Daria’s Life

I can hardly believe that I’m going to blog about apples, but I recently discovered JAZZ apples at our local grocery store and have gone back several times to keep replenishing our supply. They are crisp, juicy with a delicious zip to them, and the crunch is fantastic. I was enjoying one at my [...]

Influential and inspiring mommy blogger Stephanie Nielson (”Nie Nie” as she is known to her vast audience of blog fans) and her husband Christian were in a plane crash on August 16th, and are in hospital with serious burns. Since then, word has spread across the globe, with heartfelt messages and donations pouring in for [...]

The first two days of school are now under my belt for this year and I’m doing a bit better. I know I was pretty weepy about my boys heading back to class (I just have so much fun with them when they’re around), but they are enjoying it thus far.
Joshua scored big time [...]

This morning Dylan and I routed through his entire closet and drawers, in prep for him starting High School on Tuesday. I can’t believe we moved to a city where 9th graders go to High School, I’m soooo not ready for this!!
On the bright side we organized his clothing together and have a huge donations [...]

While I was in Calgary this weekend I was able to quickly wisk my way over to Sephora with my MIL. It’s such a fun and girly place to shop, and their products are out of this world awesome. I snagged some Dior mascara and have been using it since I got back. It’s the [...]

In the midst of my mid-morning Mommy [...]

As I said to Nathan after trekking through the entire Living Desert Zoo, its more like Desert of the Living Dead because man was it scorching hot! I have never experienced such blistering temperatures, luckily we toted water everywhere we went and plied ourselves with sun-block! (yes we’re the wimpy Canadian tourists). By the end [...]

OK so I slacked off yesterday and didn’t continue with the run down, that’s only because I feel soooo run down!

Easing into vacation life was pretty easy for us, we stayed at the gorgeous Club Intrawest Resort in Palm Desert and had a two bedroom lock-out type of room. It was nice for us [...]

We have arrived back to our home from our 10 day vacation extravaganza in Palm Desert California, and a three day blissful time in Anaheim at Disneyland. This has been our first major family vacation ever, and by that I mean that typically for holidays we pack up the family and drive to visit [...]

Our dreams are coming true, Boutique Cafe is heading to California!! We’re going to be taping a Video podcast for Boutique Cafe at Disneyland next week!
I’ll be at the park next Tues, Wed, Thursday. If you’re going to be there with your kids, dress them in Boutique, we’ll be watching for you - I’d [...]
