A few things...

First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. Talia was absolutely enamored with all the fireworks and would emit such enthusiastic "oohs" and "ahhs" whenever she saw them explode in the sky. Is there nothing better than experiencing the world through the wonder of a child? I love that about her.

Second, I am happy to share with you a website that one of my good friends is launching tomorrow (July 5.) Booya Deal lists one deal a day at an awesome price and features local businesses in Orange County. I am very excited about the first product they will be presenting, a beautiful necklace from 31 bits! This is a wonderful company that empowers and gives opportunity to women in Northern Uganda. So check them out and make sure you head on over to Booya Deal for a sweet 50% off deal! 

Finally, here are a few more pictures from the last bit of our trip to Canada last month. It took me a quite while to get to them but without further adieu here they are! 

We met up with my grandparents one afternoon at Saskatoon Berry Farm in Okotoks.

We found a pretty field to have a picnic lunch at

We also spent one morning at Lake Bonavista. I have so many memories here as a kid and it was neat to see my own daughter enjoy it too.

 Of course we had to stop in for a bite to eat at my Grandma and Grandpa's house.

 I love this... Having a spot of tea with the great grands.

The night before I left I was driving back to my parents's house and I pulled over to take this photo. The clouds were just so lovely as dusk was settling in and I couldn't resist!
