World Elephant Day – Throwback to Visiting Maesa Elephant Camp
In honour of World Elephant Day, here’s a throwback visiting an elephant sanctuary in Chaing Mai, Thailand. ปางช้างแม่สา aka Maesa Elephant Camp is like a retirement camp for elephants that aren’t able to go back into the wild after they’ve worked. There are over 75 elephants and they do activities like soccer, basketball, and painting. I was so impressed with their painting skills!

Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood! ☀️
Last couple days have been really relaxing. I have to remind myself what day it is. Yesterday I slept heaps. Feeling fresh today! Didn’t get anywhere on my glamping goals (it rained) but maybe today. On our way to rent a jet ski rn. Woot! Don’t worry mum, will be careful!
With love from the cottage.

Lakeside Adventures | Boats, Babes, & Brunch
Started the day w/ a cruise in the boat then came home and make some brekky. Whipped up a little fruit salad to keep in the fridge for healthy snacking.
Went to a HUGE cottage party in Port Carling last night. The property was massive, big cottage, boathouse, beach volleyball, BBQ, fire pit, and a funhouse to play in.

Cottage Casie in Full Effect!
Came in from a nice float out in the water just now. It’s so warm, the lake feels like a pool.
This is my first blog post on the new computer. I’m so stoked to be up here and have 10 days to work on creative things. My new blog is on the works, I love the design and I hope you will too. It’s been years since I gave it an update. The current look and feel is very similar to when I first started casiestewart.com in 2005. The first site is still alive at casiestewart.blogspot.com. Working on this new machine feel like a Porsche or Ferrari compared to my little MacBook Air. Today Sean picked up a huge new monitor and comfy desk chair for the cottage, I’m ready to ROLL. I saw some amazing desk chairs on www.bestgamingchair.com/herman-miller-mirra-2-chair-review and I decided it was time for a new COMFY desk chair!
The view from where I’m sitting is the photo above.
I’m planning to put big 10 person tent on lawn and make a nice glamping hideaway. I attempted to do it on my own today (never having set up a tent) and gave up after a few minutes. I need help, I don’t know where everything is. This is me after a I made a Pina Colada and decided to go floating in the sun instead.

New Things I Love! Short Hair, Tesla Cruisin’, MacBook Pro, Meat Pies ✌?️
It’s almost the weekend. I’ve worked hard. I’m ready to reeeeeeeeelaxxxx! 
Looks like we’re gonna get some rain, I’m working on a blog makeover so I’m ok with that. Won’t feel bad missing sunshine to nerd out ON MY NEW COMPUTER! Sean picked it up for me yesterday and I can’t WAIT to tour around this amazingly fast little machine.
He also came home with meat pies from The Pie Comission. Seriously, what a dreamboat!
I’m so stoked. It’s been a few years since I upgraded my Mac Game and I’m proudly replacing my 11″ MacBook Air with a 13″ MacBook Pro. Welcome to the family! Sean recommended that I got an external monitor for my MacBook to make my life a bit easier so I’m looking at reviews on bestbezellessmonitor and will keep you updated on whether I get one or not! I’m also going to be a lot more careful with this one, as I know that they’re susceptible to cracked screens if not looked after properly – I don’t want to have to fork out to repair it any time soon.
All my Apple gadgets over the years have been named after famous men in history. This guy is yet to be named…
Went to the Indie Ale House last night. Food was really good! She moved to the junction recently so I have another friend in the hood. Woot! 
The desserts, so good. 
Loving my hair short. Getting it trimmed a BIT shorter today too.
Rode in my first TESLA yesterday. What a car! 
It’s so fast, smart, good looking, efficient, I can’t get enough.
Snapped this out the sunroof. Beautiful day! 
Back seat is quite roomy and with TWO trunks you can fit heaps of clothes and food for a weekend getaway.
Three cheers for LOOOOONG weekend. Hope you’ve got some plans to make the most of it. Sending sunshine to you across the Internet. ??????

Snipity, Snip, Snip!
Cut my hair off today!? It feels so good! I think I might even go shorter. Woke up, styled my mop, it just was NOT working for me. Thought I wanted long hair but I really don’t like it. I’m over it! It’s hot and short hair is so much fun + stylish. Sean LOVES my hair super short. (My head was partly shaved when we met five years ago.) So, I gave The Loft Toronto a ring today and booked an appt for a snip and him to have his beard trimmed.
Got a few compliments on this dress today. It’s from Forever 21!

Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job.
I’ve been growing my hair long(er) for the last couple months and I’m ready to cut it. I’ve had it! Was looking through old photos from a Google Search and came across this one from LA.
We went to Disneyland and spent some time in California a couple summers ago, it was the best. Love this American Apparel Dress, miss those yellow glasses.
Spent the morning analyzing Facebook analytics for a client campaign then helping another client set up her first WordPress. I love doing both! It’s not a ‘real job’ like the olden days but I’m pretty happy that it IS A REAL JOB in 2015. I love THE INTERNET so much.
Can’t believe 10 years after starting this blog, I’m here and made a career of it. Who KNOWS what kind of jobs there will be 10 years from now. If you are reading this and in school, GET ALL THE SCHOOL YOU CAN so you’re ready to take on the world with great skills.
I know I said this already but I’m SO stoked for the weekend and getting back up to the cottage. We’re gonna stay for A WHILE. I’m doing a makeover to my blog AND getting a new computer. I can barely contain my excitement.
HUZZAHHHHHH!

Muskoka Living: Lake, Boat, Babes, Dock, Drinks #cottagelife
Spent the weekend at the cottage and went to WayHome Music Festival. There was NO WAY I was camping the festival grounds. We had absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather. I know it’s only Monday but I really can’t wait to get back up there.
We had a nice brunch on Saturday at the Muskoka Inn. Sean in my glasses 🙂 Totally my MCM!
Next weekend we’re seeing The Trews at The Kee to Bala.
Stopped by the Balacade to play some games.
“If you think romance is dead and gone
Find an old jukebox full of 45’s
Pop a nickel in it and it all comes back to me”
This grandma totally creeps me out.
We went to get groceries and saw a cowboy who decided to ride his HORSE to the store. I love the country! 
We had a girls party at the lake in the afternoon.
On Sunday we went to WayHome but it was SO HOT OUT. After walking around for a bit and seeing Weaves, The Sheepdogs, and checking out the Etsy shop, we went back to the cottage and jumped in the lake. Feeling today like I might have a bit of heat stroke.
Next week we’re up at the cottage for a while. I can’t wait! Counting down the days. This week will be a good one, it’s going to be hot and SUNNY till Sunday.
Tomorrow night I’m heading to the Island Yacht Club for a little party. Who knows what else the week will bring!
