<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Andrew was born on Friday June 19th at 7:49 pm, weighing 7 pounds + 10 ounces, and measuring 19.5 inches long.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He's such a happy and healthy boy and I am so grateful to be his mom.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has been challenging transitioning to two kids, but Eric has been such a big help and is over-the-moon in love with his baby brother.</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Halloween was so fun this year, especially since we have a new baby in the mix!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I finally convinced my husband to do a family costume this year, even though him and I didn't go all our with our costumes. My oldest, Eric, has been heavily into Star Wars lately so with him as Darth Vader, Andrew as R2D2, Doug and I went out as a modern day Han Solo and Princess Leia.</span></center>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A couple
of weeks ago, I was contacted by a woman named Heather. She's a 10 year
survivor of the rare and aggressive Mesothelioma cancer, and she wanted to
know if I would help spread the word on this deadly disease.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How could
I say no?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have
been personally affected by the impact of cancer before, though I have to
admit, I've never heard of this type until Heather contacted me. Both of my
in-laws passed away from cancer. My Father-in-Law of Leukaemia, and my
Mother-in-Law of Brain cancer. My Nana also passed away from Lymphoma cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've seen
first-hand, what the affects of cancer and its treatment can do to someone, and
quite honestly, wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. Everyone knows
what type of disease this is - one that is not prejudice. It does not care
what colour of skin you have, how old you are, whether your male or female, or
where you are from. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyone
can get it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, even
if I can inform one person about this specific type of cancer in my tiny corner
of the web, I'll be happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mesothlioma
is a rare type of cancer that can occur in the thin layer of cells lining the
body's internal organs, known as mesothelium. There are essentially three
types of mesothelioma, with <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/mesothelioma/types/pleural.htm"><span style="color: #420178;">Pleural mesthelioma</span></a> being the most common form, accounting for roughly 70% of cases. More information on these type of mesothelioma cancers can be found <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/mesothelioma/types/" target="_blank">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cause
of this cancer is the exposure of asbestos or the inhalation
of asbestos particles, which is still in use in both Canada and the
US. Many people often actually refer to this cancer as 'The Invisible
Epidemic'. In fact, the number of accepted claims for mesothelioma in
Canada rose 216.4 percent between 1997 and 2010, a 2013 paper by Dr. Demers and
Dr. Ann Del Bianco reports. Across Canada, seven to 10 accepted occupational
cancer deaths claims involve exposure to asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Ontario
Workplace Safety and Insurance Board has pegged the average cost of

cancers, there is treatment, but no guarantee. Those usually diagnosed
with this cancer are only given about 10 months to live. Treatment for
mesothelioma can include surgery (specific and unique to each case), radiation, and chemotherapy; all of which
causes further discomfort to the patient. More information on these treatments can be found <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/treatment/" target="_blank">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I've been home with Andrew, I've really been enjoying the time I get to spend at home. From just spending time with him, to baking, cooking, and sometimes catching up with my PVR, one thing I never get tired of is making jam (and that usually happens when jam goes on sale!). I'm so happy to share this recipe with you!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees, and while waiting for the oven to heat, wash and core the strawberries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">2. Place the jars (without lids) in the oven for 10 minutes and then turn off, leaving the jars in the oven until needed. This will </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">sterilize them and help keep them warm for the canning process.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">4. Put the strawberries in a large pot, several at a time, and use the potato masher to mash them all up.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">5. Once you have crushed all the strawberries, measure out <b>3 </b></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>Âľ cups</b>. Be sure to be <i>as accurate as possible</i> here, or you may throw off the recipe! I used the bowl I put the cut strawberries in for the amount needed, and saved any extra of later use (they make a good ice cream topping!), and just poured the correct amount back into the pot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">6. Turn on high heat and add in the lemon juice and sugar, then stir, sir, stir! You'll want to bring the strawberries to a rolling boil. Once at a rolling boil, continue to boil for one more minute.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Remove the pot from the heat and add the liquid pectin, stirring continuously for five minutes. Once you're done stirring, skim off the foamy part of the jam.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. Pour the jam directly in the warmed jars (be sure to use gloves, the jam is super hot!). You can pour directly in the jar or use a funnel like I do (it's so much easier with one). Be sure to leave ÂĽ inch room at the top of the jars to allow for sealing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a couple of hours, you'll start to notice the thickening of the jam which is when it's good to eat! The jam will store in the pantry for up to a year, but like I said before, they won't last that long.