Friday

What a relaxing & amazing day today was. We got to the Sea Side Marina Resort & unpacked knowing that we were going to be here until we found a real true rental. It felt so good to be 'home' for a while. I think Twinkle knew it too, she made herself super comfortable.



It's just a tiny little cabin, but it's perfect for us right now. And on the bright side it will make our apartment look HUGE when we finally find one!
(this is the living room/kitchen, you can see the 2 small bedrooms, the washroom off to the left side)
After unpacking we took a trip to the grocery store. It was time for me to cook again! WHOOHOO!
The first thing I made was Alicia Silverstone's Lentil Stew (you can find a version of the recipe here). Turned out to be a great decision because while in the store we heard that a severe storm was coming in from the north knocking out power & tearing down trees......
Did you know that we have great luck? Well, as it turns out the minute we walked back into our 'new house' the wind came outta no~where & we could see the Ocean turning up things from the deep. It was incredible! Our first storm ~ but lucky for us, it really didn't hit us hard, some wind & rain & it was all over! Oh well, the stew was wonderful anyways. Callym & Chris braved the wind to take a few photos...


The rest of the day was so nice. We relaxed, ate, did some blogging, played lambsy, ate some more, watched a movie & just had a great day together. It was especially nice knowing that we are able to stay here for at least a month, so there is no worries or stress as to where & when we need to pack up.
The boys headed off to bed & Chris & I watched the movie "Food Inc". It was horrible! I recommend everyone to watch it because it really does open your eyes to where most food comes from, how the animals are treated, how the workers are treated, & especially the quality of food (or lack there of) that we are feeding to our selves & our kids! I think it's on shaw on demand under the documentary section. Worth it for sure ~ tomorrow we plan on watching "Forks over Knives" again which is a great movie about eating for optimal health & how to eat to prevent & reverse dis~ease!
