Miss Shoe is back!

So, I've been going through some pretty drastic life changes over the summer. And neglected my blog just a tiny bit....

But I'm back! Only now, along with my regular subjects, I will also be blogging about life as a single mom, the ups and downs of dating, and why men suck :)

I hope that you will enjoy my new subjects, my old ones, and keep following me, even if I've been an awful blogger in the last few months!

Thanks for following me!

What a great long week end that was!

Sorry I've been a slacker lately, I've just been busy!

This week-end was our spring cleaning week-end! We got to clean everything, top to bottom! It sucks when you do it, but what a great feeling once you are done.

My mom had came over for a few days to take care of Noah while we cleaned, which was a huge help. We were fast enough to get everything done by the end of the day Saturday so we got to enjoy the rest of our week-end, woot!

Sunday we attended my cousin's little girl's baptism, and at night we made a little bondfire in our new firepit, very relaxing.

But the best part of the week-end was without a doubt, the beautiful, WARM weather. It was actually in the high 20s all week-end, very nice.

It was nice, but also quite warm, so we decided that we can't go through another summer without central A/C, so we are now shopping for a heat pump, woohoo!

Here are some pictures of Noah in his wagon for the very first time!

So, this whole anomymous thing...

Is making my blog pretty boring! What's a good blog without pictures!? So I decided to share pictures! Besides, my little man is so darn cute, what kind of mother would I be if I didn't show off pictures of him!?

So here's my little Noah, this week-end



Family picture on Mother's Day



So did anyone do anything fun this week-end? For us it was pretty low-key, Friday it was an at-home date night with hubby, Saturday was cleaning most of the day, then I had a presentation at a client's house at night. Got back around 9pm and hubby had invited my sister and husband to try our new firepit. Sunday is ALWAYS a family day in the Shoe Household, had my sister over again for dinner and then we watched the Habs get they ass handed to them by the Flyers...better luck Tuesday!

My name is Mademoiselle Shoe, and I'm an addict

I'm addicted to scarves! I just love that trend, it just dresses up the most casual outfits. Also if your wardrobe is limited, like mine is right now, if you wear a different scarf, it feels like a whole different outfit! So, I went a little overboard, my collection is now up to 20 something different scarves, and the number keeps going up, everytime I go to the store I get a new one! or two!

I just can't help myself, most of the time they are under ten dollars, so I'm like, ''oh what's 7 bucks?!'', ''oh, this one is on clearance, $2.99, score!!!'', so that's how you end up with 3 hangers full of scarves!

My husband doesn't get it, every time I get a new one he tells me, that I already have tons of them, but it's not like I'm buying the same ones, I buy different ones, to go with different outfits! Men! They don't understand fashion.

Anyone has an addiction? Please share them and make me feel like I'm not that crazy lol!

Almost a year already, really??

I'm planning my little man's first birthday party! I'm excited and sad, all at the same time. I'm happy because , I looooove to plan parties, I'm proud of how big and strong my baby is getting. But I'm sad because it means he is not a tiny baby anymore, just seems like yesterday that he was just that little not-even seven pounds baby, and now he is almost a toddler! How did that happen so fast?!

So about the party, I chose to do a jungle theme, and I'm trying to keep the guestlist short, which is pretty hard to do since we have so many people involved in our lives and most importantly, in our little boy's life. I guess it's a good problem to have lol!

Now I need to find a jungle themed cake design to give to my baker!

Random thoughts

- Why is there a light in the dryer? I mean really? Oh right, I forgot, it must be for those nights when I decide to curl up in my dryer with a good book....

- I truly believe the world would be a better place if the Handi-Snacks would come apart easily, without having to use scissors every time. I also have to admit, I try to rip them apart with my hands every.single.time, to this day I have never succeeded, maybe next time

- I only buy lottery tickets when the jackpot is super high, like 40 millions, because you know, with a new baby, my maternity leave almost over, I could NOT use 10 millions...

-As I'm typing this, I'm watching a real estate guy installing a for sale sign on my neighbors lawn, they are an older couple, with no kids, and they are kinda weird. I'm hoping they sell to a mid-twenties couple, with a kid same age group as my son, and with a mom that is a stay at home mom, oh and if she could have an addiction to shoes that would be just perfect. What??? You have to ask for a lot to get a little!

Went to see ''The Back up plan''

So instead of going of for dinner like we had planned, we choose to go for a movie instead. I convinced my husband to go see the new romantic comedy ''The Back Up Plan'', starring Jennifer Lopez. We both really enjoyed it, well, me more than him of course, but it was very funny so he liked it too.

It was a cute story, just a sit back and relax kinda movie, which I needed! I really like Jennifer Lopez as an actress, she's always cute and picks nice romantic comedies. Her co-stars was pretty easy to look at too ;) I rarely really laugh out loud for movies but there was quite a few scenes that actually made me crack up :) Especially since most of the movie is about being pregnant, and of course I could relate all too well to most stuff!

So no one will be nominated for an Academy Award for that movie but I still recommend it to everyone who wants a relaxing movie.

I give ''The Back Up Plan'' 4 shoe stars :)

Here's the trailer
