My name is Sharon, I'm a 30-somethin'. I love my hubby and kids, baking, animals etc. Trying to raise my 2 littles to be awesome human beings, being a good wifey, keeping it together, and trying to get into my dream career. Plus, I need sleep right? If I could have a super power, it would totally be to stop and start time whenever I could so I could get shit done in a flash.

My youngest is 20 months. For the last couple months, his fav daily thing to say is, "Mommy? Oh la la!" Whenever he discovers something new and exciting, or when he makes a mistake. It really is super cute. I thought this title sweet and fitting, since I get a lot of surprises and mistakes daily (in my case anyway). I'm just going to write on here because I feel like it (plus I need a place to drop my thoughts, and whatever ideas come my way!) 

Sharon
xoxo

At first I was p-oed that he did that, but then I figured, he's practicing his spelling right? Lol. So that gave me good incentive to finally take care of the table! I started with sanding the top and sides, especially where the writing was. I chose a walnut colored oil stain from Minwax that I got from Canadian Tire for the top of the table to match my walnut cupboards. I stained the top with the oil based finish with just one coat. I didn't want it to be too dark. I used a regular paint brush and let it dry o...

British Romance Movies

Today is one of those cold, crisp, and rainy autumn days where I just want to curl up and read a cheesy romance novel. My favourites have always been historical romance novels set in the Regency or Georgian era. Ever since I watched Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 BBC version with Colin Firth), my tween heart was hooked on everything British. I remember staying up until 1am to record the series on tv by vhs (mh-hmm I'm from that era, lol). I started reading Jane Austen novels and got my hands on any BBC mini series I could find. Since becoming a mom, trying to find the time to read a book has become quite the challenge. But of course, there is such a thing as multi-tasking, and with the internet (thank you!) I can still get my British Period Piece fixes from movies and do other task such as cooking, folding clothes, etc.  What I love about these movies (besides the men with their lovely British accents, ha, ha!) are that you just fall in love with the characters and want the ...
