You whisper 'Ain't life Sweet' I whisper 'Just like Sugar'

So - it only comes natural that I should tweet about Meet The Wilsons. For those of you who haven't heard of them, they're Kortney and Dave Wilson. They're chasing a record deal while raise three children Jett, Sully and Lennox (who are adorable!). Dave is a Realtor and they flip houses.

I have watched EVERY single episode of this show, and I love, love, love it. They are two of the most down to Earth people I know.

The last two episode's have been hilarious beyond hilarious (don't get me wrong, because they ALL are. But still these two are my favourites!). Last week they decided to go camping! Yes, camping. It was funny because Dave tried very hard to set up the tent and I think they said it took him a good few hours to get no where. So what happened?  Kortney, set it up in about an 8th of the time. I have to give Dave credit though - he took on the responsibility of packing everything.

Tonight's episode though.. I have never seen someone so afraid of their child chasing them...with muddy hands. It was hilarious though! They had came up to Canada to promote their first single "Stick Together" (title from their song.. and Kort's voice: amazing!), and decided to visit Dave's family... which involved a farm, which includes cows and unfortunately for Kortney, mud. Kortney, Dave, Jett, and Sully decided that they were going to have a race in the mud... yes, a mud race. Nobody fell, and honestly, I was waiting for Kortney to do a face place.  But she didn't. But Dave got her with mud. Which was just a funny.

Why do I love this show? Because they don't hide anything. They let their kids be kids (even if it involves mud!), and they are just great people. I've had the honor to talk to Kortney via twitter and facebook, she's soo down to Earth and is a very, very nice person! I haven't had the same experience with Dave, because, well, I'm slightly ascared to email him, why? I have NO clue. I just am.

If you're in Canada, make sure you watch Meet The Wilsons Sunday night's at 10PM/EST . I promise you, you will not be sorry (just make sure you use the washroom before watching the show!).

Congratulations Canada & Alexandre Bilodeau !

For some reason, this year I've really gotten into the Olympics. Maybe it's because I'm older, I respect it more. Maybe it's because it's being hosted in my country (Yes, I am Canadian. And right now, Proud of if). Maybe it's because I know someone who is competing, someone who carried Germany's sign in the opening ceremonies, someone who is working on Security, and last but not least, someone who is cleaning the porta poopers. Or maybe it's all these things...

Tonight, four Canadian's competed in the Men's Moguls three of our four competitors were sitting at the podium at one point tonight. The Australian who was attempting to defend his gold title, took the podium with only a few competitors left. Leaving an American in second and a Canadian in third. Personally, I didn't like the Australian because of what was shown before the Moguls. But then Canadian, Alexandre Bilodeau took gold from the Australian. We have won our first Gold on Canadian soil, and our first Gold of the Olympics.

For me, it's not even completely about us winning our first Gold on Canadian soil. It's about the story behind it. Alexandre Bilodeau has an older brother, Fredrick. But his older brother has Cerebral Palsy. The look on Fredrick's face when Alexandre won gold was priceless. Alexandre even said, he was doing that competition for his brother, and when the medal ceremony happens, he's going to do whatever he can to get his brother up on that podium with him to receive the Gold. If this isn't a great way for Canada to win their first gold medal on Canadian soil, I don't know what is. The story behind it is beyond amazing. I think it was a GREAT way for Canada to get their first Gold... What do you think?

XOXO
