007 - James Bond

For Christmas, I bought the James Bond movie collection as a gift to my husband. It's a collection of all the James Bond movies. (except Quantum of Solace but I bought it in March so the collection is now completed)

My husband is a James Bond fan. I think I know why. James Bond is a secret agent. He's good looking, charming, funny and very talented. In fact, he's the kind of man that every little boy dreams to become.

When I gave Syl this gift, I wasn't a fan. I watch "Die another day" a few years ago and that was the only movie I ever watched.

But my husband wanted to see them all. Beginning with the first one "Dr. No".

So every week we watched at least one James Bond movie and last night we watched "Quantum".

After all these movies, I have to say that i'm quite impress. James Bond is so much more than a movie hero... This character has been there for more than 40 years, twenty-two movies and has been portrayed by 6 actors... and after all these years, he still relevant.

So now we don't have a James Bond fan in the house... we have 4... thanks for all those great movie night James !

Smile

There's not a day that I don't receive a funny email. Each time it's like opening a box of cereals and searching the surprise inside. Always by the same circle of friends.

Good day, bad day, the email arrive. Sometimes two, three or four emails the same day. And for that I'm grateful. Just to know that someone wants to put a smile on my face means a lot to me.

So to my friends... thanks guys !

And like I'm a great friend I send some to my friends too ;-) So we keep each other smiling...

Virtual friendship

A few weeks ago, I met someone through my blog. This person seems like a very interesting person. She tells just enough about herself to keep me curious... We discuss through our blog and twitter. I think that we have enough in common to expect a friendship. In the worst case scenario it wouldn't work out. But I really want to try... so if you read me, let me know if you're interested ;-) Maybe our virtual friendship could become a real friendship...

My sons

As you know, I have three lovely sons, Jamie , Kevin and Joey. Those three are the light in my life. They brought me so much joy. They are three funny kids. Always laughing and smiling. They are like teddy bears... always hugging and kissing. There's no word to describe how happy I am to have them in my life.

Jamie is my oldest one. He will turn 13 next month. He's the "techno boy". Sometimes we think that he was born with a mouse or a joystick in his hands... videogames have no secret for Jamie.

Kevin is 11 years old and he's the "sporty boy". I can't find a sport that Kevin hasn't try. At the opposite of Jamie who is a loner, Kevin is really friendly. Give him two minutes in a new place and he knows everybody.

Joey is our baby. He'll turn 3 in july. Joey is much younger than his brothers cause we had him has a gift for ourselves after my husband had cancer. He's a little boy with a lot of temper. You always know how he feels... like his mother and father ;-)

I am very lucky to have them in my life...

Mother's day

Sunday it's mother's day... another one since I became a mother (12 years ago). I just love this day. I think that the person who decided that there was going to have a day to celebrate motherhood was a genius.

Be a mother is a great pleasure, a gift. But motherhood also means forgetting about yourself. Always put your kids first. And for that we deserve some gratitudes.

Between you and me, just to know that there's a day in a year that is there just for mother's happiness is great. And sunday I'm going to appreciate my day. Hope you will to.

Happy mother's day to all of you... and for the fathers who read me... you'll have your turn next month ;-)

The best gift

If you ask people what is the most important thing in a relationship they will say love. If you ask me I'm going to answer honesty.

Before we were married or even before we felt in love, me and Syl were friends. In fact, friends is an understatement. I should say soulmates. First time we met we had a kind of connection like we already knew each other. Immediate complicity.

From that time of friendship is based our relationship. We were great friends. Never judging, always honest with each other, wanting the best... you know, things that we share with friends. So when our relationship went from friends to "more than friends" those things were already there. So we made a pact to keep it that way.

Sometimes it's more difficult than other to keep that promise, but we always have in mind that it's the best gift we gave our relationship... honesty !

My husband, the hard worker

I'm very lucky... I have a really good husband. Okay, I know that everybody say that about their husband. So it's nothing new. But I really think that my husband is special. Why? Because he's really devoted to his family, he's a hard worker when it comes to his job but also when it comes to his family.

Last week, he had a really busy week at work. He even had to work saturday. But today, he spent all day long finishing the construction of the boys house in the backyard. And tonight, he's preparing the job for tomorrow...

I know that he would have prefer to spend some quiet time to relax but he knew that things needed to be done. So he did it.

But don't worry, I'm taking really good care of him... and will make sure that he takes some time for himself.. and to rest a bit ;-)

Thanks honey... I'm lucky to have you.

Lucky to be a mother

This morning I was thinking how lucky I was to have three lovely sons. There's a lot of women who won't have the chance to be a mother. Others will become mothers and won't appreciate all the treasure that come with being a mom.

Sometimes when I watch my kids, I become emotional. Why? Because it's such a gift. The best gift of all. Having the chance to love and cherish a kid. Show him life. Show him how to love. How to appreciate things. Build his fondation. Help him throught tough time and laugh with him in the good time.

For all that, I'm very grateful. Thanks guys for giving me the chance to be a special mom, your mom...
