So thanks for Pinterest, I have a little DIY itch that I cannot scratch. I’m not even really into DIY projects either. Mostly, because I can usually find someone who sells whatever it is I’m contemplating DIY-ing. That being said, however; this DIY project my husband completed for us was [relatively] easy. When Kurt and… Continue reading A Little DIY Project
I feel like this post is long overdue considering how much Kurt does for Nate and I. Last week I mentioned that Kurt was working nights for some overtime but what I didn’t mention was that he was also up early in the day for jury selection (yuck!) as well as having to still work… Continue reading A Shout Out to My Husband
A big thanks to Emirati Mama for nominating me for the Liebster Award! I really enjoy doing these types of “awards” because it lets me know that people are actually reading (and hopefully enjoying) my blog and it also allows me to let other bloggers know I’m interested and following what they have to say!… Continue reading The Liebster Award!
O.k., normally I’m not one to post recipes online because if I’m being honest, I reallllllly don’t like cooking. I enjoy baking yummy sweets but when it comes to actually preparing for dinner I just don’t have the same passion. I’m not the type of person who can look in the fridge/freezer, pull out random… Continue reading Simple and Tasty Crock Pot Ribs
Friday night Kurt came home from work and informed me that Cobourg was having their annual rib fest all weekend. We haven’t really had the chance to enjoy weekends during the summer together for the last few years due to me working every Saturday and Sunday because of both jobs but regardless of my work… Continue reading Simple Sundays

Well, I started keeping a journal when I was pregnant. I basically wrote about how my pregnancy was going or letters to my… Continue reading The Blogging Interview with Freckles and Cheeks
I know we’re still in summer and there’s still quite a while left of it but guys seriously I am dying for autumn over here! I live for the fall. Oh the vibrant colours. Oh the crisp air. Oh the cozy, cozy sweaters. I miss autumn. I wish I could live somewhere where it was… Continue reading Fall Bucket List
I usually blog about my son or my day to day activities but rarely do I blog just about me! So, I thought I would do a little “Get to Know Carly” post for today! I actually used to HATE my name. Like really hate it. Carly isn’t a very common name, however; there was… Continue reading A Little Get To Know Me!
In my opinion, some of the best family days you can have are the days when you don’t actually plan anything and just decide spur the moment to head out somewhere. This morning after waking up super early (thanks Nate!) Kurt asked if we were ready to “go out”. I looked at him sideways and… Continue reading Spontaneous Trip To Cobourg!
Today marks Canada’s 148th birthday and I for one could not be more happy about being Canadian! I love living here and what it means to be Canadian. I’m proud of where I come from and I’m proud of our nation. Today means much more to me now that we have Nate. I can’t… Continue reading O’Canada!
