1. Spring has sprung. Well, for today. On Tuesday night we had a crazy flash snow storm. Like, a white out blizzard for about half an hour, followed by clear skies and sunshine. Really strange. Although most of the snow is gone, I still think we will have some snow well into May. Which of course, is ridiculous. Until then, our rubber boots are making many appearances lately!
2. I love homemade things. Whether it be a food you would normally just buy at the grocery store, decorations for your home, or birthday cards, I love them. I think what I love about homemade things is partially the fact that it brings purpose to my days (especially while being a stay-at-home mom-to-be!), as well as the fact that most homemade things help you save money and stay healthy. For example, I recently came across this ridiculously easy to make BODY BUTTER with only 3 ingredients! This recipe has just earned a spot near the top of my must-try list. And now that I am in my third trimester... well the stretch marks could use some extra lovin'!
3. Speaking of homemade things, I don't think I will ever get enough of these NO BAKE ENERGY BITES. Again, a healthy alternative to store-bought granola bars. Although, I still love Fibre 1 bars. A lot. For more of our favourite recipes, check out our RECIPE INDEX.
4. Sometimes I think I am living in a musical. Mostly because Mark doesn't ever stop singing. Ever. Yesterday I'm pretty sure it was literally impossible for him to "say" anything. He instead had to "sing" everything. I'm pretty sure we're going to somehow spontaneously break out into a completely cheesy dance routine that we actually never rehearsed. I'll let you know when that happens.
5. I made a truly amazing discovery last week. I kept getting these annoying emails from Scotiabank, even though I haven't banked with them in years. I usually just filter out those kinds of emails, but for some reason I never did. And now I am SO thankful. I finally read one, and it turns out I still have like 17 free movies worth of banked Scene points. 17 MOVIES! Like, in the theater!! We are headed to Saskatoon for the weekend and can't wait to see 42. I have a feeling I will need to bring a box of tissues. And then next month, The Great Gatsby comes out! We will be going to Saskatoon twice May, so we'll definitely find time to see it while we're there.

6. This weekend we'll do a bit of baby shopping. I'll hit the 8 month mark next Monday, so the clock is ticking! We're just going to try and stock up with the absolute necessities and then once baby is here we'll worry about the rest. Thankfully, the car seat is here and we hope to get it properly installed in the van very soon! We also just found out that our PHIL&TED stroller arrived at my parent's house in Ottawa! I'm really really excited about it. Another reason to add to the many that are getting us SO excited to go to Ottawa in the summer. Can't wait!
