life is short. break the rules.

I love this time of year. Everyone is excited, enjoying the sunshine and ready to have fun. And I am totally ready for it! The winter was really harsh where I live. It didn't even feel like we got a Spring season. It just went from ice storm to freezing cold and then: bam! Summer. Now that it's here, I am trying to make the most of every single moment.

That is why I have been so busy lately. I've gone rollerblading, biking, to concerts, out to dinner with friends, to karaoke, bowling....and everything in between. Yes, my hectic social life has been a lot of fun. It has made it a little difficult to balance everything but it has definitely been worth it. I can only hope that the rest of my summer is just as fun and exciting!

I've managed to snap a few pictures here and there during my travels. So, I thought that I would share a few of my favourites.....

The first two are from an afternoon at the park. My boyfriend and I went on a bike ride around the neighbourhood and ended up stopping off at a park. We went on the slide and the swings. It was fun just being silly and acting like kids! 



Next up? I went to the Jamie Cullum concert in Toronto and it was absolutely amazing. I am such a huge fan of his. Over the past several years, I've seen him in concert plenty of times....and every time it's phenomenal. He is such a fantastic performer. Even though I went to the concert by myself, I had an incredible time. It was so much fun! Definitely a memorable evening.




And last up in this post? My friend and I went to dinner at a diner. We ate some great food, grabbed a few drinks, and caught up. It was really awesome. In fact, I spent most of the week looking forward to it! We failed to take any pictures but here is one of me pre-dinner. I loved the way my hair turned out for a change. Easy but cute. Score!


Well, there you have it! These pictures are a little sneak peek into my life lately. I need to get better at taking pictures of the little moments, I think. I'll work on that in the coming months.

What has been keeping you busy this summer?
