fabulous friday challenge

Happy Friday everyone! I haven't taken many photos lately, so instead this week I thought I'd share a selection of my favourite shots from a recent wedding. It was a beautiful wedding on a day with iffy weather. It rained for a bit, then the sun came out just in time for photos and then under threatening clouds, a beautiful double rainbow appeared. It was a pretty fabulous and inspiring day.

Thank you Emily & Jon! It was without a doubt one of my favourite weddings.















And now it's your turn. Post away! I can't wait to see your photos.

A reminder of the rules:

1. The picture has to be taken by you (and feel free to have more than one shot in your post!).
2. Link up using the link to your individual blog post and not your main blog address.
4. Please include the Fabulous Friday button (below) in your post to link back to my site.
5. Leave feedback for five other participants. Let them know what you think!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week.

Here's another shot from last week's shoot. The kids weren't really into it but we got some good shots. It's kind of hard to tell, but our paintings in the background have the spooky Scooby Doo eyes going on. Or at least they are supposed to.

Time to share. I can't wait to see what inspired you this week.



I'm trialing a new look and feel starting today. Just some minor tweaks here and there. I'd love to know what you think.

day 190 - sunshine and muggles

Today was our annual trip to Goderich. It was a beautiful sunny day and nice and cool near the water.

Our one and only attempt at geocaching was foiled by some unsuspecting muggles who out of ten empty benches along the boardwalk felt the need to sit on the bench we were searching under and around. Grrr.











It was a day full of sun, sand...and testosterone. Who beats the crap out of each other with water noodles? My sons apparently.

day 189 - a beautiful, sunny day

Another beautiful summer day. This one was spent outside in the country. It's a countryside that will soon be dotted with windmills, so this view unfortunately won't last forever.





These photos are straight from my iPhone with no adjustments.

day 188 - hasta la vista windows vista

So long Windows Vista. I have disliked you since the moment I met you.

day 187 - the sorting system

My daughter Ava. Six and a half years old going on 16. Some weekends she sleeps until 10:30 and getting her to keep her room clean is a continual battle.



On the bright side, there is some method to her madness. This morning she explained her Barbie organizational system to me as she showed me her rows of dolls in the shoe organizer on the back of her door.

Ava: "These are the naked ladies, these are the half-naked ladies and these are the princesses."

day 186 - the joys of training wheels

Days and days of begging to take the training wheels off the kids' bikes resulted in this moment.



It was immediately followed by tears and begging to put them back on.

day 185 - the day the house almost burned down

Sunday night's excitement. Upon returning home from the Canada Day fireworks display, I flipped on the lights and my mom helped me carry the kids upstairs to their beds.

It took a while to figure out what the burning smell was.

Then we discovered somebody had thrown one of Scarlett's favourite toys into the entry way light.

Rest in peace Mr. Monkey.

I am grateful the house didn't burn to the ground. I will be even more grateful once the smell of burnt dog hair dissipates.

day 184 - vintage camera love

What better way to spend a Monday than do a totally impromptu photo shoot? When I woke up this morning I knew I wanted to take some pictures of the kids but I wasn't sure what they would look like.

A few minutes of surfing around online and I came across these adorable illustrations by Vol 25 and I knew exactly what we were going to do.









It was a great time and the after shoot swim was pretty fun too. Thanks Mags. :)

I don't know about you guys, but I never thought Friday would get here. It's been a long week but it's been a fabulous one.

This week started off with a Halloween photo shoot. Here's my little Ava rocking the witch costume.

fabulous friday challenge

I didn't take many pictures this week and the ones I did take aren't very exciting. It was a week filled with way too much on the go and I'm looking forward to things settling down a bit in the coming weeks.

Here's an Instagram shot from last week. Do you use Instagram? I struggle with it. The square orientation throws me off and I just can't get used to it. If anybody has some tips I'd love to hear them.

Have a great weekend and thanks for linking up.
