Well I got my iPad! So much for my previous post about how I'm not an Apple girl. Well I'm not, however, everyone and their brother seemed to be getting an iPad and I got jealous (lol) and decided I needed one! So I did the allergy study, waited for the new iPad to come out and ordered one online! So woot!! I have an iPad! I got in engraved with a ( Read more... )

Pictures of my rainbow cake can be found here.

The last photo is a bit dark and the colours seem dulled, but in the first pic the colours seems brighter. They really are that bright!

Enjoy!

This past weekend was filled with fun. I went up to Blue Mountain, near Collingwood, Ontario. It's about a two hour drive north from my house. I've been there skiing before, but never in the spring/summer. My friend Jen's mom owns a condo at the Westin Resort there and invited me and another friend of hers (whom I've met before - we spent Canada ( Read more... )

Ahhh, cupcakes, the best treat! Especially when they're extra delicious because they're made with love.

Yesterday I made chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate ganache frosting. Courtesy of the ( Read more... )

I am embarking on a new life. Well, a new life goal. I am going to get in shape and lose lots and lots of weight (a la The Biggest Loser). Amanda has convinced me to train for a half marathon with her for next May. Tonight, I have started on a walk/run program which will help me build endurance (and I assume help me to lose weight) and start to ( Read more... )

I've spent the majority of my evening searching different German Christmas Markets and tours and flights that go there. I want to go!!! They all look so pretty and festive. I LOVE festive! Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I love the festive season! It's so pretty and everyone is (usually) so happy. Lights are twinkling, the snow looks all ( Read more... )
