Runs on Coffee and Cream

So, um, where did April go? It's like I blinked and all of a sudden the month is almost over. April was full of cozy things at home; Easter, Adam's birthday, and lots of kitty snuggles.

Logan adores Adam. I love getting photos of them together.

Natural lighting is always best.

They used to snuggle like this and they stopped for a few years. They're back to snuggling together at Adam's feet while he plays video games. It melts my heart.

My amazing husband found a local place that makes macarons and they were heavenly!

My hair's straight! Only because a hair stylist did it.... I need to invest in a hair straightener and then actually straighten my hair because I like it straight.

Of course I had to try the Unicorn Frappuccino but they were out of sour syrup and sprinkles! So I ended up with a pretty mango flavoured frapp.

I think my newest obsession is showing in my most recent purchases.

The bowling alley had pretty great shoes.

I picked up a bunch of snacks at Nations Grocery Store.

It was gorgeous weather all weekend.

Spring has been a little delayed here but our snow is finally gone and flowers are starting to come through!

The cats are loving the fresh air coming through the open windows and all the sunny spots for hangouts.

I made a batch of lemon chip craisin biscotti. The lemon chips that the Bulk Barn sell are perfect for springtime cookies.

I also found some fabric scraps that I had hidden away in the closet. I'm so excited to use these for new projects since they're incredibly cute and summer-y.

I also found an amazing tea shop that my be my new obsession. This was a green honey milk tea and it was to die for.

I hope you're having a great Easter weekend. We're not doing much other than enjoying the sunny weather and spending some much needed time relaxing.

March is almost over and I couldn't be more excited for April. April means spring weather, Easter celebrations and Adam's birthday. All things I enjoy and it means I have a month of baking ahead of me!

Our last bit of snow that we got hit with while going for a walk downtown. We found a pretty cool wall mural hiding in an alleyway though.

My new favourite mug.

I finally pulled out my Tony Moly Pokemon makeup to use. The Jigglypuff colour suits my porcelain skin perfectly.

I knew I had to buy a bag as soon as I saw them in the Easter candy aisle: Carrot Cake Hershey Kisses! They're delicious with a cup of coffee.

Logan is enjoying the fresh air on one of the odd days I opened the windows in the house.

Seymore has been doing his best to find all the sunny spots in the house. I catch him almost daily lounging in a sunny area in the living room.

I started the month reading Bee and Puppycat.

We put up our Christmas tree recently while listening to a Christmas mix CD. It was nice. As usual Seymore wanted to join in the fun. He jumps in the tree box as soon as we take the tree out. Then, once the tree is set up and we're fixing branches, he comes to join us. He hangs off the lower branches and uses other branches as swatting practice.

I caught him resting his head on a branch.

Once the ornaments are up, the tree is even more exciting for him.

This is one of my favourite ornaments we've bought for the tree. I put it high, high up to stay out of Seymore's reach.

Our finished tree! It looks nothing like this now, a couple of weeks later. Seymore has taken most of the ornaments off the lower half. So there's bare spots as we put ornaments back at a higher level.

I caught Logan hanging out under the tree the other night. I love that he has zero interest in the tree or ornaments. It's just a snuggly spot to hang out.

I have to admit that Seymore hasn't been quite as bad with the tree as previous years. But we still have a couple of weeks to go.

Are your pets interested in your Christmas decorations?

This is delicious! I have plans to make some mixed drinks with it during December.

I received a great parcel from a pen pal filled with amazing treats!

I've spent a good chunk of time in my craft room - prepping for Gateway FanEx and to update Etsy.

Logan has been my fluffy craft assistant.

We stood in line at 7 a.m. to pick up one of these. It's beyond adorable. I didn't realize how small it was. I so badly want to do a photo shoot with the cats with it. Adam seems to think this is a bad idea.

 

It's 'Seymore needs to sleep at our feet' weather!

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Look Human designs. Their love of cats, wine, cuddles, and coffee have won my heart over. 

The cats have claimed the guest room. Logan has taken to sleeping right on the pillows.


One of my favourite places this Summer - Moonlight Beach.


How I spend most evenings: sewing.


I saw Gwen Stefani in concert in Toronto at the beginning of the month. It was an incredible night and she was absolutely amazing.

Since upgrading to a new phone (the LG G4) I've been taking more photos than normal since I now have a phone with a better camera than my previous Galaxy S4. So please forgive my photo spamming this Summer.

With that being said, here are my photos from the last few weeks...

I squeezed in a last minute trip to Canada's Wonderland with a friend last week. It was so much fun, though I forgot how nauseous rollercoasters can make me. It was still a great day though and it ended with an amazing funnel cake and a drive home filled with singing in the car.


So this picture happened because I didn't realize my camera was in 'selfie' mode. I thought I was taking photos of the lake. I was super confused on our drive home looking through photos. It was too sunny to see the screen when I was taking the photos so I had no idea I was getting pictures of myself.


We hit up Silver Bullet for burgers and fries after our beach day and it was delicious. It's easily one of my favourite places to grab food in the Summer.


Logan looking especially cute.


Seymore being a dork 'hiding' in his tent.


After rewatching the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie I had to find green nail polish like Megan Fox's in that movie. I found the perfect shade and I'm obsessed!


Trades I'm reading right now. I picked up the Black Widow book at Graphic-Con earlier in the month.


Speaking of s'mores, Mighty Canadian Doughnuts had s'mores as their flavour of the month and it was so good! The doughnut was cut in half, marshmallow spread was put in between, then Hershey chocolate is melted on top with a marshmallow in the middle. Yum!


How was June for you? I'm pretty excited for upcoming plans for the rest of the Summer. It's turning out to be a pretty great couple of months.
