Welcome to our newest series on the Blended Blog! We came up with this idea at the Vegas blog conference and thought it would be fun to see what someone else would pick out for us to wear. Luckily, I had many willing participants in the house this particular day to use for what you are going to see today.Let me set the scene:It was a lazy Saturday morning. My mom was feeling energetic and simultaneously washing my cupboards while making a chicken caesar salad. Willis was baking cookies and our Jen was enjoying a sleep in. Lucia, having slept until 9, only...
Congratulations, Mom and Dad, everything you did planning our childhood summers has had such a huge affect on me that they have are now exactly what my children will be enjoying the most about their summers. The circle of life, or something like that I suppose. Here's a quick look at a few of the things we'll be doing in our house when summer holidays officially start on Friday.1) Summer Reading Program:I remember getting the colourful booklets to fill out of my summer reads at the Cuelenaere Library and being so pumped if mine was up on the wall.

One shirt, One Week.Last week I had a little Q&A here on the Blended Blog and this week I have a fun little post I've been working on to share with you! You can also find my regular posts over on my blog, My Little Nest.I like to push myself with my wardrobe. I've tried a capsule wardrobe, but it's just not my thing. I like to shop and I like lots of different styles, so a 30 piece wardrobe (or whatever number a capsule wardrobe is these days) is not for me. However, I sometimes forget how many ways you can wear a...

Hello! Sarah from Foxy's Domestic Side here, today we start a fun new series here on The Blended Blog. While we were trying to come up with some fun new things to do on the blog, one of us was reading ( I can't for the life of me remember who, I want to say Deena...maybe Sheila? Lana?) was reading What Alice Forgot (currently on my nightstand ready to be read), where she wakes up and can't remember the past 10 years. So for the next 6 months, the third Tuesday will be where we think we'll be in 10 years. Obviously I'm...
