A little bit about me and some of my favourite things ….

Snuggles with my two little ones. They are my whole heart. Date nights with my husband to the same four restaurants lol. We are creatures of habit. Wine, preferably red, or Prosecco. Tea and lots of it. My garden is my happy place. I have a small flower farm and flower stand and I hope to expand this passion of mine. We have four hilarious little ducks, 1 Indian Runner and 3 Muscovy. Strolls around our beautiful neighbourhood. Cozy coffee shops and skinny vanilla lattes or London Fogs. The ocean is SO good for my soul, I could never live away from it. Dark dark chocolate. Movies and cuddles on the couch. I looooove Maui. Boots all year round, definitely. Sushi. I am proud to be Canadian. I will own a french bulldog one day. Places I have travelled: England, France, Scotland, Turkey, Greece, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Mexico, Oahu and Maui and a few more little snippets of Canada and the U.S. I hate being late. Pinterest, I am obsessed. Instagram, I am relatively new to it, but fully addicted. My mom is one of my best friends. I have a growing cookbook collection. I try to practice living a life full of gratitude. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day, Kim :)

Gian turns One

March 10, 2009

I have had the pleasure of shooting a few birthday parties and they are always so filled with colour, excitement, and contagious energy. Gian’s party on the weekend was no exception. In fact, this birthday party was incredible. There was a TON of people (probably more than will be at my wedding this summer!) a lot of yummy food, a pile of presents and goodie bags, balloons galore, a beautiful cake and last but not least…clowns!!

Now when then the clowns first arrived they were not a huge hit with a couple of the kiddies, but everyone eventually warmed up to them and the room was full of laughter. They put on a wonderful show, complete with doves, waterworks and feathers. Everyone had quite the laugh when one of the little party goers pointed out that they will have to clean all of this up before they go.

Before the party really got underway I was able to steal Gian and his parents, Amy and Preet, away for a few quick family photos.

Here are some of my favourites from the day.
