Friday Faves this week

It has been a busy and tiring week here with not as much sleep OR downtime as usual. I still have the same 4 books on the go as last week and I just had SO little time to read this week! I am trying to finish up some photobooks online for which the coupons expire tomorrow so that has been occupying my evenings and work and kiddos have occupied the rest of my time, of course!!! Both our girls have drippy noses and headaches but they are hanging in there. It's definitely going around.

Overall, it's been a good week though! The results of the Canadian election were crazy but it will be great to see how things change moving forward. I think our country was ready for a change. Brian is still 100% glued to the Blue Jays, who might get eliminated tonight (but hopefully not!) It has been an intense series (I have watched a total of about 2 mins) ;)

I bought a new blog design template this week and I will be trying to put it up on the weekend, but we'll see how it goes!! I'm also doing my 10K race on Sunday (nervous, but excited!!)

Here's to a relaxing and cozy weekend!!!

Favourite Song:

Enjoying this upbeat and chill tune these days

Favourite Funnies:

If you haven't checked out The Awkward Yeti yet, you should. The comics are extremely humorous (In my opinion).

This dad who writes hilarious (and embarassing) late notes for his teenagers. HILARIOUS read.

Another funny dad out there at Fowl Language who posts hilarious comics about parenting.

I just started following Fowl Language! And the late notes are hilarious. And I like the 4 rituals article. And basically all your links. Good stuff. :)

Today was your big race! I hope it went well! I read that article about the father and his notes earlier this week. So funny! I hope to be that amazing and embarrassing as my kids get older. I finished my list for the book challenge (http://www.everemma.com/p/5-points-freebie-read-any-book-that.html) and I'm feeling determined that the third time is a charm. I will finish this time! (I'm so serious that I calculated a game plan based on page numbers and everything. haha)

Wow! Busy weekend, good luck with your race! I've heard a lot (in comparison to usual) about Canadian politics recently! Very interesting. We live near Kansas City... so we're cheering for the Royals. They've won 2 so far! :) (though I have also watched about 2 minutes... ) as exciting as it is, I've got other things occupying my brain space. Your daughter is such a cutie! I just heard about the semi-charmed book challenge, excited to join in! Have a great weekend! :) XO -Alexandra
