back to reality

Coming back to the city and then back to work after a relaxing long weekend away is almost tortuous. You look so forward to the weekend for weeks and it goes by in a flash.....we seriously need at least 2 long weekends a month to stay sane! This is my fourth Thanksgiving away from my family... which is fine {during University I was always working anyways}. This year like I mentioned earlier I went up to Manitoulin Island! I love love love going there! The ferry ride over is the best part, it really breaks the trip up so you're not driving the whole time and you can drink delish Caesars and watch Lake Huron go by while doing it! Once you're on the island life is literally at a standstill, it's so quiet the days linger on and the weather is almost always perfect! It was the best Thanksgiving setting for sure!  Hot apple cider, board games and turkey! Here are a few snapshots from the weekend! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving..... next stop... Christmas!*

Happy Thanksgiving!

YAY! Finally the long weekend! This week went by so slowly but it's finally Friday and Thanksgiving weekend! Tonight I am heading up to Manitoulin Island for the weekend! So excited to cottage this time of year, its so cold and you get to be so cuddly and warm....and eat lots of turkey! I love summer and dread the fall and winter but once the fall arrives I really enjoy it! All the awesome falls clothes, crisp air, beautiful colours and pumpkin spice lattes {pumpkin spice anything!} ...yummy! To get in the spirit of fall and Thanksgiving, I've shared some of favorite DIY's! Happy Thanksgiving!!*
