Pregnancy plays some hilarious (and not so hilarious) tricks on your mind and body. You know, like when you want to eat four times our normal volume of food, or when you cry at the drop of a hat… and in our case, get hella crafty. Yep, one of the weirdest things that...
It’s the middle of August, and in Ontario I can probably count on two hands the number of truly lovely summer days we’ve had. So, man, is it ever nice to finally be looking for ways to beat the heat! Looks like we could finally be in for some hot hot days as the...
It’s finally hot! And given the dreary, chilly start to the summer, the last thing we want to do is complain about the warmth. But a pregnant lady feeeeeeeels the heat in a way that no person should. You know, like with a dewy face, and swollen ankles. This is our...
I know it sounds cliché, but I didn’t think it could happen to me. I really didn’t. Most days I feel like a responsible parent (most days). I usually feel pretty organized, and in general feel like a good mom to Emmett. Which is why I’m still reeling from what...

Can we start with a little disclaimer here? Guys, I am in no way a professional photographer. But I do love taking pics of my sweet fam, and I’ve gained some tips and tricks along the way. And because you guys are awesome (and waaaaay too kind), a few of you have...
Emmett has a small nursery. Like teeny, tiny, postage-stamp kind of small. Our fam also happens to have a serious book addiction... my hubby may have basically every book he’s ever read stored on shelves (and in boxes) in our basement. So needless to say, we wanted to...
So we’ve been chatting lots about how fall, for us, means getting things back in order the house, and settling back into a routine. One of those ‘back-in-order’ jobs we do is getting the house tidied up and these days I’m always looking for simple, accessible, natural...
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?!
