The first two weeks of our social distancing/self-isolating or self-quarantine were very unpredictable. I tried to take it day by day (minute by minute on some days), but as time goes by I realized I also have to take some time to do things that make me feel good too, not just the kiddos. And [...]
Allow me to re-introduce myself.. First off, thank you for finding your way here. I'm excited to introduce myself and my blog to some of you who have kindly chosen to join my journey recently. Secondly, I'm not planning on going on and on about myself, but more so about this blog and all I [...]
And just like that, Fall has come! Hello friends. This is my first post since the middle of the summer! I found myself so focused the last two months on 1) enjoying every bit of summer while Madison was home with me and 2) prepare her for school and a new chapter for our [...]
My sweet little bird baby Mila. Thank goodness she loves her sister so much, otherwise I would feel completely guilty that she is always sharing her mommy and me time. But luckily we have created a really wonderful routine in our girl gang, tribe, girl army...whatever other cute names you could give us! I feel so [...]
2018 decided it was going to welcome it's self with bad news and heartbreak.

Motherhood is the strangest collection of emotions, it is the most overwhelming love for someone mixed with so much frustration, guilt, stress and sometimes anger. In one of my other posts I spoke about my mom guilt, the guilt I feel when I think I can't be at my best and am too tired to [...]
I have a deep rooted love for decorating and interior design. Don’t ask me about architecture or anything but I do love making things look good. (Or at least to me they do). I think it kind of started when we moved into our current house 3.5 years ago, and I was determined to make [...]
We celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada two weekends ago (for any non Canadian readers) and for our family, it was a special one. Maybe the vibe of it was different this year because the girls are just a little bit older and able to partake in more festivities and enjoy family get together's more. With Madison [...]
The intensity of my sleep deprivation this last month has been pretty insane and probably the worst I've ever experienced (Madison included). Mila turned one and it seems her sleep habits instantly changed from the moment she blew out the candle, but I expected big changes once she turned 1 as Madison did the same. [...]
