Wheelbarrows never go out of style. We are so blessed to have this great family space to share love, laughs & good cheer. See you next season, cottage!
Happy hour snacks!
2day at Motorcycle Skool...
I drove a motorcycle for the very first time today. I'm 31, a mother of two and have a pretty wretched physical disability. I'm very, very busy but managed to find the time to cross something off my bucket list (or, to try to).
I believe my instructors are Shane and Dave from the Ottawa Safety Council and my group is full of awesome people. Some with loads of moto experience and some with zero, like myself. I'm taking the M1 exit test tomorrow - wish me luck!
Um, so yes. That's gotta be some leftover lunch in my teeth but I was too stoked to notice when I snapped this selfie. Yes. I got caught selfy-ing and yes, it was mildly embarrassing. Not as embarrassing as the time I dropped the friggin' motorcycle though... oops!
Here's hoping I don't blow it tomorrow! Today was one for the books. I see why riders love it.
Working Mom Life
I'm blessed to work in a field that I love with other solid human beings. I'm on maternity leave until November but have been doing some voice over work from home (yes, it's all legal & junk). Got a cute lil VO (voice over) studio set up in the basement. I usually set baby up in her little bouncy seat while I voice scripts. She has been teething (we think) lately and not sleeping a whole lot... so today was a little difficult to say the least.
Yes. It's 3:13PM and I'm posting this from bed where baby is currently having a feed. Let it be known that baby is six months old & seriously fighting nap time while mommy was trying to get some editing done.
Ultimately... baby won this battle! Sorry to my producers!!! This is a day in the life of a work from home (exhausted) mother.
Bucket List - 2017
Admittedly, I don't have *much* of a bucket list. There are a few things that have been on my mind for a while now - and with some effort I might be able to pull 'em off. Some, though, involve networking and a little bit of luck. What's on your bucket list?
Here's mine:
- Get my full M license
- Bake a delicious cake
- Ride in a Porsche (going very fast)
- Have my voice used in a cartoon or game
...and that's it! For now...
Been Workin' on a Lil Something
I've been workin' on a little something in my new home studio... I guess the cat will be let outta the bag on Monday, so, until then...
