Family Day

Yesterday was Family Day in Canada and hence a long weekend. We took advantage of it and went to visit my daughter (handmade beginnings) and son-in-law and my granddaughter. The kids had a blast playing with their niece and my son decided to do some embroidery with the help of his sister; you can see it here. My kids kept busy during the long trip with these crayons wallets from my daughter's shop. While my dh and s-i-l caught up my daughter and I slipped out for some ice cream and shopping. We rarely get to be alone just the two of us so it was nice. I also saw that my daughter was selling some cookbooks for charity so I picked up some of those too. Stay posted as I will be offering one as a giveaway. Curriculum binders for grade 5 were also something that my daughter had picked up for me and they were very appreciated. Alhumdulillah it was a wonderful, productive visit. Hope all you Canadians had a great Family Day.

    Assalamualaikum C.

    It's nice to have one special day for the family. Family day must be an official holiday over there, I like that. Even though there's no such holiday here, we usually have Friday as our family day where everyone come to my mom's house for a visit. Really wonderful!
    Thanks for the link to handmade beginnings, I really like the blog and already followed it. Is it you daughter's?
