Family Outing

Today we finally got out after being stuck with rain all week We ended up going to visit Peggy's Cove and the light house.

Carter loved looking around at all the other people. On the way home we stopped to play on the largest hammock in Canada! Super cool! I want it in my backyard lol!

Hopefully there won't be anymore rain this week but unfortunately it looks like there will be!

Pops Of Pink

There is something so girly and lovely about lace dresses. When I was pregnant I really wanted one just like this to wear to my baby shower but I couldn't find one.

I stumbled across this one as clearance at Forever 21 the other day and it was exactly what I was looking for last year! I love it, I think it's so beautiful!

It may need to be taken in a bit but I might leave it in hopes that the next time I'm pregnant it fits lol!

I think the pops of the pink accessories really add some more girly hints to this look and just make it look so much more glam, all while the Louboutin booties make it a little more chic!

Cottage Days

There is nothing like going and spending a beautiful day at my family's cottage. Some of my favorite memories are growing up down there on lake, jumping off the paddle boat with my friends, and even catching eels lol (I even tried bbq eel once, tastes like chicken lol)!

There really isn't anything more important to me than spending time with  my family. I spent so much time growing up with my whole family and being really close, I really want Carter to do the same.

We had such a fun day today playing in the water with Carter and just laying out in the sun chatting about our future family vacays we want to plan! We were sitting on the deck chatting and I looked above Kyle's head and seen the BIGGEST spider lol I screamed "Holy Shit!" so loud, everyone jumped! It was so gross and terrifying. What's even scarier is that thing galloped and hopped, and swims! I'm sure I'll be having nightmares about him tonight!

How gorgeous is my swimsuit cover up?! I can't believe I found it at Wal-Mart for $12! I threw some heels on for the pics to show how perfect it would be for a pool party. I don't usually run around the cottage in 5'' heels lol!

On the way home we stopped in Hubbard's at Sheila's Truck for scallops and fish and chips. Oh my, they were delicious like always!

Now everyone is exhausted and beat! Even the dogs! I can wait to lay down and pass out!

How friggin nasty is that thing?!

Louboutin So Kate

I fell in love with these babies when I seen them online and I just had to have them! Ladies, I'm not going to sugar coat it....These shoes are the DEVIL! They are pure friggin evil! Sure they don't look evil. They look beautiful with suede so soft, that gorgeous candy apple red bottom, popping purple, and the daintiest, highest heel to make you closer to heaven while making your legs look longer (great for short bitches like me lol!). But don't let those looks fool you! The devil wears red ;)

I had heard from so many Louboutin high heel pros that these are damn near impossible to walk in. But of course that didn't stop me! I thought to myself; fret not, how hard could it really be?! I mean, I do have some pretty high Loubs already so it can't be that bad...

Oh it's bad! Most complaints I heard were the toe box is too narrow and really pinches your feet. Well I ordered a 1/2 size up. Problem solved, right? Nope! My issue is the arch. That arch is sooooo high! All of my other really high shoes have a platform, so that really helps. Without the platform it really does put your foot in such an awkward position. And since I ordered up, they're a tad too big! I had read about sizing issues with the So Kate and the Pigalle but I thought these would be fine. I definitely recommend trying them on before buying! Unfortunately for me that isn't an option as the nearest store is a plane ride away!

They don't really hurt my feet, they just feel awkward. Hopefully some practice will get me used to these bad boys, and maybe some inserts. They really are beautiful! I've had nude pigalles on my list for years now but I may have to do the platos or at least the 100's.

Do you have a pair of shoes that you adore but are impossible to walk in? How do you make them more comfortable?

Last Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas

Father's day is tomorrow and in case you need some last minute ideas, here are some quick and easy gifts!

A nice pair of sunglasses. Kyle and I bought Ray-Bans for each other for mother's and father's day since we love them so much. His all black ones are so nice!

A "Dads" gift basket filled with some of dads favorite things. Favorite barbecue sauce, some Dad's soda, beard oil, favorite candies, a nice new coffee mug, a bottle opener, some golf accessories, any little things dad loves.

A new phone case.

A new tie or belt.

A sweet book for dad to read to the baby :).I bought "The best daddy in the world". It's so cute!

A personalized fridge magnet, calendar or another personalized item from Shutterfly. That's not really last minute appropriate but definitely good for future gift ideas! I buy so much stuff from here for gifts and myself! I love it! Also, if you sign up for their emails, they send you free gifts all the time!

Make something with the baby or kids. I bought a little canvas and let Carter play with the paint. Then I put his painted feet on it. It's so cute and very sweet.

Hopefully these helped! Happy Father's Day :)! 

Flower Power!

There is nothing prettier than when all the flowers are in full bloom. We have a huge rhododendron bush in the front of our house that I have been cutting and trimming for the last year. It's such a beautiful plant but it is HUGE! I'm debating on cutting the whole thing and just landscaping with some little hostas and mulch but the flowers are just so pretty, I'm afraid I might miss them!

Carter is 8 months old today! I can't believe in just 4 months I have to go back to work :(. I'm absolutely heartbroken! I wish I could stay home with him everyday! It's just insane how much has changed since last month! He is now just crawling (I guess more like dragging himself lol) all over the place! He somewhat feeds himself with his spoon and eats little Baby Mum Mum cookies. And does he ever love Bentley! Lol he must think she's a fluffy little lion. He just goes crazy for her! He likes the Precious our Chihuahua too but he just adores our little crazy Pom.

I went and picked up some more beautiful peonies the florist ordered in for me :). They're are seriously the most beautiful flower! And I love the smell! Kyle thinks they smell kind of minty. I'm not sure what they smell like lol, just fresh I guess! I think I'm going to get some bulbs and try to plant some.... not that I will have any luck with it anyway. My 3 rhodos I tried to plant in the back yard bloomed for a couple days and now they look completely dead....I don't know what I did wrong!

My outfit for the day was perfect for today's whole "floral theme"! It was so bright and fun, and super girly!
