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 […]
We’re in the weeks leading up to Father’s Day! Woot Woot! Queue the dance music. It’s time to think about Father’s Day gift ideas! Actually, we don’t really celebrate Father’s Day (or Mother’s Day) in this household. It’s one of those Hallmark holidays that we don’t put much effort into acknowledging. Having said that, I WILL admit that for my […]
Last month, Henri turned 100 days old! We celebrate this milestone with something called a Red Egg and Ginger Party. What the heck is the significance of 100 days?? In East Asian cultures, when a baby lives past a certain number of days, it signifies that they will live to see their first birthday and beyond. Morbid? Sure, a little […]
I can’t even believe it is already the end of October beginning of December! As soon as the first of September hits, our household spirals into a whirlwind! At least every 2 weeks there’s a birthday or holiday to plan for and celebrate. This goes on right through to the end of December! And I don’t even have school-aged children…oh […]
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I wanted to share one of my favourite items of all time! I stumbled across Wonderbly Books when I was on a search for a special gift to commemorate Baby Badau turning one. Since receiving our personalized book, these things are one of my favourite go-to items to gift loved ones on […]
It’s the last day of December and we’re already taking down all the Christmas decor. Christmas spirit was kind of lacking for us this year. We DID get the Christmas tree up the first weekend of December, though. While all the Halloween decorations were still out on the front porch…blasphemy, I know! My mantra this year has been to “be […]
Confession from a hardcore A-type woman: I have all of Baby Badau’s birthday parties fully planned from now to age 6. And I mean PLANNED. Not just loose theme ideas, but down to logistics, locations, and vendors. Crazy…I know.
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 […]
