Happy Canada Day Everyone!!!! I hope you are all enjoying Summer’s first long weekend. I know we are. We are up in the Okanagan soaking up some much needed sun.
I thought I would make this post a miscellaneous one showcasing what we’ve been up to lately. Below is a picture of my son at his first day of preschool and last day.
Below is the teacher’s gift we gave to both of us his teachers. I got the idea off of Pinterest. I bought Starbuck reusable cups, added some paper grass and put a gift card in the top. I then put a thank you note from Aiden. His writing is better then some doctors I know :)!!!
These are the cupcakes I made for the East Side school I make monthly birthday cupcakes for. This time around, I went with a Summer theme, complete with sand and a bear.
We recently turned our son’s room into a big boy room, complete with a big boy bunk bed and bought some fabulous Star Wars wall stickers from an online store called Room Mates. I discovered this site through another fellow blogger. This store is amazing. They have every themed wall sticker you can imagine. Since my son’s favorite is R2D2 (he hasn’t seen the movie, just from playing Lego Star Wars with my husband), I bought him a life size R2 and some other Star Wars themed stickers to go with it. This company does ship to Canada and you don’t pay any duty. It arrived within 2 weeks. The prices are more than reasonable and they are great quality. Here are the stickers we got.
Life Size R2D2
Thanks to these stickers and his amazing big boy bed, Aiden absolutely loves going to sleep in his big boy room. He has told us many times how much he loves his room and how cool it is. He can’t stop thanking us for it. Thank you Room Mates for these fabulous stickers for making this mom and family very, very happy.
So moms if you want a fairly cheap way to decorate your child’s room without leaving marks on the walls, this is a great way of doing it.
Last but not least, I wanted to wish Canada a Happy 146th Birthday. Happy Birthday Canada!!!! May everyone enjoy this beautiful day with their families.
Happy Monday Everyone!!!!

Those cupcakes are so cute. And Happy Birthday to all of my Canadian friends.

Those cupcakes, yet again, look FABULOUS! And the teacher’s gift is so thoughtful! We’ve done something similar for gifts and used the message “Thanks a Latte!” Love it!
