If you have toddlers in your house, you know that snacks are a fact of life. Like a non-stop, all-the-time, can’t-survive-without-them fact of life. In fact, finding snacks that my kids love AND that I’m happy giving them can feel like a full-time job. Especially when...
I thought a lot about that title. Big Boy. I mean, some days I’m barely able to admit you’re not my baby anymore. But then, some days I’m overwhelmed by the amazing kid you’re growing into. This year you’ve grown into yourself in remarkable ways. Somehow the change...
It's that time again! When we wear full-body fleece jams, drink our bodyweight in hot cocoa and deck every single one of the halls. And trust me when I say, I love EVERYTHING Christmas. But when Christmas rolls around in our tiny abode, it's also the time where I have...
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I don’t love Christmas shopping. Okay, that’s not exactly true. Because there’s almost nothing I love more than finding the perfect gift for someone special in my life. But what I don’t love is the stress and pressure that...
My mama heart skipped a beat last week when Emmett came to me asking if we could ‘say thank you’ to the firefighters in our neighbourhood. You see, he’d just had firefighters come into his class to talk about what they do to keep our community safe, and in his sweet...

You came into the world in a hurry. A week ahead of time, and after a bit of a false start, you made quite the entrance earth-side (good thing those docs are quick on their feet). I swear you came out smiling, and haven’t stopped since. You were sweet, quiet and...
There are two things about my family that I know for sure: Sandwiches are ALWAYS a hit (I’ve been known to make ‘sandwiches’ out of just about anything to get Emmett to eat it) Weekdays are crazy. A busy, chaotic, rodeo-of-toddlers, kind of busy. So, when Emmett and...
Okay, so before we get started here I’m going to kick this off with a big ol’ caveat: I’m NOT a professional interior designer. I enjoy creating lovely spaces in our home, but trust me, that does not (ahem) make me a designer. Buuuut, that being said, we did have some...
Note: I have partnered with YMC and Kellogg and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are (as always!) my own. Balance. It’s one of those words that tends to get overused and under-considered. But for us, it’s really important. You see, balance has...
My front line product tester, side kick, fun-seeker, sleep-boycotter, and ultimate joy! We're a team! Oh, and did I mention he has a little baby sister too?!
