Going Private....

Hey everyone!! 

Remember a while back I had said that I was thinking of making my blog private for a while?  Well I think the time is NOW.  I figure if I wait til I'm pregnant to do it then it might be obvious that I AM pregnant HAHA So this week sometime I will be privatizing this blog.  PLEASE send me your emails at daisy.gosionglim@gmail.com so I can add you! I'd LOVE it if everyone kept following and that I can announce good news soon!!!!!  I'll open up this blog to the public again when it's time to ANNOUNCE that we're pregnant to the public!

Happy 2 Year Anniversary To Us!!!

Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary!!!!  

Us on our wedding day....

If I had to sum up the last 2 years in one word it would be FUN.

Time sure flies by!! In the 2 short years we've been married we've done some pretty fun stuff together...trips(Hawaii, Vegas, California...and other local places), milestones (puppy and house) and celebrations (jobs, school).

It's been great living together, just the 2 of us (with Tobey) but we're sooo looking forward to starting the next chapter in our family...a baby (no, I'm NOT pregnant yet...but hopefully this year will be the year!).  I'm really excited about all the new changes that could come and I know that no matter what the challenges we face in the future we will have tons of FUN.

  

I was at a wedding 2 days ago and I really miss being a bride.  When I got home we talked about perhaps having a 10 year wedding renewal thing.  YAY! 

Happy Anniversary to the love of my life!!! I love you so so much!!  You are PERFECT for me and I am so glad God made us for each other.  He did me proud and I thank Him everyday for such a blessing!

Canada Day Long Weekend Getaway!

I'm back everyone!!!!  I'm feeling all ready for summer after our long weekend getaway!!! Ed and I haven't been away since before Christmas so it was nice to get away and relax a bit!!!!  

Highlights of our trip.....

• I've NEVER had a hotel room with a KITCHEN before....it was great not having to eat out every night...saved a TON of money!!!
• Tobey was pretty stressed out for the first half of the trip.  When we arrived at Whistler it was POURING rain and he was SHAKING because he did NOT recognize ANYTHING.  The hotel we stayed at was pet-friendly so there were tons of other dogs in the building as well.  He spent the entire night awake and barking whenever another dog barked/someone walked by our room.  Poor guy didn't even SLEEP!! He did a LOT better the next night and slept all night the third night.  
• Ed and I went up on the Gondola and rode across the Peak to Peak...SO beautiful! It was great to see SNOW!!!
• The Canada Day parade was cute...I can't remember the last time I saw a parade!!!  Tobey totally was into it and just watched the whole thing...so cute!
• I had THE best burger EVER at Splitz Grill....you need to go if you haven't!!
• It was great seeing all the Olympic stuff since the last time we were up at Whistler was 2 years BEFORE the Olympics....so cool!!

Photos.....

Tobey was the VIP pet the entire time we were there!!!  So special!!!

The kitchen!!!  It came with EVERYTHING we needed to cook a meal!!

Best thing at the parade...Blackcomb and Whistler with the Peak to Peak Gondolas!

Enjoying the parade in Daddy's arms since the crowd was SO big!

Going up.....

Maternity Madness! - Guest Blogger

Helloooooo everyone! My name is Laura and I am one of the co-bloggers of All Things Beautyfull. My fellow blogger Amanda is off on vacation right now but I'm sure she sends her hellos from Asia, as I send you greetings from Vancouver, B.C.! When Daisy asked me to guest blog, I wasn't sure what I should do, since I'm not really quite in the motherhood stage just yet... but I decided since the blog that I share with Amanda is all about fashion, I might as well stick with what I regularly blog about... except with a maternity twist! HAHA. So here I am, and I shall be talking to you today about...

MATERNITY CLOTHES! 

Here are some tips for maternity clothes shopping:

1) BE A BORROWER! 
The first thing I would suggest when looking into maternity clothes is to try and borrow before you buy. You don't want to spend a whole lot on clothes that will probably only last you a few months. So it makes sense to ask around first to see if your friends/family have any maternity clothes or loose-fitting shirts that you could borrow or have. As an avid thrift store and bargain hunter, I would definitely go the cheap route and look for inexpensive alternatives to buying a ton of new maternity clothes.
2) FIND PANTS WITH AN ELASTIC WAIST!
When you do start becoming a little larger around the stomach area, the last thing you want to do is feel uncomfortable and restricted with a pair of tight jeans. Look for pants or skirts with an elastic band or drawstring waist so that you can easily adjust to your growing size. I think leggings could work too, under a dress or longer top.
3) DON'T COMPROMISE YOUR STYLE!
Just because you're becoming a mother doesn't mean you have to lose all sense of personal style! You can still accessorize with a pair of pretty earrings or a statement necklace. There are so many flowy silhouettes in fashion these days so even if you're pregnant, you can definitely put on a comfortable but eye-catching loose, printed dress. Add a little colour with a floral scarf or a bright, cheery cardigan.

Now for some pictures!

I love cardigans so I would keep wearing the ones I have, if I were pregnant (Uh... KEY WORD being "IF").  Since being pregnant means having a bigger tummy area, I suggest wearing cardigans unbuttoned with a looser shirt inside.

Under the cardigan, you could wear a comfortable, loose top like the one below that still has delicate lace details.

Here's another pretty pink top!

The maxi dress look is not for everyone but I can imagine a pregnant lady gracefully walking in one of these.

Again... all these are just tips and suggestions. I guess you'll just have to wait to be at that maternity stage to see how the clothes shopping really goes.... but anyways, from one non-pregnant person to all of you readers out there, GOOD LUCK! =)

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian readers!!!!  

Hope the sun will come out today and we can all enjoy the day off with our family to celebrate the wonderful country we live in!! I'm in Whistler and there's supposed to be a parade and tons of fun stuff going on!! I'll blog all about our trip when later this week!
