what a weekend

July 18, 2011 by Ella

Hello. I hope you had a great weekend my darlings!

Saturday, was a busy day for us with prepping for a party which involved cupcake baking, gift wrapping (of course, as it’s always last minute) all while watching two girls run around the house. Which means it was loud, messy and cheery.

Eventually, we get to my good friend’s house to celebrate a big 5 year old’s birthday. All this, just two streets away – all dressed up in dresses, carrying gifts and a platter of cupcakes walking in pairs.

Once there, everyone relaxes, bears the heat, gets lost in conversation, gets bounced in a huge bouncy castle. Laughter is heard, food is savoured, gluten-free vegan cupcakes get complimented.

It was getting late and not many were in the mood to go home. Latin music filled the house – and we got silly on our dance floor in the middle of the living room, kids included.

I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun and laughed so hard.

Sunday, we had prearranged that miss Gabi goes with my sister for a full day to their friend’s house in London ON. 1 hour away. We got a full day of doing nothing….. just what we needed!

How was your weekend? Please share in the comments, I would love to hear about it. And leave a link if you’ve written about it ;)

xo Here’s to a great week ahead!

      Thanks Ana.
      Wait – is that a happy face next to the weather – – I don’t know about that!!!
      I think it completely drains me and sucks all the life out of me….. ;)
      Although today might be a little more tolerable. I only hope!

      Happy Summer my dear!
