i gotta say my favourite thing in the whole wide world is sat morning lie-ins...i love them... more than my husband...and he knows it.
now, a "lie in" in my house means getting to stay in bed til 8ish and by lie in i do not mean sleep in, no those days flew the coup early september 2005. nowadays a lie in means getting to physically lie in bed without an alarm clock reminding me i gotta be somewhere soon. nothing makes me happier than having devin pad into our room early in the am and say "cuddle mama?". i think that is my favourite thing to have whispered into my ear, well....unless it is george clooney doing the whispering. those few extra moments with my two jammie-clad girls can recharge my batteries better than any fancy starbucks drink, any " girl night"...anything i can think of. i truly feel like the grinch when his heart triples in size as soon as one of my girls plops themselves into our bed. now don't get me wrong, i do miss my days of restful sleep and wonder if i will ever sleep through the night again but in the meantime, i will make do.
my other favourite thing these days is friday night movie night. it wasn't too long ago that friday nights meant hanging with the girls at the baa field watching rugby or hitting "my apartment" in downtown to. but considering i am ready to crash by 9 pm most nights, friday movie night is awesome. mini marshamllows, a big blanket and cuddles on the couch....bliss. most days i still can't believe i was the one who proudly said "i am not having children no way in hell" and now i am the proud (albeit in consisitent) owner of a blog and it is all about them.
wow times have changed...and i can officially say , for the better.

About Me
- Noeleen
- Burlington, Canada
- Description huh? Hmm...where to begin, what do I start with....? Ok, the basics...37 years old, married to my one love, have two incredible girls, a teacher by trade although unable to work fulltime in that field so I sub here and there and help my sister-in-law with her business. Recently returned back to the GTA after living in Bermuda for 10 years. Being close to family is great but I do miss the seaside. Interests....? I love making things, biking, music, playing outside...however I find time is what I am short of these days. Interests I wish I had...cooking incredible meals using more than 4 ingredients, exercise(apparently all that crap about burning calories while vacuuming and folding laundry doesn't count if you eat food!!)reading (grown up) books (I manage about 4 pages of my own novel a night thus my library overdue charges are quite large!). Things I like about me...my need for things to be in the right place, Things I am not so keen on about me....my need for things to be in the right place, my dislike for the telephone, my slight tendency to be a control nut...freak is sooooo overused.
