Halloween is our absolute favourite holiday of the year. There is nothing like it. Personally, I think it should be a day off. Because how the heck are you to get into full costume, get all the rigs and automations just right, be ready to hand out candy and scare kids when you’re stuck in traffic on the way home […]
Ahhh, fall is in full swing and winter is nipping at us from right around the corner. It’s the season of annual family traditions and cozy memory making! After four long years of planning for a family, you collect lots of ideas and come up with even more ideals. I’m in love with the idea of annual family traditions. I’ll […]
I want to kick off this post by saying – I am not a fan of gingerbread. I never have been. When I think of gingerbread, I think of those rock hard spicy cookies you use to build gingerbread houses. I really don’t think that gingerbread houses are meant to be eaten…someone tell me I’m wrong! I suppose I just […]
My Lincoln turned 3 earlier this month. He’s been obsessed with Spider-Man lately, and who can blame him. Spider-Man is pretty amazing. Naturally, this meant that his birthday theme could be nothing else but Spider-Man! As always, I try to keep things muted and simple with children’s parties. I really wanted each child to have a mask to wear so […]
Summer is coming to an end here, and I’m not ready! As I try to steel myself for a busy fall and winter season, I’ve been trying to get better organized. One of the tasks I am tackling is organizing all my photos from various shoots and events. I came across the folder of photos from the simple black and […]
Did you know that you can cut your own picture mats!? It’s easy, I promise! The husband would accuse me of (incorrectly) saying this about a lot of things…and honestly, there were moments in doing this DIY that I thought it would be more worth it to buy. But, I went through the learning process and the mistakes so you […]
I love the idea of a photo gallery wall. They display life’s most treasured moments in a personal and creative way. And can be changed up as many times as you like as you hit different life milestones. But photo gallery walls can look messy, complicated and can be a bit intimidating to put together. Believe me, I know. We’ve […]
I’m a wannabe minimalist as I have mentioned before. Full disclosure. I don’t actually own a diaper bag. Even after two babies, I still don’t see the need for one. I use one of my designer purses and all my everyday diaper bag essentials fit perfectly into it. Is it absolutely crazy that I use my Louis Vuitton Evora purse […]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Ok, this is the last Husband Hack for the month of June. I wanted to be sure that it was published prior to the Canada Day and July 4th long weekend. After this, we are headed out yet again on a camping trip! This will be the third trip in four weekends. June has been […]
The husband has come through with another great Husband Hack for me to post! Life has been really busy here, especially as soon as that hot weather hit us. We are currently in the middle of a heat wave warning for Western Canada, so have been trying to soak up as much hot summer goodness as possible! Summers in Canada […]
Life is picking up here in our household! We just got back from our first camping trip of the year, and are already prepping to head out on another trip this coming weekend. Summer is officially on. And with the onset of summer, comes a parade of watermelons in this house! Cue the next Husband Hack. If you missed last […]
As mentioned in my IG Stories recently, I’m kicking off a mini series of posts I’m dubbing “Husband Hacks” in honour of Father’s Day. Since we’re not a big gifting family, perhaps this is my way of acknowledging what a great father he is! My husband is an amazing caretaker to myself and the kids. Part of great caretaking requires […]
