HE HAS RISEN Happy Easter!

Random Friday Highlights

On March 26, 2010, in Deals, Good Stuff, Life, Products, by Kerrisdale Design

A Good Day – Random Highlights 1. Waking up to sunshine and Ben crawling into our bed for a “tuddle” (cuddle). Love that boy. 2. Freshly ground Starbucks Breakfast blend in a soup bowl sized cup, with just the right amount of light cream and Splenda. Mmmm 3. Hitting Main street in Vancouver (great for [...]

Quick and Easy Pasta with Pesto and Shrimp

Happy Monday & Some Dinner Inspiration

On March 22, 2010, in Life, Recipes, by Kerrisdale Design

Hi everyone, how was your weekend? We had a great weekend, kicking things off Friday night with a date night! Anyone with little kids knows that these are a rarity to be enjoyed! Grandma Jess came over and hung out with Ben and Carys while Mommy and Daddy headed downtown for dinner with friends/cousins (hi [...]

Mama's in Trouble

On February 26, 2010, in Decorating, Life, My Home, Projects, by Kerrisdale Design

Bad news in the Amadatsu household: Mommy (moi) has misplaced the Nikon battery charger. ARGH. I’ve look everywhere – high, low, and in between, and I simply cannot find it. I have even checked our vents (crazy sounding I know, but Carys has discovered how to take the covers off and thinks its fun to [...]

Rant

On February 25, 2010, in Life, by Kerrisdale Design

Have you ever felt unwelcome in a store? Like you are inconveniencing the sales staff by just being there, or {heaven forbid} asking a question? I had that experience yesterday at a certain high-end home decor store in Vancouver {which shall remain nameless }. I popped in with Carys to order something and seriously felt like [...]

Go Canada!

On February 12, 2010, in Events, Life, by Kerrisdale Design

With today being the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in VANCOUVER (yay Vancouver!) how could I not write an Olympic-related post on such an exciting day??? Though the city has been preparing for YEARS, the last little while has been a frenzy, and (according to Jeff who is in the city daily) Vancouver has transformed. [...]

We're Off!

On January 29, 2010, in Life, by Kerrisdale Design

I’ve been a bad blogger this week, not very attentive or posting nearly as much as I should, but that’s life sometimes! Anyhow, just a quick note to say we’re heading off to Victoria (on Vancouver Island for those who aren’t local) for a couple nights with friends. We are very excited for a mini [...]

Just Dance

On January 29, 2010, in Good Stuff, Life, by Kerrisdale Design

Although it’s fun to write about decorating and design, food recipes bla bla bla, when it comes down to it these things are of no importance. When we hear about disasters like the one that the people of Haiti have experienced, it is quite simply heartbreaking, and I know that everyone feels a strong desire [...]

One Year Already?

On January 24, 2010, in Life, by Kerrisdale Design

Happy Birthday to my very special girl Carys Sophie! I know all mama’s say this, but I can’t believe how quickly this first year has flown by, and that today you are a whole One Year Old! Wow. You arrived last year on a Saturday, and the first clue of your impending arrival we had [...]

Hello, Sunshine!

On January 22, 2010, in Life, by Kerrisdale Design

Well, we are scurrying around today to get a few last things done before the BIG DAY tomorrow. What big day is that, you ask? Well, after what has felt like an extra looooong two weeks Jeff will be back from his trip and we are very excited to have him home! It’s a GORGEOUS [...]

Just a quick note to say…

On January 12, 2010, in Life, by Kerrisdale Design

I don’t have much to say! To be completely honest, the last couple days have been exhausting. In the wee hours of the morning on Monday (4:30ish) Jeff headed to the airport to make his long trek to Sierra Leone, where he will be spending the next couple weeks doing some of the preliminary work [...]

Resolutions, Goals, Aspirations

On January 8, 2010, in Life, by Kerrisdale Design

I read some years ago that writing down your goals means that you are more likely (80% to be precise) to achieve them. Pretty staggering, now I wonder if the stats increase further when we post our goals and resolutions on the internet for all the world (or the small handful of people reading this) [...]
