Peppy Polka Dot

Tuesday, 10 April 2012


Hey Everyone!
Glad to be back to work after the long weekend? Nah, neither am I!

I did have a really lovely weekend so I shouldn't be complaining!
 This weekend a few friends and myself went on a little trip to get some quality time together and have some time spent away from the city.  We drove up on Thursday night and made the long journey up to my friends cabin which is where we stayed the rest of the weekend. It was incredibly beautiful there, lots of snow and thick greenery all around us.  The second night we headed into town to explore the nightlife and we ended up having a lot of fun dancing the night away.  It was really lovely to get away from the city for those couple days but I was happy to be back by the time we got home - I missed Jer too much!
I returned home on Saturday and spent the rest of my weekend either with Jer or packing up my house for my big move! I never realized just how much stuff I had until I started packing it all up, how on Earth did I aquire so many items?  Of course, in-between packing and watching (too many) movies with Jeremy, I got in one hair mask, one face mask, and an at home mani & pedi - so I am totally ready for this week!

In other totally amazing news, my blog has reached 300 followers! How amazing!! Totally blows  me away. I honestly gasped when I saw that! Thank you all so much for being such loyal readers and commenting on my posts with your lovely heartfelt thoughts. I am so in awe of how many wonderful people I've met from blogging, you all really have brought a whole new light to my life!
It is also so lovely how proud Jeremy is of this blog, he is constantly surprised and shocked by the growth of this blog and by the wonderful people I've met along the way. He has been such a wonderful support in my writing this blog, as I was really nervous to start it originally, and he really put my nerves to rest.  Sweetly enough, he knew I reached 300 followers before I did! We were laying down to go to sleep for the night and he handed me a card congratulating me on reaching 300 followers. How sweet is that? 


What did you all get up to this weekend?

  7. First of all, you look positively adorable in glasses. Second of all, I seriously love that polka dot peplum top of yours! So glad to hear you had a lovely Easter weekend out of town; it sounds like a great getaway. As for your big move - good luck! I feel the same way every time I move; no idea how half of it was acquired haha

    Also, congrats on the followers darling! :)
