My Life In Photos

October has been a great month. It's hard to believe it's almost over. I actually drove to work this morning while snow flurries came down and splattered my windshield. It's crazy to think how soon winter will be here. 

But until snow shows up, I'm going to enjoy the pretty trees, fall mums, and the bit of green grass I can see under all the leaves that have fallen.

Our lawn is full of giant mushrooms right now.

We finally had a bonfire in our yard and ate s'mores!

Seymore's nightly ritual.

Golden trees are all over the neighbourhood right now.

My Life In Photos

January is almost over and I'm really not sure where the month went. It's been a really snowy month. Like, tons of snow. Winter caught up and we've been shoveling every couple of days. It's been a work out. The weather has kept us inside though. Snuggling, reading, watching TV and movies... it's been nice.

Seymore is especially fond of the new bed we bought him on boxing day. It's a small dog bed which fits him perfectly.



Koopa looking cute and actually letting me take a non-blurry photo of him. Tank is off hiding like usual. 


I read through the first Lumberjanes trade this month, along with a few other books. I have the second Lumberjanes volume in my to-read pile still too.




I found Star Wars: The Force Awakens Pop! Vinyls really cheap and just had to pick them all up!


I've been adding to my sprinkle collection as I come up with more recipes I want to try.


I couldn't pass up these Valentines and stickers when I was out shopping last week.

 
I also bought a few other things this month: my first Tsum Tsum pack, a ceramic dish, and two DS games.


January has been a good start to 2016. It's been snowy and I haven't left the house much, but it's been nice and relaxing.

How's January been for you?

Gingerbread Decorating

A couple of weeks ago we had a nice evening in. We turned on the Christmas lights, put on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and decorated our gingerbread house. It was a nice evening and I ended up with a great sugar high.  








 
We bought a smaller than normal gingerbread kit this year since we always have too many sweets during December. I was excited to find those gingerbread men gummies at the Bulk Barn to add to our house. But I can't figure out why they picked 'cookies and cream' as the flavour. Why not gingerbread?

It's insane we're now counting down the days until Christmas, and not weeks!

Fall Wish List

Tomorrow is September and that means Fall is around the corner! Eeee!

Fall Wish List

1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8

I'm so excited for Fall fashion and these are just a few things that top my Fall wish list. How amazing are those knee high socks?! And if I had a Totoro dress it would easily be my favourite item in my wardrobe. And a candy corn kitty?! Everything here makes me happy and excited for the next season. 

Are you looking forward to Fall?

Weekend Adventures

Working retail at Christmas takes over your life. It's not the most fun but I'm doing my best to squeeze in as much holiday fun as I can this month. 

A couple of weekends ago we had some family come up to visit. It was a great weekend and I consumed so much good food and laughed so much. 

I made a cinnamon maple coffee cake and fruitcake cookies for the weekend and they both turned out great. I'm going to share the recipes next week.


The entire house decided to have a nap or disappear into video games (ahem, Adam) so I hung out with cats in the basement for a bit.



We picked up the Marge ornament while out shopping at Target. 

 
We checked out the Festival of Lights!


And brought home a Red Lobster take-out bag for Seymore.


While Seymore partied in the paper bag, we ate lots of treats and played games. 


This was definitely my highlight of the month because since then I feel like I've been living at work and in a time crunch when I'm at home.

I hope you have a good weekend! I'll be at work and doing my best to stay in the Christmas spirit!

Review: meowbox

It's not a secret that I'm a cat lady and obsessed with my kitties. Did you know there are cat subscription boxes out there for you to spoil your furbabies with?! I recently found out and got excited thinking about getting one for my kitties. Meowbox is one of these cat subscription box companies and they're Canadian! Every meowbox contains at least five new goodies for your cat and the treats tend to be all-natural, wholesome, organic, or locally-made. Meowbox sent me (and Seymore and Logan) the November box to review. Needless to say, we were all very excited about receiving our meowbox!
The box contained four toys and three bags of treats.

Toys:
Sprong - Catty Coil

From the Field - Stella the Cork Comet

One Pet Planet - Wooly Fun Ball

Categories - Batnip Ball

Treats:

Holistic Select - Indoor Health/Weight Control
Waggers - Mighty Lion Cat Treat
Canidae - Grain Free PURE Taste Treats

As soon as I cut the tape on the box and opened it up Seymore was basically inside the box. There was something in there that he wanted desperately. No matter how many times I pulled him off the table, he was right back inside the box. Both of the cats instantly wanted the Batnip Ball and Wooly Fun Ball. They both contain catnip and they weren't sealed in a plastic package so clearly the scent attracted the cats.





What I'm Loving Now

Over at IGGPPC, we ended up doing a Secret Santa gift swap between staff members which was super fun to do! I received my gift last week and was blown away by the amazing gifts and goodies inside. It was great opening up an early Christmas gift. 

Forever Nuts

I received a tin of Forever Nuts tea by Davids Tea in my Secret Santa gift. This may be one of my top favourite teas I have tried. It smells like a bakery and the flavour is so good. Not too sweet, but still like a baked almond cookie. It's lovely. And bonus, the tea turns a lovely pink colour when steeped. 


Human 

I've been ogling over so many things on the Human website. I need to place an order after Christmas for sure. These two tanks are my top favourites at the moment. 




I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!

What I'm Loving Now

What's new? I've been spending a lot of time indoors because of the cold weather outside. I've been watching lots of TV with Adam and a few shows on my own and we've been watching a ton of movies lately. The TV show that got me all worked up this week though...

The Walking Dead

So do you watch The Walking Dead? Did you see the mid-season finale? Yeah... I know how you feel if you did. I was literally sitting on the edge of my couch during the majority of this episode. I won't give away any details because I hate spoilers. But let's just say, the show brought out a few emotions within me.


Sweaters

As I've stated numerous times, it's been freezing cold here. But I actually get to wear layers and lots of sweaters! I say this because in previous apartments we never had control of our heat so typically it was too warm in our place throughout the Winter months. But now we not only have control of our heat, but we're living somewhere colder. Needless to say, I've been living in sweaters and I'm so in love with all the geeky sweaters showing up online. 

Snoopybabe

It's no surprise that I'm a cat lady. But recently I came across the most adorable cat and I want one... Snoopybabe! Snoopybabe is a cat from China, who's Instagram account has attracted a lot of attention! 



Adorable!?! The profile just melts my heart!

I hope you're having a great weekend! Mine is filled with Christmas prep, sewing, TV show watching, and lots of coffee!!
