W “Happy Holidays!” Marc + Mandy xox W Where does the time go? It feels like I was sitting at my desk just a few weeks ago writing about our beautiful baby girl, Ella, who is now over a year old. Time flies by when you have a child! As a parent, you are so busy keeping them fed, clothed, changed, and everything in between that you sometimes forget to stop and take a breath! Life just seems to get busier and I'm going to take a moment right here, right now, to simply breathe. Upon exhale, I realize that this year has been filled with so many blessings. The love of my life has blossomed into a beautiful mother and a great co-host of our newest adventure, the Marc and Mandy Show (Check out www. MarcAndMandy.com for channel listings)!

The Marc and Mandy Show has launched in the U.S.A as a daily talk show! some attention. I can honestly say that as any busy parent, it's a work in progress. I find myself staring at a few loose baseboards that need nailing and a guest bedroom that needs a redesign. Although, I may have an ulterior motive behind the delay of the guest suite redesign. That's where my in-laws stay when they are in town. The way I see it, if I transform it into a beautiful oasis away from the outside world, it's like giving them an invitation to come over and stay longer! Such a dilemma - my obsession with having everything pretty is suppressed by my dislike of having my in-laws over. I'll probably end up giving it a makeover before Christmas. It's too ugly to be in my house! The bedroom, not the motherin-law! (Just joking, they know they’re always welcome!) From all of us here at Canadian Home Trends Magazine and the Marc and Mandy Show, have a wonderful Holiday season! Last we spoke, our renovations were coming along with just a few final touches still missing [email protected] instagram.com/HomeTrendsMag twitter.com/HomeTrendsMag pinterest.com/HomeTrendsMag facebook.com/HomeTrendsMag