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guys, I'm so excited to tell you about our weekend - it was a good one!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It started Friday when Andrew and I did our second Fit4Baby & Me Barre class, and then headed out for lunch with the rest of the ladies. It's so nice catching up and chatting with those who are going through the same baby experiences as you. If I ever need advice, a second opinion, or even just a different place to vent, I know I can go to any one of these ladies. We've literally created our own village and it's awesome.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday was so cold, and served as a reminder that Winter is on its way (even if it is only the beginning of Fall). And even though it rained pretty much most of the day, it didn't stop us from being outside for a few hours! Sadly, Doug wasn't part of any of our weekend activities as he was up north closing our trailer for the season (a very sad thought indeed).</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started the day with Eric's swimming lessons. He's getting so good at it! He's slowly, but surely getting used to putting his face in the water, and I'm super proud of him. He hates getting his face wet and usually freaks out every time it happens, but he's really try so hard and making good progress. I know it will only continue to get better from here.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After swimming, my family and I went to <a href="http://www.puddicombefarms.com/" target="_blank">Puddicombe Farms</a> to go apple picking. This is a yearly tradition. The apples are so delicious and it makes for great family time. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These pictures include Eric, and my two nephews Logan and Riley :)</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Sunday, my Dad and Brother's work (ArcelorMittal), held a BBQ for employees and their families, where we had the opportunity to tour the plant. This is the first time they've done tours, so after about 30+ years of my Dad working there, I was finally able to see what he truly does. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past Sunday, I was very fortunate to host my good friend Nita's bridal shower. It was so cute, fun, and everyone had a great time.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We played a few games, ate good food, and were able to just enjoy the company we were with.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was also able to design and make all stationary and am so happy with how everything turned out. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to the entire bridal party for help making it a success!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy!</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday night I was supposed to have a Stampin' Up party, but much to my dismay, it was cancelled. Have you heard of Stampin' Up before? I recently fell in love with making homemade cards, and they sell stamps and other materials to make them. I love everything they have (although I don't think my wallet does). </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, unfortunately my reps baby sitter had backed out (a situation I can relate to); but having said that, my sister Shannon and our friend Nita ended up going out for appetizer's at Montana's. If you haven't been there yet, their corn bread is amazing! Unfortunately, they were out of that when I ordered. I guess things just didn't want to go my way that night!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday morning my sister and I went to an Etsy craft show. It was so nice to see some items from Etsy in person before purchasing them. During the afternoon, I looked after the kids while Doug was playing in a card tournament (Magic anyone?). We just did a little bit of shopping and then came home and played.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyone else have a five year-old that thinks Walmart is like a vacation? Seriously, he said that. Clearly I shop there way too often.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sunday was such a lovely day! We held a bridal shower for my friend Nita (I'm her Maid of Honour), and it was so fun! It looked cute an all the ladies had a great time. I such wish I had time and remembered to take a picture of me and the bride! Here is the lovely bride herself!</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, that was a rather large and unexpected break from blogging! </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These last three months have been a whirl-wind as I get more accustomed to life with two children! Our little guy arrived on June 19th, and he is the sweetest! I'll post about him in full very soon, but here he is!</span></center>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lot has changed since I last logged on, so I have a lot to update. One big thing I'd like to announce is that I'll be rebranding this blog (changing the name, design, etc.), to something more fitting. As I grow and learn more about myself (more on that later), I think it's time for some changes around here; something a bit more fresh.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This blog will become my outlet; a place for me to be me. I am more excited than ever as I share and continue on this journey, and I hope you are willing to follow along.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I decided to do something a bit different for Eric's Easter gift. We generally don't go crazy with celebrating Easter around here so I often don't like to spend too much money on buying Easter gifts. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While we do a small Easter egg hunt at home, as well as one in the community, Eric also usually gets some chocolate from his Nana and Papa (their grandchildren are spoiled!), so I keep our gift for him pretty minimalistic.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instead of just getting him a chocolate bunny and some Easter eggs, this year I decided to go with something smaller - but way cuter!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This super easy DIY mason jar gift idea is perfect for those struggling with finding a last minute Easter gift, or for those who just want to take their gift up a notch. It's inexpensive and takes no time at all to put together!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Supplies:</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Mason Jars</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -24px;">Easter </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">grass</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">2 - 3 small Chocolate Bunnies, per jar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">10 - 12 mini Easter eggs, per jar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Small piece of fabric for lid, optional</span></li>
