IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE WEEK

I live for Fridays. Actually, scratch that - I live for weekends. I relish time spent in quiet; completely un-rushed. Waking in the morning with sunlight spilling all over the floor, crisp coffee, pajamas until noon, leg warmers, movie marathons and time to do whatever I please to do (or not do). This weekend is no exception.

Amy and I have planned a “doggy date” with three little munchkins in the sunshine that Vancouver is supposed to be blessed with tomorrow. Also this weekend marks a birthday, so I am honoured with the duty of spending all of Sunday in the kitchen, cooking and baking up a storm. Truth be told, the Martha Stewart in me adores the task and I’m more than excited about it.

In the spirit of all things Friday at 5pm, here’s a little link love to kick off your weekend…

  • In just a few short sleeps (5 to be exact), Army & Navy is holding its annual shoe sale at all three Lower Mainland locations. Rebecca and I will be camped out along West Cordova Street on Wednesday morning with the masses, hoping to get our manicured hands on some Steve Madden heels. Feel free to drop by to bring us well wishes, early morning hugs, americano coffees or Starbucks’ ginger molasses cookies.
  • Next weekend Canada Place opens its doors to EP!C: The Sustainable Living Expo.

    Greening your life is easy - all you need is a little education and inspiration. EPIC has lots of both. Join us for this three day celebration of green living, and surround yourself with truly inspiring people and environmentally innovative products.

    Running from April 18-20, join myself, Rebecca and the rest of the happyfrog frogbloggers as we take in Vancouver’s largest green consumer show and eco-marketplace. I’ll have more info on the event over the next week posted both here and on the frogblog, including information on a special guest appearance.

  • The Comox Valley is awaiting the possibility of a huge announcement after the weekend when Environment Minister Barry Penner makes his way to the Island. Hopes are up that the Provincial government will flush $4 million dollars into the Tsolum River Restoration Project in an effort to protect this vital water supply. [article]
