Have a Beautiful Weekend.

My husband and I visited Cape Breton last summer with our two little boys. So beautiful!! And I tell you, I’ll be sorely tempted to relocate there if Trump wins (and I’m even a registered Republican).

Hey dolls…went over to check out the period panties and stumbled across their linked product for gals like me to tinkle when they giggle…check out their sister site ICON…just ordered from them. If those blow my mind, just might get the period undies as well.

I grew up in South Africa, and my mom had that cook book as well. I vaguely remember the castle cake at a birthday party. I used to LOVE looking at the pictures. so strange seeing them again takes me right back to being a kid!

This is somewhat unrelated, but I’ve been meaning to share this ballerina photo shoot with you forever! These are some friends of mine and every time I see these pictures I think of you, Joanna. Enjoy! ❤️

The one with the perfectly neat cables reminded me so much of my husband lol!

Years ago, my mom was cross-country skiing by herself on a city river (Edmonton). It was a very cold winter, but a warm water outlet of some sort had unexpectedly thinned the ice in one area and my mom fell through. She managed to use her ski poles to hold on and slowly, with great difficulty, pulled herself out. She had to walk to her car a considerable distance, in soaked clothes in -25c (Very cold, sorry I don’t know ferenheit), and she was just relieved to be alive after the whole ordeal! So I found the article about what to do if you fall through ice interesting (I am familiar with his work) – it can’t hurt to be aware. Take care.

Thanks for the birthday cake link! I spent my childhood in South Africa, and that book was gold for me and my sisters. What a trip down memory lane!

I grew up in Australia, and we had that cake book! We spent ages poring over the pictures. My brother had the train one year, my sister had the duck with the potato chip beak, and I had the swimming pool!

I’m a resident of that Canadian island, and we really would love for you to come! If not forever, at least for a visit. I promise you’ll fall in love.

My next door neighbour made me the swimming pool cake for my 7th Birthday. So lucky !

Are there islands in case Clinton or Sanders wins, too? Man, I am so sad about the candidates this year. I think I’m just going to have to vote for a write-in candidate! I just can’t back any of the front 3. I’m glad our government has a system of checks and balances, because we are going to need it like never before!

Looking through those perfectionism photos was oddly peaceful. Thanks for the link! Hope you have a good weekend as well!

Oh, yes, I absolutely adore Thinx! I bought some when they first came out and, oddly, just opened my second order a few minutes ago. They are so much better than a panty liner or a pad! I am able to wear a tampon for the heaviest day or two of my flow with them, then just the panties for a couple more days. I wear them in my work as a yoga teacher and massage therapist; so much better to move in. Less oder, less chafing; more comfortable, way sexier; better in every way. My first set are holding up great over several months of use, too! Cannot recommend them warmly enough.

Thinx are amazing- tried them on a whim and am never going back. (I think I actually have more pairs of these than regular underwear)- Its amazing how less stressful having a period is with them…Not a mess like the diva cup- no worrying about stains. Often wear them without a tampon which is so great- the sport style is my favorite- but also really like the high waisted ones.

Thinx are so great! I wear them with a cup on heavy days and alone on lighter ones. They are especially great for when you know your period is supposed to start but it hasn’t yet.

We had one of those cake books growing up and each birthday my parents would try to outdo the cake from the year before. It turns out they were pretty good at cake decorating!

Love the Canadian island and breakfast articles.

I have super heavy periods and I supplement my soft cup with period panties. They can be kind of awkward but overall a total life saver compared to panty liners. They are worth a try and what you pay for one pair will save you in costs for feminine products!

Ok. So the period underwear sounds really weird, but I am here to tell you that it is nothing short of amazing! I just ordered a pair of Thinx last month and used them for the first time and they were seriously the best thing ever. The saddest part was only having one pair and having to wait for it to air dry before I could use them again. I used them day and night, but even if you just used them for night, they are 1000x better than pads and you don’t have to worry about changing tampons. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. If you’re still on the fence, they have a 60 day no questions asked return policy on your first purchase with free shipping and free returns. So there really is no risk in trying. I am such a happy customer! Oh and they are super comfy and very flattering.

loving the la/nyc jokes. so accurate. so funny

You have all the Aussie favourites this week! Hamish and Andy, and now the Women’s Weekly Birthday cake book. I am feeling HOMESICK for Oz ??????????????
Ps, you should totally go visit Australia, your fam would just love it.

Most def. will try the p. panties.

Who will take us in if Hillary gets elected?

I found the article about how to save yourself if you fall through the ice really helpful! I live in MN (The Land Of Ten Thousand Lakes) and everyone goes out on to the ice. I rarely worry about falling through the ice, but it’s good to have a game plan if I do.
