Judah's nursery

Lacey designed a beautiful nursery for her son Judah's nursery. She chose grey for the walls which I love and aqua accents. Judah certainly looks like he loves his nursery! See the full post and some before photos on Lacey's blog here.

fashion friday

to spice things up around here, i thought i'd try something different. fashion fridays. it all started a few weeks ago when i got a pinterest account and my sister's started a fashion blog - closet rivalry. i started perusing fashion blogs (closet rivalry is my fav of course) and pinning photos of achievable looks. now if only i lived in a city that had decent clothing stores. we don't even have an H&M!!!!!!!!!!!

here are some of my favourite outfits from my fashion board on pinterest (from blogs such as scent of obsession, et pourquoi pas coline, sincerely jules, rebel attitude, the blonde salad and atlantic-pacific):

FANTASTIC NEWS!

Pablo just got a call from his surgeon and it turns out that the tumour that was removed (the second part of his pilonidal cyst removal surgery last week) is BENIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The surgeon was quite surprised. It is quite common for brain tumours to travel down the spine and cause damage so he was not very optimistic that this was going to be nothing and Pablo was quite worried.

BUT WORRY NO LONGER!!!!!

Now all we have to worry about is whether the brain tumour is what caused the bladder issues that Pablo is having and get that dealt with.

Almost 2 years later and we are still dealing with the after effects of the effin' brain tumour...

a genius idea!

This morning, my sister sent me this link to lifehacker. The article discusses how the average American family of four throws out an estimated $130 to $175 in uneaten or spoiled food every month. CRAZY but true. And that is alot of money.

As you can see in the photo above, they recommend creating a fridge triage box that puts in plain sight and gathers in one place the foods you should reach for first.

I am totally going to do this as soon as I can find an empty shoebox. 

surgery #26473838474

Pablo had surgery yesterday. This was a two for one surgery. He had his pilonidal cyst removed and another cyst/lump removed. The surgery went off without a hitch. Thankfully his heart didn't stop like it did during his hernia surgery a few months ago. Pablo needs to see the surgeon in about 2-3 weeks and maybe we'll have more info about what the second lump was (hints that it could be colon cancer related).

Pablo is sore and didn't sleep at all last night. A nurse is here right now to repack the hole where the pilonidal cyst was. We went through this 3 years ago when he had the same cyst surgery. It's not pleasant so my job is to keep the kids in another room.

It's going to be a real quiet weekend around here while Pablo tries to heal, the weather is too freaking cold to go outdoors and we are still attempting to get Simon potty trained...
