Give Me All The Fall Treats

Baking in the fall is like making snow angels in the winter… is it even fall if you don’t?! Are you kidding me? How have I walked 33 years (it’s 33 still right? I somehow have to think hard on my age😂) and NOT HAD THESE MUFFINS?! I’m serious. Guys, these are the freaking best…

Check Your Heart When You Check Your Social Media

Last year, I decided it was time to unplug from social media for a time. There were several key factors in making this decision, but it was a notification I got on my phone one afternoon that really got the ball rolling - my weekly screen time report. Now, it wasn't the first time I…

PPD Doesn’t Know Your Face

Postpartum Depression. You read about it in the news. You hear about how it happened to a friend of a friend. You think “That’s not me. That’s not my story. I’m just cranky. I’m tired. I’m stressed. I’m irrational, at times, but it is normal – I’m a young mom. It’ll get better with time……

The Teachable Twos

A couple of months ago, I was telling my sister that I don’t like referring to this challenging, yet adorable, developmental stage that my daughter has entered as the “Terrible Twos”. I told her that maybe I would just refer to them as the “Terrific Twos” but that felt like a bit of a lie…

Make Your Own Origami Bookmarks

I absolutely love crafting - especially when the project is super cute like these origami bookmarks! I had fun making a little video for the kids in my community to learn to make these cute bookmarks. It’s a really hard time for our world right now. A lot of uncertainty and everything just seemed to…

Now, picture that you are 31 weeks pregnant... and in another province!…

Hold Her a Little Longer

Slow down & breathe 💕 When the laundry is taunting you from endless piles in all of the corners in your house... hold her a little longer. When you can see the dinner crumbs under your toddler’s high chair from where you’re sitting... hold her a little longer. When you’re in the middle of a…

Educational, Easy & CHEAP Early Learning Activities

We started homeschooling our daughter when she was 14 months old. She had been so keen and curious that we decided it was the right time to start some organized early childhood education in our home. We plan to homeschool when she reaches school-age, but we thought, "why wait?". I'm always trying to think of…

Two Sides to Every Photo

There really are two sides to every photo. There's the beautiful backgrounds with the cute clothes and the sparkling smiles and everyone just looks so darn happy and then there's the reality (for most).

How SNS Saved My Breastfeeding Relationship

Before I had my daughter, I had already long decided that I would be a mother who exclusively breastfed. I did the research and I knew of the amazing benefits of establishing a breastfeeding relationship with my baby. I hadn't thought twice about whether I would offer formula to my baby because of how committed…
