A long wait at the hospital

This week was very eventful! My sister went into labour and had baby Claire. It was a big suprise since she was a bit early and we all thought it was going to be a boy! I guess a lot of people end up having their baby on a full moon and my sister was one of them. Claire is so beautiful and so tiny. I am so excited to be an aunt and take Claire on many adventures. We were at the hospital all day but she was worth the wait! Thankfully, I had the day off so I was able to go to Toronto. I can't wait to see her again and spend more time with her.

In less important news, exam season is coming up and I am quite dreading it but I guess who isn't? The only good thing about end of the semester exams is that you get time off. I am such a procrastinator though so I am interested to see how I do haha. This weekend was the last weekend that was study free. I did some shopping and Mike and I got lattes and walked around Victoria Park, where they had decorated it all up for christmas. It was so pretty to look at and it wasn't too cold of a night where I couldn't enjoy it which was great.I wish I had a profesisonal camera to take better photos of the lights and just for this blog in general. In the weeks to come, we are going to go ice skating. I am terrible, so there is going to be a lot of falling and blisters. Mike thinks he will be good because he is a good rollerblader. I told him it's not the same thing but he's convinced. I guess we shall see!

Polka dot shorts...not the 90s kid tv show ;)

Shorts: Urban behaviour, Shoes: thrifted,
Shirt: Walmart, Necklace: gift, sunglasses: Forever 21


This outfit was quite cheap, which I love. There is nothing quite like getting a whole outfit for say under 30 dollars. The shirt was 14, shorts were 5, shoes were 6, necklace was a gift, and sunglasses were a 1.50. I wore this outfit to the home county folk festival. It is a festival with folk music, food and vendors selling very pretty ( and expensive!) art and jewelry. It was a fun time and for once I was able to listen to the performances ( lately when Mike and I go to festivals we don't stay too long because it has been so hot out and we don't want to waste money on drinks). This time we were smart and brought drinks with us :). The shoes that I wore are my most comfortable pair I own which makes them perfect for festivals. I call them my granny shoes :). Since summer is going very quickly I decided to make a list of things I wanted to do before it ends. It includes:
-have campfire with mike ( done once)
-rooftop screening of a movie at citiplaza
 ( roof top screening?! so excited. If you are in the london area check it out!)
-drive-in ( done 2X)
-blueberry picking
-beach (done 3X)
-ride bike more often!
-casino slots!
-beer festival
-paint pictures with mike and then swap them :)
-go out for breakfast

What is on your bucket list for summer?
