{Friday Night Leftovers}


  • December 30th.. there is only one more day left in 2011. It has been one crazy year but I am so looking forward to what 2012 has to offer!
  • I took down my Christmas tree yesterday... and cleaned.. and did 10928158323 loads of "holiday" laundry. My house feels slightly sad without the smell of pine and the glow of lights. Until next year, I suppose.
  • It's a friend of mine's Due Date today. That means that sometime within the next 10 days I will be in the hospital watching a baby be born. I am SO excited. I can't wait to help her through labour and to watch her become a mother. I know first hand the love that fills your heart the very second you see your baby and I cannot wait to see that from another perspective.. to watch her fall in love. 
  • I am addicted to Candy Cane Lane tea. It's so good... and I must stock up because it's seasonal and will soon be leaving the shelves of supermarkets everywhere! I may die without it.
  • How does one 23lbs child make more laundry than 2 full grown humans? How!? 
  • I'm a little bit sad that Christmas is over but in the same breath, I'm so relieved. The holidays are so hectic and we need to have routine back in our life. H is a little out of sorts.
  • Speaking of H... she took her first steps nearly a month and a half ago. Some days she'll walk 15 steps like she's a pro, other days she falls after 2 and acts like she's never done it before. Wtf!?
  • I feel like I've consumed enough goodies for an entire year... blech!

{Friday Night Leftovers}


  • I fear we're coming to the end of 2 naps a day.. the thought of only 1 nap makes me want to vomit. 
  • 12 teeth. She got her first tooth on her 6month birthday and at 12.5months old she now has 12. If I ever meet the damn toothfairy, I'mma knock a bitch out. 
  • I got a new camera. I sold my Sony a380 and bought a Canon t2i.. I'm. In. Love. It's unreal.. for real. 
  • I hate the snow, as I've mentioned before, but I like a White Christmas. I'm beginning to get nervous that we won't have one this year... too much rain!
  • I don't know if I mentioned this but I finally broke down and gave H peanut butter. It was something that made me very nervous but on one cold December evening (the 7th, to be exact) we had a PB&J sandwich in the 15 minute stall of the hospital parking lot. Yah, I know.. I'm a freak. 
  • Also, she's not allergic! yay.

{Happy Birthday}


December 13th was the day H was supposed to be born. It is also my papa's Birthday, or at least it would be if he was still with us. While I was pregnant I "told" him that though I would love for my babygirl to share his birthday, I was done being pregnant and if he could make her come any quicker it  would be greatly appreciated. Though I will never know if he aaactually had anything to do with the fact that I went into labour the next day, I like to think he did.

Happy Birthday, Papa... I miss you every single day and I wish more than anything in the World that you had a chance to meet C and your Great Granddaughter. xo

{Friday Night Leftovers}


  • Friday, already?! Were did this past week go!
  • H is teething - again, or still, it seems it never quits. We had molar #1 break through a couple weeks ago and this week we have #2 and #3! She's miserable, and so are we. Will the poor kid ever catch a break? 
  • I'm ALL DONE my Christmas shopping. Christmas cards are sent. Presents are wrapped and under the tree.. I think it's safe to say I'm ahead of the game this year!
  • I got a new camera and I looooove it. Merry Christmas to me, from Husby! (He told me I had to wrap it and put it under the tree... I gave him the empty box and told him to wrap away!)
  • Pictures with Santa tomorrow - I have a very strong feeling H is going to hate him. We shall see!
  • I entered a contest to try and win a Trash the Dress photoshoot with a photographer in Vancouver. If you would be so kind as to please vote for me that would be AMAZING. All you have to do is LIKE this page and then scroll down to my (Danielle Foster) post on her wall and LIKE it as well. Tell your friends while your at it ;)
  • I don't have a lot to say as this week has been full of whiney, teething baby and exhausted, grumpy parents so I'll leave it at that. Check out more leftovers here
