Christmas in Newfoundland!!!

We are in Newfoundland for Christmas!!
 
In a little town called Port aux Choix, my husbands home town
 
It was a 6 hour drive, a 5 hour boat ride than another 5 hour drive to get us here but we are here!!
 
 
 
Our truck was loaded down with "luggage" ....

 
The girls were snuggled up comfy in the back seat for the long drive



The was tons of no fighting!! lol
 We got a cabin on the boat because we got the night crossing, and I tell you it was worth every penny!! The cabins are super small but have 4 very comfy bunks,satalite tv, and  a washroom with a shower
 




 
We have been here 5 days already!! I have lots more things to post about our trip!! Stay tuned!!

Its getting to that time of year again, holiday parties and get togethers, with family, staff parties and  friends, or even just wanting to look extra nice for Christmas church services!

I know I always have a hard time finding a nice way to do my hair that is different from the every day hairstyles I wear.

Not everyone has the time or money to go and get their hair proffessionally done at a hair salon, I know I always dont!


Pinterest to the rescue again!!

I have found some really cute, hairstyles on there, and this one here is one I will be trying this holiday season!

 
Super Cute!!

Monday, Monday....

It sure is Monday......

It's raining, and dark, and gloomy
 
So much for the snow we had on the weekend....its not feeling like christmas anymore.....its feeling more like spring!
 
Yep It sure is monday!!
 
We had a very productive/busy weekend!
 
I love productive/busy weekends!
 
Does anyone else feel that your weekend sets the tone for the following week? I know it sure does for me. If I have a lazy weekend of lounging and not getting a whole lot of stuff accomplished, then that tends to be how my week will play out.....and by thursday I am cranky of all the time I wasted and and all the extra things that now need to be done!
 
But if I have a productive/busy weekend, the week just seems to go a lot smoother!
 
Maybe its starting the week off with a clean(ish) house, and empty laundry room that makes the week go by better.....
 
Or maybe its just me and my quirky ways.....
 
Do you know that I CAN NOT put laundry away unless the bedroom it is being put away in is clean?? Seriously.....I just cant!!
 
What did we get accomplished this weekend you ask? Well let me tell you!! lol
 
I have been wanting to re-vamp our entry way hallway for sometime now, and I have been searching (and pinning ;) ) looking for something that would work.....well alast I have found it!!
 
Board and Batten!!
 
This is my original inspiration....

 
and then these for little tweeks!
 
 
 
 
Boy oh Boy is that pinterest the best thing since sliced bread!!!
 
This is the before of our entry way hallway
 
Boring and bland....
 
 
 
 
Of course what is a project without a dance party to kick it off??!!

Kiki Baby aka boss woman overseeing production... and hubba hubby

Finshed product will be revealed a little later!!
 
 
We also spent some time at the rink, Princess had a game saturday night and one sunday night....both away games.
