Tuesday...around the world. "Monkeying around"

With a slightly looser schedule and the kiddos home for the summer....our closets and drawers were calling out to us so loud,  we couldn't ignore it any longer (though we gave it our best shot.....)!

And you know what happens when you start cleaning out, sorting, purging etc? 
You find.....TREASURE!!!

And what could be better than finding mama's old hats and shoes?

Maybe that's where the expression - "hitting the mother lode" comes from.

I seem to recall doing the same as a kid. Opening my mother's old trunks was like finding the jewels of the Nile.


Not much has changed.

(I'm posting these pictures....not for their quality, obviously, but for their joy factor which hits the top for me.)

Enjoy a little trip around the world now.

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
