Music Must-haves

Lately, I've really been enjoying two new (to me) albums. Nothing like a good tune to get you going! They both have similar mellow feels and are lovely background music, perfect for listening to as you relax, read or cook. I only have the music on my laptop, not in my car... I think I need to use my iPod connector to get these tunes on the road! Both albums are available from Amazon, and I've included the links below in case you feel so inclined.

1 - The Head and The Heart's self-titled album
2 - The Civil War's Barton Hollow

Hear any good tunes lately? Do share!

Happy Tuesday!

March Mix

Would you like a little March mixtape? I don't know about you, but March was a random month - full of ups and downs. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. This mix reflects that a little bit - it's a little bit of this and that. I hope that you enjoy this tiny mix as you go about your day!

Soundtrack for You

Hello, loves! I hope you had a smashing weekend. Mine had a little of this, a little of that - basically quiet. Today's certainly making up for it, though - I'll share more with you later.

I made a little mix tape for you to chill out to this afternoon. It's teensy - seven songs - but I'm sure that you are going to like my choices. I hope you turn up your volume and enjoy it!

Happy Monday!

Happy Holidays!

 

Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a lovely holiday - see you on the 27th.
Love, the MacLennans

For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:11

And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.

Matthew 1:21

Feel Good Moment.

This was the best hot chocolate that I've ever had. I went back the next day and bought a bag to make at home. So good.

I have a request. Please do this for me: make a cup of hot chocolate or herbal tea, sit down and curl up with a comfy throw, and listen to this mixtape. You'll thank me for your first fall evening. You're welcome. :)

Happy Wednesday!

Vay-Kay Oh-Four

It's another installment of my "vay-kay" posts! There's one more after this guy...

The big game. The whole reason why we went to Toronto. Daniel's two favourite teams, Manchester United and Celtic FC, came to a Canadian city. How could we resist? I'm so glad I could thrill the little boy in him :)

Daniel has a Celtic jersey, and a Manchester t-shirt. He decided on the jersey, and when we arrived at the Rogers Centre, there was someone selling Manchester caps. Guess who got to wear a cap with her pretty tank and capris? I haven't worn a baseball cap since junior high. It's been a while... and it's not pretty :) Oh, well... the things you do for those you love!

Here's a peek at the ginormous scoreboard:


The game in motion:


The two of us, and the infamous cap:


Post-game shot of ManU's coach, Sir Alex Ferguson:


The loudest Scot that I've ever encountered... follow the giant red arrow:


The beautifully lit-up CN Tower:


After the game, on our way back to our hotel, there was the biggest group of people ever chanting "United". We had to make our way through the throng to get to the street. It was a bit intense. Good thing they were all in good cheer... I was glad that they weren't the losing team :)
We took a couple of videos as we made our way through, but I'm not sure what the language is like in them, so I'd really rather not share. Here's a pic of the crowd, though:


I hope you enjoyed a peek at our game. Have a peachy Thursday!

Here's a lovely song for you to chill out to:
