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 […]
Last year, my uber talented baby brother took us on a road trip to the Canadian Rockies to shoot our maternity photos. When your siblings are talented AF, you capitalize on that shiet! Since before I was even remotely pregnant, I dreamed of doing a photo shoot in the Rockies. You know…in all my pregnancy glow and earthy motherly aura, […]
Updated: August 24, 2021 Ah, Le Diner en Blanc. One of the chicest, visually spectacular, and most exclusive events of the year! Chic high couture fashion, creative tablescapes, alfresco dining under the stars…all limited to a white pallet!? Count me IN! The Calgary event is right around the corner. There is A LOT of information to take in, and a […]
The one thing about being a new mom is that I have lost sense of the days of the week and of which holidays are right around the corner. Canada Day is not anything big in our household, but I was feeling festive this year for some reason. In all honesty, I would love to make a little something out […]
I see a lot of blue vs pink, moustaches vs lipstick, and bow ties vs tutus. I didn’t want our gender reveal to have any of those things because in this day and age, let’s just be real: lots of girls’ favourite colour is blue, real men wear pink, women have upper lip hair, men wear makeup, women look hot in bow ties and no one really bats an eye if a man rocks a tutu.
This year’s Mother’s Day activity involved macarons, tea and a picnic in the park. Ever on the quest and looking for tips for making the perfect macarons, the women in my family took the macaron baking class at Ollia Macarons & Tea. As with anyone who gives making macarons a try quickly learns…it is far from easy! I have made […]
Spring weather in the YYC has been incredibly testy! In the past two weeks, we have experienced heavy snowfall, high winds, rain AND dry hot sunny weather! Just a little bit crazy. The week immediately before Mother’s Day we had far from ideal weather. But as luck would have it, the hallmark holiday gods smiled upon us and gave us […]
The husband’s birthday is coming up this week. We stopped celebrating our birthdays a long time ago, including purchasing gifts for each other. This year, we went through something together that has proven life is short! I’m not quite ready to write about it yet, but the event has taught us to love each other even more and not to […]