</ul>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Directions:</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's simple really! </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Put the grass in the mason jar (you may need to press it down a bit in order to slightly flatten it out.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Arrange the chocolate bunnies on the grass.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Place the mini chocolate eggs around the chocolate bunnies.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Cut the piece of fabric to the size of the jar lid and place it over the top; screw on the lid.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I mostly used the fabric to cover up the label sticker that wouldn't come off, so if you don't have this issue, this step is optional (though it looks pretty).</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time I am truly struggling and think it's the perfect time </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">for you to get to know me a little bit better.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a fun-loving Hamiltonian who has a serious thing for cupcakes; I am a wife, mom, sister, aunt, friend, and now…</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">… a full-blown entrepreneur.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that right there scares the shit out me. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The truth is, up until a few months ago, I’ve been a full-blown corporate woman for almost nine years. <em>Nine</em>. Almost a full decade. I started working in the world of HR right after I finished college and spent the past nine years working for the same company. Talk about loyalty.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I guess it wasn’t mutual because I was laid off as a result of restructuring. Not fun.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to admit; it was really unexpected (though I guess those situations always are). I was shocked, saddened, and I really didn’t know what to do. I cried. I called my sister. I called my husband (and made him come home from work). We went for breakfast and then that afternoon I went for a manicure and pedicure. I deserved it after all.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not a completely bad day considering how it started.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My point though? I’m 100% going to turn this into something positive.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes it’s a pretty crappy feeling when you lose your job, but I also see it as a clean slate. An opportunity to do something I truly love and was meant to do.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was my sign - I am no longer meant for the corporate world. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And now I've had the daunting task of getting used to life at home (mostly working and adjusting to having too much time on my hands). It sounds like a nice problem to have, but sometimes I really don't know what I should be doing or where I should be going. It's such a change from the corporate life.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I feel like it was meant to be and that I'm meant to set my own schedule; be my own GirlBoss. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can now spend some time volunteering at my son’s school; I can keep up with my daily activities and chores without trying to be super mom; I can prepare healthy meals at home; I can spend more time with my family; and I can spend more time focusing my efforts on doing what I love, which is planning weddings (and everything else that comes with being a <a href="http://www.weddinggirl.ca/" target="_blank">WeddingGirl</a>).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just because one door closes it doesn’t mean another one will automatically open. First, make sure the first door stays shut and then work as hard as you can to pick the <em>right</em> door. Don’t just take on the first thing that comes at you as you might end up with some regrets.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Deep down I knew it, it was just hard to make the official transition and I am happy I now have that opportunity.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s true that sometimes life throws you unexpected punches. Things go wrong in life, situations change, people change. But the question then becomes, how can I make it better?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You make it better by changing your outlook on the situation. Ask yourself how you can turn the negative into a positive. Picture the change as a clean slate that can be painted anyway you want it.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: start;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made this crayon wreath for my son's daycare teacher and gave it to her on his last day there. She loved it so I have also decided that I'm going to make one her his Kindergarten teachers as well. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will be the most perfect Christmas gift for them; unique, unexpected, and I am sure all the kids will love it too!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, and it's super easy so you can have the kiddies help too!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What you need:</b></span></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two Embroidery Hoops (one 12 inch and one 8 inch).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">64 Crayons</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ribbon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Assorted school stickers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Block letters</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hot glue gun (forgot to include that in the photo!)