I love this beautiful old church in our hometown. It has been designated as a heritage site. The sunrise reflecting off the building this morning looked amazing – I just had to get another photo!

This building in Steinbach, Manitoba always catches my eye when I drive by it, and a few nights ago, I finally stopped to get a shot of it. I don’t know much about this business, other than what the sign tells me….the business was established in 1892….I wonder if the building was built that year too?
I pass this sign almost every day, and for some reason, really like the retro look to it. Today, I finally stopped to get a shot of it!

A couple more shots from today, and a few from our random drive last week. We’ve been stumbling across some great photo ops! I love that my hubby indulges me with these drives.
My hubby took me on a drive today to show me an old rural church. Turns out the church had already been torn down, years ago. The cross remained, placed in a field beside the old cemetery.
Love these Gerbera daisies I’ve been growing….so vibrantly beautiful! I’m hoping to use them in the centerpieces on our wedding day.
A lot of our wedding decorations are going to be DIY, and in large part that includes the flowers. My aunt is an amazing florist, and as a wedding gift, is going to do the bouquets for the wedding. However, I will be doing the centerpieces myself and I have been growing these Gerbera daisies to use. I hope that I can keep them blooming nicely until the wedding day!

With summer quickly approaching, it’s time to do something about my sadly neglected feet! I would love to go get a professional pedicure, but time and budget just hasn’t allowed for it this year.
Of course I do my own pedicures at home as well, although I never seem to get the same kind of results I get in a professional salon. Great reason to do a search on Pinterest!
I came across a lot of pins about the “Listerine Pedicure” – here’s what it involves:
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup Listerine
1 cup hot water
Pour into shallow footbath and soak feet for 15 minutes. Scrub off dead skin with washcloth or foot brush.
Apparently it works great and the skin just comes right off! Why not try it?
I had all the supplies handy – I used the purple Listerine.
(my daughter has been making fun of me because I still have the remnants of my last pedicure left on just my big toes! This was definitely far overdue.)
I thought the smell of the mouthwash might throw me off but really it just smelt……fresh. As directed, I soaked my feet for 15 minutes and hoped for a miracle!
The final result? Well, my feet smell minty fresh and my toenails look nice and white. As for the callouses, they didn’t literally fall off as promised. After scrubbing and then drying off my feet, I used a foot emery file, the same as I would usually do.
I did enjoy the tingle the Listerine created and this is probably more effective than just the normal soak I use with warm water and foot salts. Although not the magic fix promised, I would use this method again.
Much better!
