5 Question Friday




Linking up with My Little Life

1. What giveaway would you like to do on your blog? Realistically? Something I made for my business. Dream giveaway? I dunno, something cool like an iPad or fancy-scmancy camera.

2. If you had to choose between natural artistic ability and natural athletic ability, which would it be? well naturally athletic would be cool cause maybe I'd be in better shape lol but natural artistic ability would last into old age.... kinda a toss up! I'm already creative, so maybe athletic...

3. Do you ditch the coat the minute it becomes "spring" or are you a holdout for more cool temps? I'm a hold out. I live in Canada. I can't risk packing up "winter" the second the temps are above 0C (32F). Put it this way... last week we hit 28C (82F). This week, the warmest it got was 8C (46F). Granted, I have washed up all the mitts and toques, but they aren't packed away yet... still waiting. Hell, my snow shovel is still on my porch and the snow melted 3 weeks ago!

4. What would you do if you won the mega millions lotto of 1/2 billion dollars? Faint? Seriously lol We don't have that large of lotteries here and I have a rough time coming up with how to spend the max 50 million you can win in Canada. 1/2 a BILLION? I'd build a pool and SWIM in it!

5. You are at a hotel by yourself...what do you do? I'm a homeschooling/home business running/SAHM... what do you think I'd do? SLEEP!

Menu Plan Monday

After a long hiatus, I'm back to menu planning! It's so much easier to menu plan with homeschooling and/or on a budget (I've got both!). I don't think I could ever plan breakfast, lunch and snacks, but supper is needed after a busy day!

Five Question Friday



1. Where is your favorite vacation spot and why? We don't do fancy-fly-away vacation, but I loved when we went to Niagara Falls. It was a good 7 hr drive but so worth it!

2. What is your biggest guilty pleasure? Greasy, cheesy pizza. Mmmmm....

3. What is your favorite fashion trend right now? Or, in the past? Um... I'm supposed to have a favorite??? I am so not fashion caring lol Right now I'm pretty damn comfy, fleece pj pants, baggy tee and a sweater. Now granted I won't leave my property like this lol For going out... jeans and a longish shirt (not quite tunic) with a v-neck (I can't stand crew necks!) So yeah, none of that are really fashion trends lol

4. What are your spring break plans? I'm an evil homeschooling mom and we don't "do" spring break Bwahahaha

5. What baby names do you hate? Nevaeh - I used to think it was pretty but I swear to crap, every second person is naming their baby girl that! I get the cute backwards Heaven thing, but ugh!
