This weekend Andy and I welcomed a new addition into our home! We rescued Hudson from a high kill shelter down south and are already so in love. He is doing great so far in the city and everyone wants to stop and meet him!

Zootiful!
The zoo couldn’t have been a better place for our last-minute play date. The best part about having a zoo membership is that it doesn’t matter if you stay digging for fossils for 80% of your visit…hey why not…you can always come back tomorrow!
I do wonder how often that rock pit get’s cleaned…and to never have that thought again…

We love this guy!
My boys sure do love their dad! He is the one who can make them laugh more than anyone else, is the most fun to play super heros with and is the one big H loves to snuggle up with at night. For Father’s Day this year we decided to get him something to help with his half marathon training and knew that he would love these Lululemon shorts. We also picked up this cool bottle opener that he can hang on a tree at the cottage. He loved both of course but what he loved the most, and always does, was our homemade project. As usual I got the idea somewhere on Pinterest. I seriously wish I had an ounce of the creativity that I find on that site. What did we ever do without it??
The only supplies that we needed were one of daddy’s ties, a pair of his dress shoes, a camera and two little boys in just their underpants and diaper. To say that either one of them are at ages to be cooperative when it comes to taking photos would be completely untrue as evidenced by the countless outtakes that surfaced of little H about to burst into tears and Big H not being able to stand still. We did manage to get a couple that daddy loved and that’s all that matters.
He couldn’t wait to take them to work and put them on his desk. He loves to show off his boys! We spent that day hanging out inside watching movies and playing games since the weather decided not to cooperate with our other plans. There may have been some ice cream involved too…daddy’s favorite! I was going through our pics since little H was born and there seems to be a trend with him in our family shots that I hope doesn’t continue…

Favorite Place to Be
Everyone has a favorite place; whether it be a cozy reading chair in the corner of their bedroom or a destination location that they can’t wait to get back to. When asked the other day if I had a favorite place, I didn’t even bat an eyelash before going into detail about the best place on earth, and no, I’m not talking about Disney World. Simcoe Island is hands down my favorite place to be. This island, though tiny, is bright, beautiful and full of so much life, love and…cocktails- yes, we do drink our fair share.
Simcoe Island is home to my families cottage. But not just my immediate family, my mother’s brother and her sisters families too! It by no means accommodates (has beds for all) everyone at the same time, but we make it work and it does just that..it works and it’s amazing! Family makes everything better and this place, although amazing on it’s own, wouldn’t be as fabulous without all of the cousins, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters that have the true pleasure of being able to call this place their cottage!
There is not one single thing that you need to worry about when you’re at the cottage. If you brought enough food and alcohol, you don’t even need to leave the island! But if you do leave; it’s to Wolfe Island or Kingston to head to a restaurnat to have a meal, to a bar to hear a band, to one of the local stores for a delicious ice cream cone, to the bakery for a delectible treat or to church for Sunday morning mass (with the good catholic that my mother is).
The dock is perfect, the water is clear and there is everything or nothing to do. The cottage has definetly changed for me since Reagan was born. It was all beer pong, quarters and euchre before I was pregnant. Now it’s kiddie floats and tea parties–which have turned into the new reasons why I love this place.
Visits to the cows are a staple and boat rides are a must!
The three hour drive, ferry rides, and boarder crossing are all totally worth it and add such a fabulous touch to my favorite place!
Reagan, my mom and I had a blast over Memorial Day weekend at the cottage with several family members. Although a strong north wind kept us from froliking in our suits, it was still the perfect trip. A truly fabulous place <3
Here are some pictures from our trip this past weekend.