</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />How to:</b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Place the small hoop inside the large hoop, ensuring there is equal distance all the way around. I put the embroidery hook the at top part of the wreath because it's easy to cover with the ribbon later.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Starting at the top, glue the crayons on one-by-one by using your hot glue gun; dabbing a a small dot on the top and bottom embroidery hoop, placing your crayon on top. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leave a small gap at the bottom as it can get pretty tricky to get the nice even circle if you don't. Spacing as you go works well; and you don't need to be afraid of pull off the crayon if you make a mistake - I did that many times!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've seen many tutorials that have you lay out the crayons on the embroidery hoops first, but don't waste your time with that. It takes too long and the crayons never stay in place anyway.</span></div>

I just tied a bow at the top, but you can get more creative if you want. Just make sure that the bow or knot is tight at the top so when you hang up the wreath it doesn't fall down!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but I'm a migraine sufferer. They've recently become more frequent and severe that I thought it would be good idea to add my experience to the general migraine discussion that's going on out there.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's start at the beginning.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My migraines actually started when I was a pre-teen. I would get constant headaches and eventually my parents took me to see our family doctor. At that time they weren't diagnosed as migraines, just really bad headaches, and I was put on Tylenol 3.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a while, they seemed to have just disappeared. It was amazing. Then out of know where, when I was around 17 - 18, they came back in full force; more severe and became relatively frequent. I remember the very first time they came back; I was driving my car and all of a sudden I had a severe migraine with aura (though I didn't know what that was at the time). I immediately called my doctor, who referred me to an Optomitrist right away. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Optomitrist dilated my pupils </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(since most of my migraines centre around my left eye), </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and he took a good look at what was going on in the back on my eyes. When doctor's dilate your pupils, they can see your optic nerve and the blood vessels in your retina. Because he saw what was going on , he was the one to officially diagnose my migraine.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The type of migraine I suffer from is Ophthalmoplegic migraine, which are an uncommon type of migraine headache in which the eye region is the focal point of pain. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While it was good to finally get a diagnoses, at the time I was really just told to find a trigger and was given a comparable to Tylenol 3. While they worked back then, Tylenol does nothing for them now.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finding a trigger is a major part of what I struggle with now. They are random; they come at night, during the day, when I just wake up, and sometimes when I'm just sitting on the couch doing nothing.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But what about you; are you a migraine sufferer? How do you cope? I would love to hear your thoughts.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During my posts about migraine's, I'll continue to talk about my struggles and how I cope with them. My next migraine post will focus on my struggle with finding a trigger.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for joining in this journey, I really appreciate it.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My husband and I took a kid-free trip in the Spring, and it
was pure bliss (because having some alone time is hard to get sometimes!). We
spent a week in Runaway Bay, surrounded by lush green mountains and blue skies and beautiful sunsets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Runaway Bay is a town in Saint Ann Parish on the
northern coast of Jamaica and is considered one of the most naturally
beautiful places on the island. It’s also located 16 km west of Ocho RĂos.
There, we stayed at the beautiful <a href="http://www.bahia-principe.com/en/hotels/runaway/resort-jamaica/">Grand
Bahia Principe Jamaica</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you walk into the grand lobby of the resort, you’re
greeted with nothing but smiles from the resort staff. The service at this
resort was nothing short of exceptional. They truly aim to please; especially
when the first thing they hand you is a welcome drink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQz_7STgQt9pMGkbPcdIeRQsT3RJPZd9aYBMVs9d02-c61wcL1KUOxSoRADTcvNQfojV2NkTmUc8Lt64g9y8v1b1dNkKIMQXyMJk7HljWJHvZHBVErnMyXZ1LAO5UHZyvme4_KIBAoLvul/s1600/IMG_2884.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQz_7STgQt9pMGkbPcdIeRQsT3RJPZd9aYBMVs9d02-c61wcL1KUOxSoRADTcvNQfojV2NkTmUc8Lt64g9y8v1b1dNkKIMQXyMJk7HljWJHvZHBVErnMyXZ1LAO5UHZyvme4_KIBAoLvul/s1600/IMG_2884.JPG" height="478" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The resort itself is family-friendly and I was actually
surprised at how many children were at the resort (including many infants).
Having said that, we hardly noticed they were even there. There were no screaming
or crying kids, there are plenty of kid-friendly activities, and the resort is
so big that we hardly ever saw them. I guess that can happen when your resort
has 850 rooms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a lot of activities to do at the resort; this
includes windsurfing, tennis, snorkelling, catamaran, kayaks, and bicycles. You
can also check out the shopping centre or the nightly entertainment. We really didn't do any of the resort activities; we really just had a relaxing vacation and spent a lot of time by the pool and on the gorgeous resort beach. To sit by the pool all day, for three days in a row was bliss I tell you. Pure bliss!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are also plenty of things to do outside of the resort.
