So, we’re firmly in our new routine these days. Pre-school three mornings a week for Emmett, which he officially now loves! The end goal is to give me and the new babe a couple of hours, a few times a week to bond one on one (or, you know, nap together). There’s so...
The Country Jams You Need to Add to Your (toddler) Dance Party Playlist
There are two things you should probably know about me: I love country music. I’m a huge fan of spontaneous dance parties. In fact, I’m a firm believer that when the day starts getting out of hand, and Em’s mood is going sideways, one of the best solutions is to throw...

Em’s Monochromatic Big Boy Room
Okay. I'm going to start this post with a little apology for being tardy. I fully meant to have this up like a month ago... but you know, life. Now that that's out of the way, we're super excited to share Em's big boy room with you! We had a few goals for the space...
Some Second-Pregnancy Real Talk

Two Times the… Fun?!?
34 weeks. I’ve been pregnant for 34 weeks already, and it seems like a blur. How can it be so much different this time around? Well, if we’re being honest, the first 13 weeks were survival mode. Morning sickness, queasiness and exhaustion, all with a toddler on the...
One Step at A Time: A Hard Lesson Courtesy of Motherhood
Motherhood. It’s a doozy. There can be weeks and weeks when I go along thinking everything is fine, and then BAM. A life lesson smacks you in the face. I’m going to go ahead and admit here (because it’s just us, right?!) that I can be a little bit Type A about things....
Our Babymoon, and Why It Almost Didn’t Happen
A couple short weeks ago, we took a few days and headed up north for a relaxing, restful, fun, energizing Babymoon with just me and the Hubbs. And it almost didn’t happen. It was one of those things I’d been looking forward to in the abstract. Some time away together...
How to Put Together a Beautiful (Neutral) Front Porch for Fall
I love Fall. Seriously, by far it's my favourite season. I love the cooler temps, and the crisp days. I love the cozy fashion, and allllllllll the apples. But I'll let you in on a little secret. There's one thing I don't love about Fall... Orange. There's something...
