Fun in the Sun! July

bestdayblogger blog top

I’ve been so busy with the kids. I’ve been trying to entertain them and keep them active. So far the summer has been very good. I’m enjoying every minute. Not every moment is perfect. Life is not perfect. This summer has and continues to test my patience. Not only from my children but from people all around me. Waiting in line, more people at the malls and sometimes the HEAT. Heat is not my favourite thing. Loud noises everywhere and no calmness. Always on the go and no time for my self. As I’m writing this I have anxiety that my children are going to call me. Even on the toilet they call me! lol Seriously?I love them to bits, don’t get me wrong but are any other parents feeling this right now?

The kids keep me young!

Watched Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation at Scarborough Town Centre. The hot popcorn was delicious. We had fun and I can’t wait to see Incredibles 2 and also Winnie the Poo!! When is that one coming out? I’m a kid at heart.

Yesterday I decided to have them do nothing. I didn’t take them anywhere and they found this strange. lol omg so funny to even write this out. So they did a little painting and are watching YouTube. They are obsessed with SQUISHY videos. Squishies are very addictive I must add. I love them too.

I know this won’t last for ever and  that’s why I’m shifting my thoughts to be positive and trying really hard to stay calm and collected. July has been eventful. Hot sun, fun fairs and swimming. Visits to the mall for overpriced ice cream and treats.

More swimming and fun in the sun.

I’m lost in the summer adventures and don’t have a list to follow. Who does? Lists don’t work very well with #MOMLIFE do they? If so please let me know what your trick is. The girls and I made a fun bucket list. We have many things to complete. I’m not in a rush though. I don’t want to stress.

This summer feels different than last summer. I’ll be honest and tell you that this summer feels a little more down for me. I guess because some of life’s stresses are effecting me. My mind is my enemy and stress is not good at all for my health. I’m trying to figure things out and I know it will be okay.


We went to a fair. It was lovely but not as good as the CNE.  I can’t wait for the CNE!

This day was so hot we all ended up dehydrated and sunburned. But it was fun.

I lost my sunglasses and right after the fair I rushed to find another pair.


So overall things have been lovely. The weather has calmed down and there is no extreme heat warming which is good. I would like to get more organized…at least try. I’m behind on my favourites. Forgive me. I’m hoping to travel around Ontario. Trying to. It’s hard for my husband to find time especially with construction around the house. *Sigh*  I’ll be okay. Things will work out.


THANK YOU FOR THE PR!

I  received lovely PR. Thank you so much to Avon Canada, Chick Advisor and Pixi Beauty.

More details coming soon for Pixi Beauty GLOW collection.

My little Angelina graduated from kindergarten and is off to grade one. Time goes by so fast.  My eldest is heading to grade 6! I’m nervous for both of them but also very excited.

Today is the last day of school. I thought it was Friday but it isn’t. I woke up with a sore throat and I can feel something happening behind my eyes. I took a vitamin C and zinc tablet along with a natural throat spray. I guess i’m a bit stressed and worried. I do this to my self and I shouldn’t. When I think too much my immune system breaks down. I’m thinking about my girls having a good summer. I’m thinking about finding a job. I’m always thinking about being the best mom that I can be and how I can make things better all the time. I’m thinking about the education system and lifestyle in Toronto.  Even though things are fine and will be fine I always do this. I really want the best for my girls.

I need to live in the moment more. I try…believe me I try.

The garden is growing nicely. I’ll be vlogging this long weekend. I vlogged a bit of the garden if you like to have  a look.

I’ve been loving some new PR that has come my way. I’ve been enjoying Garnier Skin Active line. Everything is super amazing with lots of hydrating benefits. I love how gentle the gel wash is. The face mist is so lovely for the summer. I carry that with me in my bag. I love to use it anytime I need my skin to feel refreshed. The Soothing balm is so good and I love using it as a mask. The wipes are brilliant and gentle and take my makeup off perfectly. I Love them! Thank you Garnier Canada for these beautiful skincare products. All the Garnier Skincare products are now paraben free!

I’m madly in love with the Make Up For Ever Artist Pencils. So creamy and soft on the lips.  They come in 39 shades.  They are intense matte colours. Very creamy and blend so nicely. They are $23.00 each. They are sold at Sephora and Sephora.ca. The nude colour is 602 completely Sepia and the burgundy one is 718 Free Burgundy.

I’ve been using the VICHY Aqualia Thermal Serum and face cream. #Freesamples via Influenster Canada. I love them so much. The packaging is super cute. I love the formula of both these products. First time using Vichy and I love them! Very light formula that is super hydrating and makes my skin feel very good and soothed. Thank you so much Influenster!

I absolutely love Le Petit Marceillais body wash. The red one is my favourite but then this new one came out and it’s Mandarin Lime and I love it! They are all very lovely body washes. They smell so good and foam up beautifully. Love how clean my skin feels. Fabulous!

Adventure, Art and Paint Party Friday! 

Fun Things to do With your Kids in the Summer! TORONTO

We had so much fun at the AGO and ROM. Totally fun!

This month I plan to go a few more places before school starts. It’s a lot of work to take the girls on day trips but totally exciting and so worth it. Last week I took them to the Toronto Public Library and made Library cards for them. They loved it there! They looked around played with hands on activities and found some fun books. The library is new and beautiful and we really love it. We also took a little walk around Scarborough Civic Centre. It’s really lovely area. We bought some food and drinks at the mall and we sat outside to eat. A beautiful summer day!

It was a wonderful adventure in our own neighbourhood. We really enjoyed our day trip and I look forward to more fun trips this month. I’m hoping to go to the science centre, the aquarium and the CNE. I also would like to go down to the beach and hopefully travel to Niagara on the Lake.

On our trip I carried my LeSportSac Backpack. I won it on IG and I absolutely love it! It’s been amazing to have it around this summer. I love how light the material is and yet so strong. Amazing! It is definitely one of my favourites for July. You can see the bag in my VLOG when we went to the ROM. Have a look if you like. ROM VLOG.

Speaking of July favourites, lets have a look at all my faves for last month. I made a video and look forward to your lovely comments. You are all so wonderful and supportive. I always appreciate everything you write.
