Blue Roses & Daydreams

Gorgeous view of the city as it wakes up for the morning. Goooood moorning London! (at Victoria Hospital (London, Ontario))

First a plumber...now I'm an electrician too! Lol - and this time I didn't even have to use YouTube for anything! I guess I did learn a few things holding a flashlight all those years from John De Ruiter! #whoneedsaman #igotthis #singlemom #singlemomlife #myhouse #renovation (at Sarnia, Ontario)

This is the guard dog I have at the side of my bed every moment I'm awake watching TV. .. (at Sarnia, Ontario)

When you're done work and it's so nice you can wear a sweater so you and the dog go for a walk. #pomerian #winter2017 #night #nightwalks (at Sarnia, Ontario)

When your daughter thinks your dog is a baby...and gets him a stuffed animal to sleep with. #pomerian #daughters #gottoloveher #family @amberderuiter (at Sarnia, Ontario)

Another great lunch date this week! I have great friends! And another great place to visit...maybe not quite the views here but the company was excellent for the third day in a row! I'm a lucky girl! 😆 (at Best Western Plus Guildwood Inn)

This is how to get your pop cold in Canada! When you have a deck outside your bedroom and it's winter and you don't want to go back downstairs to the fridge later. ..and your minions have gone to bed for the night.....use the snow outside as a fridge! Works like a charm! #canadawinter #winter2017 #pepsi #pepsiwins #momwin #outsidefridge (at City of Sarnia)

Buddy in his Christmas jacket....@amberderuiter thinks it's adorable but Buddy isn't so sure.... #pomeranian #christmas

It may snowing and cold outside..but this is how I'm going to work today....lol. scentsy going and my pj's on....nice and warm in my house. Love my new job!

Hanging with the fish and the frog... (at Sarnia Lambton Rebound)

When you're feeling down and don't know what to do to....head towards the lights! Camera in hand, so pictures are coming on my page later. Beautiful display again this year thanks to hard work and generous donations. Love the music while I walked too! #sarnia #christmas #getridoftheblues #nighttimewalk #christmaslightdisplay @day_dream_outpost (at Sarnia Lambton Celebration of Lights)

One face begging for dessert and the other is begging and also growling at the same time.....mmmmm. what is a mother to do??? Keep the desserts to myself!! I'm such a good problem solver! #singlemomlife #daughters #pomeranian #family #lovethem (at Sarnia, Ontario)

When you are avoiding people on your breaks....so you don't WANT TO talk - because you don't have a voice! So you hide out with music and your cell phone!

When you freak your almost of driving age daughter out by making the car swerve and weave and spin on the fresh winter roads!!! #fun #nervousteen #winterroads #parentsrevenge @amberderuiter @amber_5312 (at London, Ontario)

Smuggled dessert when the rest of the party ran out! Thanks to the wonderful Zach at @holiday_innsarnia during the @marriotthotels Christmas party tonight! Thanks to Jerry at the table for making the right statement to just enough people!!! # right people #righttable

The company I get over my shoulder when I have food in my hand..... (at Sarnia, Ontario)

When you're at your job. ..with a spill proof container....and the ice capp from 1pm is still frozen (and no undrinkable) at 8pm - it's time for a new drink! (at Sarnia, Ontario)
