Wish You Were Here!

Yep, it was our turn to send postcards!  

My Beautiful Princess!

We were lucky enough to be able to take a trip to Disneyland and celebrate birthdays while we were there (Sam - 1 and Piper - 4). What a magical adventure! From favourite rides (Teacups, Jungle Cruise, Tiki Room) to becoming a princess, Rapunzel to be exact, (at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique) it was amazing to see my daughter discover Disney for the first time.  We all enjoyed Carsland and Fantasy Faire - the imagineers do such an amazing job with all of their projects! We are big fans!

The Amazing Bus!

My son (who turned one) was really just along for the ride. And funnily enough his favourite ride was the bus that we rode to and from the airport and to and from the park - easy to please! He did grab a Winnie the Pooh off the shelf that was the size of him and wouldn't let it go. It was his birthday so we figured it was the perfect gift! And really who could say no?

As I mentioned we sent out some postcards from our lovely, warm, fun-filled spring break! And as one person has already mentioned - a little Disney magic in mailboxes here and there from us! Wishing you all could have been there or at least that you get to experience the magic with your own loved ones sometime soon.


Also, heading out into the world is a stack of thank you notes for birthday gifts and various other sundry reasons! Also, a couple other special pieces! I love the mystery and gift of mail!

Would love to hear some of your favourite Disney memories/moments!

344/1000 12 postcards, 24 heartfelt thank you cards & 2 mystery pieces of mail! On a roll!

Thanks for Your Patience!

Oh...hello there...good friend. I've missed you.

You look fantastic by the way!

...just breaking the ice :)

I've had my blog window open on my computer for over a week now...wondering if I can just sneak in a new post...you know, like I've been doing it regularly for the last (eep!) two years.

I kind of took a sabbatical, went on hiatus, got lost in the desert and by that I mean wow, life is crazy amazing and just swept me away, as only it can do. And guess what? I didn't stop sending out mail, I just didn't blog about it. I thought a lot about blogging every time I let an envelope gather speed and fly through the mail. I'm probably pretty close to my goal or at least halfway but really it would be easy to just say that wouldn't it and to be honest I didn't keep track. So I'm going to start from January 1st...I actually started writing them down...must have known that blogging was in my future once again.

And what was I doing while I was gone you ask?

Well among other things...I was watching my beautiful baby Piper turn into an amazing little girl who I love more and more everyday! And wow, she is almost 4! And rumour has it, she would like a rainbow cake for her birthday (at least that is the latest intel-I'll ask again in 5 minutes).

9 days old

And last year we went from a family of 3 to a family of 4 when we welcomed our sweet little Sam(uel) into our lives.

6 months

He is growing super fast and keeping us on our toes!

10 months

And here he is now - my sweet, smiling, baby boy Sam (who is almost one already)





Thank you to Candice Wong at Candice Wong Photography who took these beautiful photos of my Sam. She has an amazing gift.

So I guess a little "Thanks for your patience" is in order :) And now back to our regularly scheduled program...1000 pieces of mail here I come, and off they go.

Running the numbers: Norway (2), California (1), AB (2) and BC (14). That'll be 19 (it's a start...again).