We went on a tour to Ocho RĂos that included a botanical garden tour, a visit to a local
flea market, a visit to </span><a href="http://www.dunnsriverfallsja.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dunn’s
River Falls</a>. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On this particular day we had </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a truly authentic Jamaican Beef Patty. You really haven't had a beef patty until you've had one in Jamaica. It was ah-mazing!<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The vacation itself came at a really good time for Doug and I. We are constantly striving to improve our relationship and I feel like this vacation really helped us communicate and get to know each other more as a couple. We really couldn't have asked for a better destination. I would truly recommend going to Jamaica if you ever get the chance. It's such an amazing country, the people are fantastic and the food is amazing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eric turned four this past July and this year he had a Hot Wheels themed party. We had a racin' good time (see what I did there?).</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It turned out really well; and though I used a lot of Pinspiration for this I made all the decorations on my own with the exception of the water bottle labels - I bought those from Etsy (whose shop no longer exists unfortunately). For the race cars I used for the food tent labels, I bought the clip art <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/cloudstreetlab?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm super happy how it turned out and the birthday boy definitely had an awesome day. His three hour nap afterwards proved it.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been about a month since Eric has started school and although it was a bumpy start, he seems to be really enjoying himself. I really thought I would be a crier but I actually didn't cry at all; I think I was just too excited for him. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But in all honesty, he can stop growing any time now.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All the kids in his class are super cute though; and there's just something about little kids with their over-sized backpacks that just makes you smile. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first couple of weeks were slightly rough for Eric. Though he is fully potty trained (except at night), he really regressed when school started. Mostly with pooping in his underpants instead of the potty. He didn't ask for help, he was went in his underwear. Every time I asked him why, he really didn't have any answer. I know it takes a while for kids to adjust, but I really wasn't expecting it. Luckily he knows how to clean himself up and that I always send him with a change of clothes, because the teachers are not allowed to go into the bathroom with the children.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He's in the before and after care program too since Doug and I both commute for work. He really likes that part of the day because most of it is in the gym. They play games, do crafts, have snacks, and just the other day another kid gave him a couple of his Pokemon cards. He now wants to start collecting them (I'm not to excited about that).</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All in all, full day Kindergarten is a good thing. He's learning, he's more interested in books, and he's making new friends, among other things. The only thing I don't like is how tired he is at the end of the day! I mean, he sometimes falls asleep on the couch right when he gets home, or will actually fall asleep on the five minute car ride home from the school. He's still a napper though; and not just because we like him to nap, but because he actually <i>needs </i>it. He's such a cranky boy when he's tried and doesn't get enough sleep. Naps definitely help that.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having said that, I know he's going to make such great progress and take everything as it comes the best way he can. I plan to post regular updates on his school life not only for my own documentation, but since I also joined the school council, I want to share some of our projects and school improvement to give other parents idea's.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for sharing our journey with us!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a firm believer that every woman is unique and beautiful, and that we all deserve to have that one (or two) pieces of clothing that makes us feel sexy.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my world, that's where Gipsy Dharma can come in!</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gipsy Dharma is UK-based company specializing in handmade, leather clothing and footwear. And I have to say, don't those skirts look awesome?!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to their website, 'Gipsy Dharma boots
are designed to help people in their journey by, if only slightly, beautifying
their lives, inspiring them, raising their level of self-awareness and by
giving them a lucky sign to start fresh. After all, don't we all have a
little free spirited Gipsy in us just waiting to get out and explore? :)'</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So on Sunday evening when I was having my husband take some outfit photo's of me for my 'Weekend Wear' post, my three year-old was watching and decided he wanted to take some pictures too (even in his mismatched pyjama's).</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After watching me do my thing, here's how his turned out.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well didn't this week just fly by!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seriously though, where did this week go? I guess having two long weekends in a row makes time fly, but who's complaining?</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's how my week went.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. My husband threw me a surprise pre-birthday dinner get-together at Canyon Creek Chophouse. It was really nice to have dinner and get to chat with some friends; some who even came from out of town. We then had people back at the house for some cards. Overall, it was just a great night with friends.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, and if I haven't said it before, you should check out <a href="http://canyoncreekrestaurant.ca/" target="_blank">Canyon Creek</a> - they have the best steak around.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Michael <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">Bublé</span>. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Honestly, I love him. Each time I see him, I end of loving him even more. He's funny, charming, he knows how to entertain, and of course, that voice of his. Me and some girlfriends went to see his concert in Toronto this past Saturday and it was such a fun girls night out.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yup.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It finally happened.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I turned 30.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some reason I was really dreading this day. I mean, <i>30</i>. Three whole <i>decades</i>.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I guess in the back of my mind (and probably the back of many of our minds when we think of it), is that our boobs will automatically be at our knees, our hair will start turning grey, and that our skin will start to wrinkle (scratch that last one, it's already started).</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">30 is not old at all; I am just beginning to really take a hold of the sails for many aspects of my life even though I have established other parts of it.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I look back at all I accomplished in my 30 years, I have a pretty long list.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a college diploma, as well as a post-grad certificate, I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful 3 year-old boy, I own a home, have a good job, and I am working towards my dream job part-time with the hopes of making it full time really soon. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year, my husband planned a surprise birthday dinner the Friday before my birthday, and then we went away for the long weekend up to our cottage at Sauble Beach. We had an amazing family weekend.</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually don't think life could be any better for me and I should really care less about getting older. I should just continue to enjoy life and continue on my wonderful journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turning 30 is really no big deal; it's just another day. So my advice if you're worried about it:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. I went to Chicago last weekend and came back on Monday! My Aunt and Uncle live in Chicago and my relatives from England were visiting, so my mom, brother and I took a road trip to visit everyone. It was amazing; Chicago is truly one of my favourite places to visit. I just love visiting and spending time with family.</span></center>
