Woo! What a scorcher in Montreal today. This hot weather puts me in a summer mood, and summer to me means barbecue! Unfortunately, we don’t have a backyard or large deck, but we do have a couple of balconies that could handle a small charcoal grill like these colourful ones made by Bodum.  (I mean, these are so cute I would use them to just decorate my house, never mind barbecuing!)  Has anyone ever used a tiny grill like this? Do they work well?

When I was a kid, my favourite thing in the world was to build forts out of couch cushions, blankets and brooms. Naturally, these photos made me smile.

How have your weeks been? In a word, mine was busy. I had little to no time for blogging between work, seeing friends and family, and after the robbery last week, having to deal with insurance companies and repairs. But at least this weekend I’ll be able to relax a bit. We’re going to a nice restaurant for my father’s birthday.  I’m also planning on attending a bit of Blue Met. Hope the weather is nice so we can spend some time outdoors, too! Have a great weekend everyone and hope to get back into the blogging swing of things next week!

These accordion-style “I Heart Lists” notepads were created for creative list-making. The pads can be used in different ways according to the themes:  in lieu of thank you cards, as a collaborative work tool or as an insomniac’s nightstand diary. They come as a pack of nine in a pretty little pouch. Fun!
