A dress up party can sometimes be the answer

I have come to the conclusion that there are 2 types of people in the world: those who like dress up parties, and those who don't. I can't begin to explain the rush that I get when the invite to a real killer dress up party comes my way. I like to think that I can be pretty fun and along with this I like to think I can plan a pretty good costume. So I say don't knock it till you try it. For me I couldn't be happier with all the good things that have come out of my years of silly dress up parties...life isn't the way its suppose to be...it's the way it is, the way we take life on makes all the difference.


I've come to believe that life is too short to blend in, don't settle for average. You're only young once, and you may as well have a good time while your at it. I plan on being able to look back on my life and say that I didn't miss out on anything.



Memories. You get to talk about "that guy" at the party for many stories to come...and no we are not talking about the cute guy, we are talking about the one that had to take it just a little too far, say something a little too inappropriate, and essentially "that guy" had to leave early. Now where else do you get that but a dress up party!



Think about all the quality time you get to spend with your best girlfriends trying to pick and plan outfits for this party. Some of my very best laughs and greatest times have been with a glue gun in hand and scissors in the other in a room full of people who I love and enjoy.




And really isn't life all about having a little fun, so why be constrained to the norm. Let go, give a little, through caution to the wind, throw your hair up and just go with it. You never know how much fun you're going to have until you try it.

Things I Learned About Myself by Moving 5,000 KM + An Ocean Away from Home

Call me crazy - but 1 month after getting married I told Matt I was ready for an adventure.  As if getting married wasn't a crazy enough adventure!  I learned very quickly after being with Matt that I needed to stop  asking for things because he always had a way of making them happen!  March 2015 a job posting appeared on the island of Kauai.  At first it seemed like a pipe dream...I mean who wouldn't just apply for a job in Hawaii?!  So that is what we did, applied for a job...had 3 long distance interviews...told our families + friends there was "potentially" an opportunity...they flew us out there for a final interview...we had a job offer...and sh!t got real!  After a lot of back and forth we decided to book 2 one way tickets to Kauai.  And here we are, 1 year later; and it's been the biggest adventure of my life so far.  Like most curve balls in life there is always a lesson waiting for you to be learned...so here is what I can honestly say has been my learne

Good things come to those who love....

I believe, or at least I hope that I believe that everyone will fall in love at least once. Others may experience it more, some less. I have no idea where I land on this continuum . I imagine somewhere between never wanting to date again, and wanting it all. Bit of a wide range, but you can never be too hasty! However, there have been a few experiences in which I never wish to relive, in fact even better, I have started to compose a list of things I would rather do than have to be left standing alone at the gas station of love using the self-service pump, aka go through that again! Get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face Contemplate if everything I though was right is wrong (black is white, up is down, short is long...) Slam my fingers in a door (again and again and again! But only 3 times, any more than that is risking permanent damage) Shove an ice pick under my fingernails Wear black leather in the hottest weather Hit a tree, these fender benders aren't really killing me Ju

There's lots of bark in the park, but not a whole lot of spark

Now I am going to give away some very very deep and personal secrets here. This little girl has helped me ward of the worst of those creepy, weird, obnoxious and embarrassingly arrogant men who think that pick up lines are still cool. My classic line when I start to tell them about myself is that I am a single mother with a 2 year old daughter....Yes she may be 4 legged animal that sheds, and is slightly overweight--the truth is she is still like an infant! I still have to give her baths, take her to the bathroom, make sure she gets out and is socialized, eats properly, put her to bed...the truth she is exactly like a child. So to all those unappealing men out there, if I use the "I have a 2-year old" line on you. Well please do us both a favour and sit down next to someone else. On Friday this little girl turns 2 officially! Now being somewhat familiar with what it is like to be around children in their "terrible 2's" I certainly can't imagine what more Sc
