Weekly Vlog | Reading Anne & A Proper Cuppa of Tea! 🫖

Hope you are all well my lovely friends. Here is how my week went. 

Spring is here. I started my seedlings, I am reading Anne of Green Gables and we went to the beach. 

A blessing to be here. 

Thank you all for your lovely comments on the video. It means so much to me. 

Thank you and see you in next weeks vlog!

Happy Spring! Joyful April!

 

Hello my wonderful friends! I hope you are all well. Spring has arrived on PEI! The temperature has reached in the plus zone and the sun is out. The sun is out longer and I am so excited!

This month we celebrate three birthdays in our home. My husband's, my daughter's and my birthday. It's a busy month. We already celebrated my husband's B-day and next is my daughters. A lot of cake! :)  

We went and had sushi for my hubby's b-day and it was great. 

We also love this ice cream that tastes like bubblegum. So good. 

This is my new Leuchtturm1917 Planner. I love it! 

I decorated it with stickers. Stickers rock. 

I am really excited to fill this up. Last year I filled up my Leuchtturm journal with so many things like, lists, likes, goals, art, journal entries and collages. This year I chose the bullet journal with thinner pages which I don't mind because they turn out crunchier and have texture, which I love. 

I've abandoned the #100DayProject

But when I do have time I create art and DIY projects.

I think projects and challenges don't work with my lifestyle right now. 

Too much pressure. :)  I am not a fan of pressure. 

Lately I am more of go with the flow kind of person. 

Also don't be hard on your self and

Go with the flow and listen to your mind and body. 

This is the sushi place we went to in Summerside PEI. 

It's okay. I've had better in Toronto.

Decorations for my hubby's Birthday...

Auggie and Ziggy are happy and doing well.

I am reading Anne of Green Gables of course! :) 

Thank you so much to TRIND for the goodies. 

I am truly grateful and my nails are doing so much better with these two products. 

DIY Re-Usable jar into a candle holder or pen holder or brush holder. 

I used pressed flowers from Toronto and fabric paper and glue. It is so lovely. 

This was the last snowfall at the beginning of April. 

The snow is slowly melting and I am so happy.

I uploaded some shorts and vlogs at the beach! :)

Vlogtober Week 2 🎃

Hello lovey friends! Here is my vlog. I hope you enjoy it and sending you all my positivity and love. 

Moving...

It feels like a dream! Time went by so fast. We packed up and moved out of the busy city to a small town in PEI. Selling the house was stressful and finding a house even more stressful. Moving has been a whirl-wind of emotions. It’s very emotional to leave familiar surroundings, it's very hard to leave family and friends. We miss everyone so much.

I’m not going to miss the Toronto traffic and overpopulated areas. I’m not going to miss the consistent city noise. The noise pollution was very intense and it was causing many problems to my mental health. Traffic, noise pollution, air pollution, crime, hustle and bustle…not going to miss you! 

Driving over the confederation bridge was breathtaking! It is beautiful here. It takes time to adjust and to get use to a new lifestyle and pace of life. Things move slower here and traffic is less. Local food is amazing. I was worried the first week with the changes but I’m slowly embracing everything. There is beauty all around us here. Farm land, ocean, lighthouses, windmill farms and more. The locals are super nice and friendly. Everyone knows everyone by their name. 

I love the house that we moved into. We are still opening up boxes and are putting things in place. We definitely look forward to personalizing the house to fit our style but overall I am so grateful for the home. 

I was worried how my girls would adjust to new schools and so far things are great. The PEI schools are great. They provide food programs and even pay for student’s school supplies. 

Since we’ve been here we have visited the West Point Lighthouse beach, the potato museum which has amazing food, especially the blueberry bread pudding! So so good! We’ve visited Summerside and Charlottetown. There’s so much to see and do here. The summer attractions are now closed but I am sure there is so much more to do in the Fall. I can’t wait! 

Thank you all for reading my blog post today, I appreciate it. I hope you are all well my friends. 

Much love and positivity!

Maria
