It’s been a busy week so far. All of a sudden, my plate feels more full as a I try to juggle mom, career, health and home. But it makes me happy that I’m able to do all the things I love (well…except for the housework.)
I always enjoy the time of the week when I sit down to write my 3 Things Thursday post because I get to scroll back and look at all the photos I took this week and pick the ones I want to share with you.
1. 4Cats Birthday Party
A little while back Keyan and I started exploring different options for his birthday party. Even though we came across some great ideas, for Keyan, it was no question, he wanted to have his birthday at 4Cats Art Studio. Ever since he made clay penguins, he’s always asking to go back. So of course a birthday party where he gets to build a clay Yoda, eat pizza and cake is kind of a no brainer. We finally gave out the invitations and now we are looking forward to the party. I’ll make sure to share all the fun details!
2. Makes it Worthwhile
Every once in a while, I get a message or comment from a reader that makes me think, wow, I am actually making a difference in someone’s life. It makes me really happy that I can do that with my small little space on in the blogosphere. It gives me motivation to keep on going. And thank you to everyone who has kind words for me and my blog. Even the little things can make a difference.
3. Consignment
I discovered Just Between Friends Vancouver last year when we were moving and we needed to get rid of a lot of unused baby stuff. If you haven’t heard of JBF, they are a big consignment sale that happens twice a year. The next sale is coming up April 24-26 at the Croation Cultural Centre. I’ve been to the last two and have always found great stuff at really good deals. And if you happen in live in the lower mainland, JBF Vancouver is also hosting a twitter party tomorrow at 8pm with lots of awesome prizes so make sure you stop by and tweet with us for a while.

As always – love 3 Things Thursday! 4Cats Birthday Party sounds so cute. And I so agree with the reader’s comments. Your meal plans and blog are such an inspiration and so helpful for real women.
The 4Cats Birthday Party sounds like my kinda party!! I’ve actually been trying to get some girl friends together and do a paint & wine type of night. Just hasn’t worked out yet. My SIL is having a baby soon, I wonder if we have something like JBF in our area. I’ll definitely look into it!
I second your reader comment about your meal plans. Even though we don’t cook fish or beef at our house and sometimes I can’t use the exact recipes you use, your meal plan always motivates me to get on with my Sunday meal prep and cook up some meals for the week. Happy Thursday!
#2 is the best! Thanks for sharing that because it’s just such a ‘feel-good’ thing! I enjoy your meal plans too. They remind me I should give mine a little shake-up sometimes! 🙂 Hope you’re having a beautiful day!
