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.
That Pumpkin Patch Thing
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 […]
Maternity Photoshoot In The Rockies
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, […]
The Baby Products I Absolutely Love!
It’s been almost one full year since I became a mom. Holy crap, where did the time fly?! I have honestly enjoyed every single second of motherhood, and I can’t believe it’s almost time for me to return to work. During pregnancy, I was inundated with recommendations on the baby gear I needed and wouldn’t be able to live without. […]

A DAY AT NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE (WITH A BABY)
For all the times I have made a trip out east, I surprisingly have never visited Niagara-On-The-Lake. So this time, with our very last-minute planned trip to Toronto, I was adamant that we fit a visit to ice wine country into our schedule.
A Neutral Gender Reveal Party
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.
MOTHER’S DAY AT THE PARK
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 […]
CLOSET CONFIDENCE // BUILDING A WEARABLE VERSION
Today’s closet confidence challenge was to build a wearable version of a look I find on Pinterest. My sister had the family over for brunch today and I thought it the perfect opportunity to wear the outfit I have been planning for this challenge. The Inspiration Through hours of browsing, I came across Elie Saab’s Fall/Winter 2016 Haute Couture collection […]
CLOSET CONFIDENCE // WHAT NOT TO WEAR
Today’s Closet Confidence Challenge is to wear something that supposedly doesn’t flatter my body type. I actually had no idea what my body type was and probably spent the equivalent of 24 hours over the past week researching body types. It is all so confusing and I STILL don’t fit perfectly into a shape. I have landed on the fact that […]
