weekend.

This weekend there was a dark chocolate bunny {he didn't last very long}, this movie with my best girlfriends {so good!}, my dad's birthday {happy birthday dad!!}, this movie with the hubs and Alicia {breathtaking!}, homemade biscotti {yum!} and a gorgeous walk in the country. I couldn't have asked for a lovelier weekend.

My sister and I decorated these eggs when we were kids and my mom brought them out for Easter. I can hardly remember decorating them but i'm thinking that me and my sis were quite the little artistes :)

How was your Easter weekend?

grow.

This weekend I planted Thai basil, chamomile (which blooms into pretty flowers too), cilantro and dill seeds in cans and nifty plantable pots which i'll transplant into my garden come June. My garden puts a big smile on my face and really, is there anything better than picking fresh ingredients right from your own backyard?

PS: Shiraz was a fantastic supervisor :)

Happy new week!

surprise.

J surprised me with 3 lovely tulips yesterday, just because. I adore the orange with touches of yellow, beautiful! Good choice hubs :)

Happy friday!

spring beauty.

What a lovely weekend we had, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and everyone seemed to be walking around with big smiles on their faces. And yes, I was absolutely one of those smiley people :)

I hope your weekend was lovely too!

hello spring.

It's finally starting to feel springy here in Montréal, after 3 days of constant sunshine, the snow banks are shrinking and the ground is becoming visible again. J and I have seen Canadian geese flying home from down south every morning this week too! They always manage to take my breath away flying in their perfect V formation, aren't they amazing? The icy layers on the lakes are also giving way and making some room for the ducks to play in again. Yes, Spring is here and these little guys look just as happy about it as I am.

Happy friday friends!

bodyguard.

The mister has been in San Francisco for work this past week and returns home today, so this weekend it was just me and baby Shiraz. Aside from taking plenty of cat naps with this silly little guy, there was loads of reading, cooking and spring cleaning. The week has felt super long but Shiraz never left my side and if there was the slightest noise or movement in the house, he was all over it ;)

Happy new week!
