Herbed Ricotta Bruschetta

Sometimes life gets crazy. Crazy busy.

One week is full of traveling, tears and family. The next is celebrating love, dancing till your feet hurt and drinking too much apple pie moonshine (for real). 

That is life. It's up one day and down the next, you never know what the new day will bring. 

When life gets crazy and people need you, you need to be there. Drop your prior commitments and be there.

And that's why I haven't been here, but now I am back and have a few things up my sleeves to post this week. 

Summer 2012 Bucket List

The sun is shining, my closet has been rearranged for skirts and dresses and my socks are tucked away not to be seen until the snow flies. SUMMER IS HERE! Well... offically it's here next week, but the weather has been unreal and it's time to get full swing into summer mode!

Chai Tea Latte

I love tea.

I am head over heels in love with tea!

So many choices. So many flavours. 

My cupboards at home and desk drawer at work are stock piled with different kinds - green, red, white and black and different flavours - peppermint, matcha, Chai, blueberry, pomegranate, Christmas, etc. There is so much variety out there, that's what makes tea so great! 

Spicy Coconut Chicken and Rice Soup

It is hot today, like summertime hot!! Fun, flow-y summer skirts and sandals kind of day. Naturally, on a day like this I would be grilling something on the BBQ and making a salad on the side so we can stay nice and cool.
Well, today was a bit different.
Today I made soup. Spicy hot Thai like soup... it totally makes sense, I know!

My fiance is sick. Crazy cough, stuffy nose, sleep deprived kind of sick! Boooo! The poor baby wanted soup so baby got soup!
We sweat the sick out of him hopefully!

Things I love...week 2

Another week has passed! This week we celebrated our mothers and the amazing women in our lives! I wish I could of visited my mom and been able to tell her in person how much I appreciate her but a beautiful bouquet of flowers and funny card were sent her way, hopefully it made her smile! This week was also full of list making as I am getting ready for a camping/canoeing adventure this weekend!

Here are some things that made me smile this week:

1 -Tracy's nack for packing and list making helped me out!

I'm so glad I am not the only one who goes crazy with list making when it comes to packing. Make a list, cross it off as you pack, that way you know you have it!! Or be like my fiance, throw some stuff in a bag and hope for the best. Sigh....if only I could be this easy going!

2 -My favourite nail polish colour!!

For the moment anyway.. haha! This colour, called Jamaica Me Crazy, is the perfect shade of pinky/fuchsia, with a little sparkle, it is so girly and lasts a long time! I have it on right now, it makes my nails look happy :D!

3 -Boulder Canyon Natural Foods - Hickory BBQ Kettle Chips

I am a chip nut. Put a bowl in front of me and I'll eat them all. It's dangerous!!! As healthy as I try to be with  my diet, chips are my weakness.

I just discovered this brand a few days ago. Super flavourful, great crunch and all natural ingredients! Hurray!

4 -My fiance!

A little obvious I know, but this weekend we're celebrating 5 years together, holy smokes time flies!! Next year instead of celebrating an anniversary we'll be celebrating our wedding! I am so lucky to of found someone who wants to wake up beside me every day. Thank you for being awesome and patient. Can't wait to see what the next 5 years brings!!

5 -Arguing with Goat

This goat doesn't take any crap hahaha!

HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!!!
