I have created a Monster. YogaBeast has come out of hiding and sucked me in like crack. In a good way of course. I have done 5 classes in the two weeks since I began and its become an addiction. I have begun to crave the stretch, the sweat, the pain, the tears, the heat, the music. Breathe is my new happy place. And the cool lemongrass towels they pass out at the end? Let me tell you, if I had a

Why have I not tried this before? Oh yeah, its me. I hate trying new things. Catherine is seriously in my Good Books after hooking me up with a pass to Breathe. I have been going to their Foundations class for a few weeks now.It makes me feel relaxed, strong, capable, flexible, peaceful. I feel......zen.Tenille is incredible and inspiring. I don't want to say it is life changing, because that

I know, it has been a while since I posted two days in a row. What can I say, life happens. here are a few things that have been floating around in my brain lately.-Loved hot yoga, cant say it enough. Who is coming this Friday night with me?-One month today until the Fibre One Chill Challenge, have you signed up yet?-I am FINALLY on Pinterest, I setup a Twithead account so I could join. Find me,

I conquered two of my fears last night, going somewhere new and crying in public!! I FINALLY ventured out to Breathe last night. Thanks to Brooke and Debbie for enticing me to come! They agreed to go with me, and so when I finally found the place they were there waiting which made me feel so much better. To be honest, if they hadn't been I probably would have gone home. I get nervous being new

{Those drinks in their hands are Sprite, trust me}Now that things have gotten back to normal, and the winter blues are settling in, I have decided I need to expand my circle. I get very nervous around people I don't know, or don't know well, so this is going to help me break that nervous habit.I'm throwing a Girls Night Out party! Kid free, man free, guilt free!

OK I will admit it. I am a chicken when it comes to some things. I won a fabulous prize back in November of a Hot Yoga pass to a beautiful studio in the south, which is about a 45 minute drive from home on a GOOD traffic day. I want to go so bad, but life (and the hospital) got in the way for a while. Well I only have about 3 weeks left to use my pass. I have asked several people if they want to

Well, maybe not, but I have no problem shaming you all into hiding if you don't go with it!Back in December I sent out a Challenge, the Fibre One Chill Challenge to be specific.

Hey all my lovelies!My Bree girl is doing something amazing.....again. She is in the running for a photo shoot to show why she is beautiful. Why is this amazing? Bree has a disease that makes her hair very thin and fall out. She has had to deal with this her whole life, yet she is truly one of the most physically beautiful people I have ever seen. Her heart makes her even more so.She wears hair

Well, I WAS super stoked about a family reunion I was planning for next summer. We had gotten suggestions from the family, determined a meet-in-the-middle Idaho location that had price ranges to suit everyone, sent out info packages and I was ready to put down a 4 figure deposit to secure our week of fun.I already had activities planned, field trips scouted, church arranged for, and medical needs

and he makes some things So much better!There are wishes we all have, some big (healthy Hubster, Bouncing babies), some small (lose 5 pounds, remember keys in the morning).Well sometimes having those small dreams come true is just as exciting as having some of the big ones come true.Thursday night, one of my small dreams came true.

Well, I read about the solution today.Can all my Lovelies who have a blogspot blog PLEASE go to settings, then comments, then change your setting on 'who can comment' to Anyone!!

Well, you can definitely tell when I am having a rough time, my blog veers into dark, depressing territory. Sometimes I try to edit how much I put on here, but the support I get from everyone helps more than the flack I could catch for it.Back to Adventures with Hubster shall we?So I caught him, and eased him down to a sitting position. I sat with him for a couple of minutes until he regained

We will continue Hubsters Ambulance ride saga.....but for now a brief public service announcement.Trials. We all have them, we struggle through them. We hear people say 'if you could put everyone's trials in a pile together, you would pick yours out right away'. Why does that NOT help at all? I am particularly struggling with the usual right now. Babies. Its not the babies in particular, its the

Wow, we at W and M household have certainly had an interesting year. It has been a good few months since any drama went on, so Hubster decided to spice it up a bit this weekend. I had decided to indulge my inner girl and paint my nails, don't worry it was dark blue, I am SO not a pink girl. Whilst doing this I treated myself to the new Selena Gomez movie on VOD, and felt like a 16 year old home

Well, after perusing my usual list of blogs this week, I stopped by Christals for my daily dose of enlightenment. Seriously, she is awesome!She had a song playing on her blog that I LOVED, and a little blurb about the composer that i feel I need to pass on.Stephen J. Anderson is a film composer, with a style I would compare to Hans Zimmer. He has put together an album of hymns called Hymnalisms.

I refuse to go over to the dark iSide.I think you are great in some aspects of life, such as the ability to help me when I am driving and 'misplaced",(such as trying to get to Coaldale from Stirling and ending up in Readymade???) or your fun games that can keep us occupied

We delivered Food Bank flyers with Hubster, E, J and C, (we managed to hit almost 350houses!!) on both Monday AND Tuesday evenings. J was SO excited to be helping for his second year in a row, although he was quite perturbed about one thing. We have been advised NOT to drop off bags at the homes that have a "No Flyer or Junk Mail" sign on them. He was absolutely shocked, exclaiming "But Auntie,

It has been a busy 10 days or so in our house. First off, my family all packed up and left us to fend for ourselves whilst they sun themselves on the beach for about a month.....no exaggeration.

