for mamas and may days

Whether you present her with a massage, a gift, a homemade meal, or just sending love to her in your heart and mind, I hope you all enjoy today on this mother's day, and I'm sending a bucket of love to those bloggers who are mamas, whether to amazing children or adorable critters :) Last year I had a bit of an homage to my mama, but this year I'll just share one of my favourite pictures of us. It's a shame, really, that we take the most pictures together when we're on vacation and holidays rather than random moments, but that means I definitely can't wait until our trip to Vancouver this Saturday!!

My love for my mom is like a scarf ... it wraps her up haha.
Here's us in Gdansk, Poland in 2008!

These May days have been pretty kind to me thus far (and to knock on wood, hopefully they'll continue)! It's finally beginning to feel like spring, which is a relief. Lately I've been busting a move to Wii's Just Dance with my closest friends that I haven't seen in forever, and indulging in way too much green tea ice cream and drumsticks. Here's what's been filling up my May so far; I hope you've had good days for this first week and that the rest of May brightens up even more for you!

Mmm, green tea makes my day; especially while having a Boys Over Flowers marathon with my friend (only three episodes left for us, and we don't want it to end)! Next up: Coffee Prince.

Being able to spend time with The Boy without him having to read 500-page books each week is so amazing :) We've been filling it up with hikes, watching movies, and cuddling. And oh yeah - do you like my makeover? Hahahaa ... I've been trying to figure out how I should have my hair for my sister's wedding and found a website where you can 'try on' celebrity hairstyles and decided to see what I'd look like blonde. I'll probably go for one of Zooey Deschanel's half updos instead, though.

Pizzas (especially homemade) are the best(est). Definitely #4 on the list of what's better than coffee!

The other day The Boy noticed a fair had rolled into town, and we decided to try a ride out (and a gourmet hot dog that was teeny-tiny). He chose - the ferris wheel, something neither of us have really been on before because we're both wusses when it comes to heights. As soon as we lifted off he went, "Ohh, this was a bad idea! Why'd you come up with this?!" Although the rocking made us feel a bit uneasy (and totally reminded me of the scene from Never Been Kissed at 1:30 right here) I can now successfully cross off 'kissing at the top of a ferris wheel' on my bucket list.

Now I have to ask:

What's been filling up your days lately?

And what 'mellow' songs do you love to listen to?

P.S. Since some of you aren't big cupcake/dessert fans, I send you an abundance of bearhugs and (insert favourite dessert-type meal here)! :)
