where I bought them, like sweatshirts from Whistler or Calgary and items that I have received as gifts and who they were from. Yeah, it is tough, I guess I have a sentimental attachment to clothes. sad huh. But thanks to my hubby and my friend steph I am slowly learning to purge. Because....it means I can make room for new clothes!!!


3. My grocery store impulse buy is
magazines and chips!


4. Something I do at work to pass time that I wouldn't want my co-workers to know about is
check my email constantly and instantly put them into folders. Oh and my sister was on maternity leave before I left to go on mat leave, so I was always catching up with her and the kids.


5. One thing in my life that I could give up, but never will is
chocolate! I couldn't give it up!

6. A little indulgence that I have is
baked goods. During the winter months I love making them and enjoying them afterwards. And of course, wine!


7. The junk drawer/area in my house is
they have been reduced to a couple baskets here in there. And right now our pantry is crazy and I have to go in there and do a "clean sweep".




Happy Friday everyone and hope you all have a great weekend!
We have a busy weekend planned out for us. The last couple of weekends have been relaxing but it will be nice to catch up with everyone this weekend.

Fill in the Blank Friday

Happy Friday everyone! I know I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks, but as usual I was inspired and I was working away in the kitchen. I'll have to post more about that soon. Me and Katelyn have also been attending more playgroups during the week so she will get used to being around other people and babies. Though she really never has a problem when she is, but I'm worried about the whole separation anxiety. And I have been keeping up with going to the gym. Slow and steady on that front! But hopefully I'll be back at a routine when I get back to work .. Ugh! So hard to write :)

Well enjoy the fill in the blanks and have a great weekend!





1. If I could only read one magazine publication for the rest of eternity,
I would choose Yoga Journal ( I find it totally uplifting) and Whole Living (for the recipes).

2. If I were to run my own magazine it would be about Nutrition and Family.


3. I buy my magazines (at the grocery check stand or via subscription) Subscriptions. I love getting the snail mail even if I was the one who set them up. I love getting them as gifts too!


4. I prefer my magazines (in print or online) IN PRINT!. Though I do love getting the online newsletter so I can have a wide variety and it doesn't take up all that much space in our small place.


5. The number of magazines I buy each month is zip. Though I have at least 4 subscriptions.

6. My favorite magazine genre is (lifestyle, gossip, home, etc...)  definitely food, love seeing the beautiful photos and getting inspired. Though I never really try the complicated recipes. But they always look so fancy.


7. The magazines I read regularly are
Yoga Journal, Canadian Parents, Canadian Living, Clean Eating, Women's Health, Real Simple.

Fill in the Blank Friday



Yes, it is that time of the week again. I know everyone is looking forward to this Friday. Just came back from a lovely lunch with an old dear friend, and it's always nice to have good conversation and food. My salad was yummy and Katelyn had her broccoli again :)

And of course, it is time for the Fill in the Blanks. If you want to join in on the fun, just link up at Lauren's blog.




1. My favorite quote is "All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." T.E. Lawrence.

2. A bad habit I have is scratching at my hands when I am agitated or nervous. Doesn't help my eczema.

3. The first time I felt like a "grown up" was when we walked out of the hospital with our child. It just felt like a realization that there was someone that relied and depended on us.

4. Weekends are good quality time to spend with my hubby and baby girl, since the husband works Monday to Friday. It also gives me a bit of a break so I can have some "me" time.

5. When I was a child I wished my name was I can't recall an exact name. But I used to wish that my name was more common so I wouldn't have a hard time every time I had to introduce myself to a teacher. Haha, there was 4 Lisa's in my class. But I did like Amber, Blossom and Punky Power, more hippier names.

6. I wish I would have to agree with Lauren. And say that I could have a career that I loved and still have a comfortable lifestyle, meaning not having to worry about money.

7. A secret I have is I can't think of one. So I guess it wouldn't be a secret if I told you anyways :)




Have a great weekend!