I was needing a date night with Hubster, so thanks to a suggestion from Melissa and Jordan, we headed on down to Kensington for a walkabout.Now as a precursor, Hubby and I do love the Food Channel for a certain type of show. We like the ones like UnWrapped, Kid in a Candy Store, How its Made, etc...all the ones where they show you how food and treats are made and behind the scenes.The downside is

I have been trying to comment on a few different blogs and it keeps trying to get me to sign in and then wants to post my comment as anonymous....Which sucks because a lot of people have put up good posts and I want to show some blog love....Any of my lovelies have any idea???So Steph, Catherine, Brooke, Bree, Bobbi, Christal and Riss, I

Well, its a couple of things.No girl can call herself a true Canadian unless she lists good ole Timmies on her list. Thanks to the rain I have been consuming WAY too much Hot Cocoa lately.

Ooh who doesn't love good smellies!!!I love having yummy smells surrounding me. Seeing as Hubster has no sense of smell, I get to pick whatever I want in the house!!So I have TWO things for you today my lovelies!! One that burns and one that doesn't!!The one that burns is my favorite Candle, White Cotton!! I am not going to name brands here, seeing as none of these giveaways are sponsored by

Oh my goodness, Do I ever love my next favorite thing!!A couple of years back on one of the Bourne Ladies Nights out, we came upon a lady who sold pashminas. After all 14 of us swarmed her shop, we walked out with more silk than we could imagine. I have 3 in different shades of blue, Baby Blue, Tiffany Blue and Navy, and different weights that are perfect for those chilly evenings to curl up, or

Hersheys Drops!!I was introduced to these little drops of tastiness at work. They are like having little Hershey Kisses that are already unwrapped and you can pop them in your mouth and savour them for about 2 minutes before they are gone. I have been keeping a pouch of them in my desk for those afternoon chocolate cravings. Then, my bestie had to go and introduce me to the fact that there is

I could NOT start a my favorite things list without my current favorite scent. I received a Bath and Body Works gift card a couple of years back from E and seeing as I am quite picky about scents, I went and smelled everything they had in store. I tend to gravitate towards the "Freshy" section. And there it was. So the first item in M's Favorite Things is a full size BBW Hand Lotion in Rainkissed

Hello My Lovelies!Well in honour of life getting a lot better lately, I am going to do a giveaway of some of MY favorite things. I was going to do a giveaway of YOUR favorite things, but frankly, I don't necessarily know what those are. And plus, it kind of makes me feel like Oprah.From Monday May 23-Friday May 27, I am going to do a post about one of my favorite things, and why I love it so. At

OK, so I will admit it, I log into Hubsters Crackbook occasionally, mostly to play me some Wheel of Fortune. Yes I am secretly 90 years old. But a lot of the time, its just reminds me why I am NOT on FB.EX: Hubs ex-co-worker.....I am glad you have a child, I am glad he is healthy, but if my hubby has to read ONE. MORE.

-Knocked my wedding rings off the nightstand while I was asleep last night. My hand feels nekkid. Even the steering wheel in my car feels weird without them on. Does that happen to you? I will have to dig them out from under the bed tonight. And Hubster is out of town, so hopefully no one gets the wrong idea.-Speaking of wedding rings, I wear mine backwards. My mom has always worn hers backwards

I made it through another Mothers Day. No church of course, I avoid Mothers Day church like the plague. Mostly me not wanting to burst into the ugly cry, but some of not wanting the looks of pity when I do. I don't want to make others feel guilty for being excited about a happy day. I also hate drawing attention to myself when I am not in COMPLETE control.I also hate when they ask all the Mothers

-Someone needs to make the movie...My Big Fat MORMON Wedding Reception.....even though we pretty much see the live version EVERY weekend. -I LOVE watching the extras on DVDs, such as "the making of" or "behind the scenes" -The phrase "If its yellow, let it mellow, If its brown flush it down" makes me gag. I don't care how eco-whatever you are, for hells sake flush the damn toilet. Its unhygienic.

Growing up I was always astounded when I had friends who would say they were going to visit their cousins....all 3 of them. Yeah, that's NOT my family. My fellow Morms will totally relate.I am in the midst of another undertaking, a Family reunion. Totally different when you are on the planning side of things. I just added up ONE side of the family.

I was reading the newspaper the other day and I have noticed quite a few articles on something.Why is there no looting in Japan?Returning lost items in JapanThese made me think. In Japan and many other countries, honour is HUGE. You wouldn't dare loot, steal, yell at a store clerk, or be rude to an elder because of the dishonour it would bring to your family. Honour is EVERYTHING. Why can't more

OK, so a few months back Hubster and I heard about the new place that had opened up in Calgary called Five Guys. After hearing such rave reviews about it we decided to try it out. We went to the south location down by Ikea. I had read some blog reviews so I kind of had an idea of what to expect. And trust me, some of those reviews were VERY helpful!Five Guys is an Eat-In or Take-Out burger joint.

