Laser poops and Apathy.

I haven’t been posting at all as of late. I can honestly say that I’ve been pretty lazy. This tummy problem I have and a total lack of sleep may have contributed to that lackadaisical attitude of mine. But I’m not going to make excuses for myself.

I’M BACK BABY!!

my tummy still hurts but that’s probably going to be a permanent thing. Apparently if I eat greasy/fatty foods I will have laser poops and feel like I’m getting stabbed in the tum tums.

I mean really… Who the hell has EVER heard of that?! I’m sorry to be using such strong language but my soul is a bit crushed. Do you know what kind of food has grease and fat?… The kinds of food that I enjoy. I mean wtf? really! pfft. psshht. mmmmgaaaahhhh. ok if I think about it anymore my head and taste buds are going to fail me.

I guess this is what happens after 10 years of a diet that is primarily coffee and cigarettes.

This leads me to my other problem. My total apathy.

I no longer put on make-up, my hair is in knots and I’ve almost left the house in sweat pants. ALMOST. (I don’t believe in going into public wearing sweat pants, gumboots, slippers, most name brands or any kind of jersey material with writing on the bum or boobs).

I haven’t written in a few weeks and all I can think about is the spring that is supposed to be here right now. However my baby is happy and because of this I’m happy. I’m just suffering from a lack of interest in anything outside my house.

That’s going to change. I’m going on a vegan cleanse. Baby Boy and I are going to start taking lots of walks and I’m already planning my new garden. I will go out to have fun and start inviting people over to my home.

Also we (my man-child, actual child and I) will be going of a road trip to my hometown in British Columbia.

fun fun.

until tomorrow friends.

Pfft, Creepy Easter Bunnies and Zombie Jesus.

Hello! How was your Easter? Are you full of the brown stuff?(chocolate) Did you find all the little multicolored eggies?Or are there a few left over that will melt/stink up the place?

Like everyone else in the world I really don’t understand Easter but it’s a good excuse to eat a ton of candy and ham.

I did Easter this year, which is the first time since I was a child. My childhood family is a bit different so we never did the dinner or brunch.

However, when I was a kid I did get to hunt for eggs from time to time. I don’t think I ever found them all and when my mom would tell me I was missing a few eggs I would give up, sit down, start crying. This would make me question my hunting abilities and knock my confidence down a notch. (no wonder I have confidence issues). At least while I was crying I could eat yummy chocolate eggs (no wonder I have eating issues).

So as a gift for you and your families on this most wonderful, misunderstood, confusing and soul crushing of holidays I found my favorite creepy Easter bunny photo.

That poor kid!

On another note did you “get” someone with a rad April fools gag?

I did! I pretended that I was going to give my son his bottle then I pulled it away and yelled “APRIL FOOLS”!! He started to cry which made me feel super bad… so I cuddled the heck out of him and told him I was sorry over and over again.

Sooo Yeah.

I will be resuming my daily posts tomorrow!

Peace!

Pinterest Pass! Glue Balloons. Results.

Its crazy! I thought that for sure this one would be a epic fail!

You judge for your self.

I was supposed to get something like this…

What I got was this…

I like mine because they look a bit more organic, almost like a sparrows nest.

The steps went as follows.

1. Dip yarn in clear drying glue.
2. Wrap gluey yarn around blown up balloons.
3. Wait for it to dry.
4. Pop balloon, remove balloon bits.
5. Enjoy how artsy you are.

I loved this challenge, I liked getting messy and the surprise of it actually looking cool.
I think that this would be fun to do with a older toddler. Non-toxic glue is a MUST. The string took a really really long time to dry. If the sting isn’t 100% dry the structure will fall apart.

My son loved playing with this one…

Cute! Needless to say that one got super crushed. Don’t worry I was watching him the whole time. No babies were hurt in the making of this post.

So For the Glue Balloons,

My verdict: PASS!!

I say if you have the time and want to make some nifty looking things try this one out!

Tomorrow I will be making a letter in a frame thingy.

kisses!

Weather Delays.

Hello all!

I’m sorry to inform you that my child is super sick with a clod… I mean cold. I got no sleep last night and neither did he. So for today I don’t think we can do the Pinterest Experiment. I know how much we where all looking forward to me pinning paper to balls, but, we’re going to have to stick a pin in that little gem. Have ya self’s a gooooood day!! We are going back to bed and tomorrow I’ll hook you up with some paper ball action!

Peace!

Sweet hearts for a sweet heart

A quick little post before the weekend.

Our family friends have the cutest little girl and this weekend is her birthday party. Because I think she is just the sweetest of all sweet hearts. I made her some sugar cookies, while watching Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee. Such a good movie, I’m a nerd for kung fu. Don’t get me stared on
Legend Of The Drunken Master

But I digress,

The cookies have pink and purple royal icing with party sprinkles. You just can’t have a party without party sprinkles!. It took me 4 hours to finish (but I did take a nap).  I think these are super classic and somehow I didn’t ruin them all. However I did have to eat about 10 broken or defective cookies and of course check for poison. (I say that whenever I steal a bite of food, “don’t worry I’m checking your food for poison!”)

I tried doing the piping bag icing style but I made a mess, so in the end I used a bakers brush. Which is just a clean unused paint brush. I brush on the icing like I’m painting a oil canvas. Thick but no too think.

I’m pretty happy with the results.

I suck at a whole buncha things, but damn am I good at taking naps!

Have a good weekend friends! And make sure to check in on my Pinterest experiment on Monday!

PEACE OUT!

my silver lining

 Today wasn’t easy. I let someone get to me, which doesn’t happen often.

Then the downwards spiral started.

This is easy for me to do. I start thinking about what’s wrong with me and it hurts my heart.

Just when I almost started to cry I saw this…

my baby

I’m not perfect. I have so, so, so many flaws.

I’m totally a whack job,

but I made this little guy, I think he’s pretty great and I’m doing my best.

That’s all I can do.

do my best.

Peace, love and harmony be to you.

A blast from the Past.

After I put up my About page I got a little gift from my pal Catherine.

Maybe you can’t make a dress out of paper clips, but here some evidence you can make clothes out of grocery bags. Weirdo ♥

Her words not mine.

This picture is from 5-6 years ago. That’s me wearing my hottest fashion, a plastic bag vest.

Thanks Catherine!

 

What Does My Baby Do When I’m Working?

When I’m running around doing stuff what does my baby do?

Usually he’s attached to me via baby Bjorn or he sits in his high chair pretending to be evil Spock.
