Michelle over at Flying Giggles and Lollipops caught me in a game of tag!
I am to answer the five questions with five answers and tag 5 more bloggers. Be sure to pay a visit to Michelle and check out all her great posts, she is a sweetie!
Question 1: Where were you five years ago?
1.) Running around with a 6 and a 3 year old. Embracing the crazy.
2.) You could often find me with a hard hat on, a matching wee hard hat for the three year old. We were in the throws of our very own Restaurant Makeover.
We flipped a Burger King into a upscale dining restaurant. So much fun, so much work.
3.) Since it’s February I was also probably preparing for our annual trip to Florida. Oh how I love me some sun!
4.) Trying to decide if I could truly handle this stay at home mom gig.
5.) Making a decision. Are two children enough for me? Still deciding!
Question 2: What is (was) on your to-do list today?
1.) Ummm, laundry. Sexy eh?
2.) Figure out what on earth I’m going to wear to that 40th Birthday party tomorrow night.
3.) Who’s kidding who, buy something new for that party tomorrow night.
4.) Carpool home from Cheerleading. Second carpool to Gymnastics. I’m a glorified chauffeur.
5.) Try not to eat all those crumbly oatmeal cookies in the kitchen. Remember? The party tomorrow night?
Question 3: What five snacks do you enjoy?
1.) Dur. Cookies..oh especially hot out of the oven. Yum.
2.) Popcorn. I have a problem.
3.) Warm toasty bread and tapenade shared with my hubby.
4.) Raw Almonds (I know, boring)
5.) Any kind of muffin. That is what goes best with the oh so addictive Chi Tea Lates from Starbucks.
Question 4: What five places have you lived?
1.) On a beautiful lake in the Muskoka’s. The colors, the rocks. Sigh. This is where I spent weekends and summers when I was growing up.
2.) In a house with shag carpets and olive green appliances. I am a child of the seventies and eighties.
3.) A University dorm room. Too small and not enough bathrooms. All kinds of fun.
4.) My first Apartment. A tri-plex where we rarely locked the doors and went back and forth between the neighbours like some kind of bad sitcom.
5.) My current home. Full of myself, my hubby, 2 girls a dog and cat. A house full of much laughter love.
Question 5: What five things would you do if you were a billionaire?
1.) Travel! There is so much of the world to see. Apparently my 8 year old wants too see “A Mime in A Box in Paris” Huh? Funny kid.
2.) Build our dream home and pay off mortgages of those near and dear.
3.) Create Summer Camps for children and teens with special needs. There are just not enough quality services for these incredible people.
4.) Buy that vacation home somewhere warm and sunny! Have you heard, I hate the snow.
5.) Did I mention travel? I see a year of homeschooling and traveling. Five star all the way baby.
And now 5 more bloggers…
You know I always feel such guilt trying to pick just 5 people to pass these things along to! If you want to play, please do, in the meantime I will ask these new reads if they want to play!
Whew! Have a great weekend!
P.S. I think Sunday is also a perfect day to enter my Charitable Creations GiveAway! Hope to see you there!

Too Many Hats says
Wow, from Burger King to fancy restaurant – very impressed.
Tinika says
I enjoyed reading yours so much I am going to do it too, lol!
Alyssa says
We called olive green “avacado green”…and it was putrid. Your restaurant is beautiful; I want to visit it. Florida in the winter? You’re my kind of girl. And wherever you spent weekends and summers makes me drool. Wow!
Now I’m wondering if marketing of Zhu Zhu pets was aimed at Americans…makes me like Canada more and more!
Danica says
Love it!
Cookies, muffins and pound cake are my weakness!!!!
Ode to Motherhood says
What a fun post! I have a problem with popcorn too.
Muskoka is beautiful. Can’t wait for summer!

Crazy Shenanigans says
I’m right there with you on the traveling. I want to hear more about this restaurant flip!
Just Me says
I love raw almonds, so does my *almost* 4 year old daughter.
And 5 years ago, I was trying to decide what to do with my life (little did I know that in 4 months I would be preggo for the first time and get a huge promotion at work…funny how life does that…and funny that 5 years later I’m a SAHM with TWO kids, and debating on having more…)
Green-Eyed Momster says
5 years ago my son was 13, oldest daughter was 10, middle daughter was 8 and youngest was almost 3!
Hugs!!
Busy Bee Suz says
What a great Meme!!!
You guys flipped a restaraunt??? COOL..do you still have it?
I did not even know they had burger kings in Canada.
Your 8 year old IS funny…but so is her Mom.
Great list, and when you get that house in Florida, call me!!!
