Secret Number One and a Photo Dump

We have some secrets. I feel ready to share one.

After almost 8 years, I will be heading back to work full time in September. This decisions has come after months and months of thinking, worrying, planning, questioning, doubting, crying, celebrating and every other emotion imaginable. I know we have made the right decision. I am ready to be back. I am ready to have my own classroom again.

Riley and Simon will both be at school full time with me and Coop will continue at his Montessori. There is another huge piece to this puzzle that I will share in time.

I'm not sure how it will all work as Jason will be continuing on with Volleyball Canada (more on that later too). I do know that we will probably struggle and stress and worry but I also know that as one of my good friends says " we always come out smelling like roses".

As our other 'projects' come together and we are comfortable with putting them out there, we will. But for now, a photo dump.

I do love my job

Cooper reads his hockey books

The perfect late night combination

I wonder how long the obsession with keeping my car clean will last?

Photo dump

I've never really thought of myself as a person with an addictive personality but I have come to realize that I totally do. I can admit it. That's the first step, right?

My name is Amanda and I am addicted to Instagram and Pintrest....and a few other things I won't mention.

I have also realized that I am best at feeding these addictions when there are huge things happening that I should be paying closer attention to, like my report cards, this huge pile of laundry and this massive basket of socks to matched and a few other major life changes that aren't ready to be shared yet.

Without further ado another photo dump......

Our Super Bowl Party. I will take any excuse to have a little party. The planning has already begun for our family Oscars party. Bring on the red carpet.

Trampoline jumping in February

Our poor baby slipped on the ice at school and cut his face up. He did inform me that he didn't cry because "I'm tough like a hockey player on ice."

Coop prints his name all by himself

Is there anything cuter than footed P.J.'s?

Tuesday ski day

I drove my first

1000 km in my new ride

We saw a full moon, so we got in the car and chased it to the lake. Then we got out of the car and danced.

The howler

I LOVE that he still sleeps like this

Eyelashes

I took a day to myself. The whole day. The first one since before Riley was born. I was bored out of my mind and wanted the day to be over by 11:00am.
