I look forward to this day every year.
It’s the first day of summer and every year I embrace
this beautiful momentous occasion because it marks the day when myself and my fellow
Canadians feel safe enough to pack away our parkas and toques.

It is the day
when we shake out our beach blankets, pull out the umbrella straws and relax in
the sunshine with a cold drink in our grasps.

This year today was also happily anticipated around here for a different sunshiny reason!
Recently our little DIY family embraced the opportunity to work

Kassandra from Little
Dekonings is a Mama of two little, sweet, busy boys who somehow manages to
bust out a complete kitchen makeover with them running under foot. Her energy

in furniture stores when our babies are running around like maniacs chasing
after each other. You can read about her family’s and home’s adventures on her
blog HERE.