I have been participating in Earth Hour for a couple of years. This year, 2011, it takes place Today, March 26 from 8:30-9:30pm in your local time zone. Facts about Earth HourThe hour is about turning off the lights for one hour, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time.Earth Hour was first started in Australia (2007) as a way to draw public support for efforts to reduce fossil fuel

**This is going to be my theme for 2011.I have seen a lot of people choosing a theme for the year and this is the one that best describes me and the struggles I am facing right now. Perspective is everything. Although the last few months have been riddled with fear, angst, struggles, trials, uncertainty and doubt, they have also been beautiful. I have gotten to spend time with my husband that

Remember when I was thinking, things can NOT get worse? Well apparently Heavenly Father took that as a dare.I have had the longest, scariest, most exhausting weekend of my life. While we were setting up for a baby shower on Saturday, my dear hubby suffered a stroke. We are finally home in our own home and he is fast asleep in our bed. I guess stroke is common in patients who have gone through

I have been feeling totally nostalgic the last little while. With my library card,(best invention EVER when you are poor and DYING for new books) I have been online ordering all the good old movies and books I remember as a kid.Most of them are just as good as I remember. I am in the midst of currently devouring the following:Little House on the Prairie ( this series I own)Trixie Belden

A lot I think!It has been very interesting having a unique name. On one hand, its nice to go through school without being mixed up with another person with the same name, eg: Chris A. Chris B. Chris C.On the other hand, its painful watching the new teacher TRY to PRONOUNCE your name. I am pretty good at figuring out that I am going to be near the top of the name list, due to having a B last name,

Well, it seems my "Other Man" has heard of my "Week of Satan" and decided to make it up to me by announcing he is coming back to town. I was a little worried back when was doing a little stint on Glee that Puck and he would figure things out and realize I have a thing going with BOTH of them, but it seems I am in the clear, for now.I have decided to share him with a FEW select women.....about

Could you sense the sarcasm in that title? Let me tell you about this past little while shall I?So last week the Hubster had a promising job interview, but we still have not heard back from them, so that has me a little worried. To unwind he took a weekend trip to Coaldale. He was STOKED to see the kids and spend some relaxed time.I couldn't go as the drive and my poor busted tailbone not being a

As they did last year, Running Room will be supporting the program in the following ways.(1) Each store will be hosting Lunch and Learn seminar, focusing on how to start a walking or a running program, as well as how to select the proper footwear.They will be

I literally spent most of the weekend surrounded by 2 of my most favorite things...Snow and Silk.The snow because we got a major dump starting on Thursday and didn't end until last night. Goes well with the -28 degree weather. That's -18.4 ºF for all my Americans. I totally love it!Now for the silk, most of you know I also run a small company on the side, and we have added pashminas and scarves

My heart is heavy today my lovelies....I heard tonight from a friend that Heaven gained another little angel this week. Little Akayla was outside her home when she was hit and killed in a freak accident. As her family tries to cope with this tragedy, they are needing our support, physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially. We need to share her story to raise awareness and to help raise

What a fun adventure!! Todd Bieber (no relation to the bad-hair teenage dreamboat) was cross-country skiing in a park New York when he found a film canister. He wanted to find the owner, so he developed the film and has been trying to find out who took the photos. And these are not just any photos, but GORGEOUS photos. He is making it his mission to find these people.He made this video for

Has anyone noticed the amount of whining and complaining we as a society do on a daily basis? I for one am SICK of it! All anyone seems to do is complain about everything and anything instead of focusing on the good things in life.

Most of you out in blogger land know that I am adopted. My siblings and I all are. Some people ask how we found out it we adopted, its not hard, none of us have the same skin colour. Now I am facing infertility in my own marriage, it makes adoption even dearer to me. At a birthday party for his little sister a while back, my little J man and I was discussing that. He mentioned that I came from

Ill admit it, when I saw my cousins little girl Lucy with her new cast, I was jealous. I feel bad for the sweetheart make no mistake. As a kid, my brothers always got the cool stuff like casts and braces. I got glasses. Not a fair exchange.I was always envious of the kids with the casts, who had all their good friends, not so good friends and even teachers sign their casts. The best ones were

I still don't know if I fit into this category. I remember being young and seeing all the 'grown-ups' and wondering when you hit that age. I thought for sure it was when you were married and had a house and kids. My baby bro turned 30 this year, quite a feat seeing as I am and will continue to forever be 27. So are we grown-ups? We did, in fact, all sit at the grownup table at the Bourne Family

Did you keep your New Year's resolutions and will you make more for 2010? Didn't keep them, probably will make the same ones again.3. Did anyone close to you give birth in 2010?

My blog is having an EXTREME MAKEOVER in the next few days. I will be setting it to private once installation begins, and hopefully will be back up and running within a few days. ***YOU ARE NOT BEING KICKED OUT!!***The ONLY people who will be able to access the blog are me and my blog surgeon.
