Hello, Summer! You finally decided to arrive in Vancouver! With the warm weather upon us I started to crave my favourite summer treat: ice cream. I mean, who hasn’t sat down with a tub of ice cream and polished it off? If you haven’t, I’m not sure where you get the self control but I … More Nice cream
Before Ellis, parents always told me how fast time goes by when you have kids. I remember thinking of this leaving the hospital with our little baby girl and being so sure it was going to be easy and just fly by. I remember wanting to take the one week photo of her and counting … More 6 Months In
I don’t know at what point I became so touchy with what people say, but I am. I’m not sure if it’s my ‘mama bear’ coming out, or I’m just starting to realize that people speak without thinking.

When one of my best friends came to visit from Ottawa, I was plagued with one of the world flus I’ve had. It came on within a few hours and left me lying on the bathroom floor. One of the many perks of having a best friend for 12 years though, is that she’s … More Fail- Story time
When I was pregnant, I did my research. I searched mommy blogs and Instagram accounts, and scoured product reviews to find the best of the best for my little babe. And now, after almost 3 months of product testing, I officially have my first list of favourites and the fails. FAVS doTERRA Lavender oil rollerball … More Favs and Fails
This past Friday I decided it was time to venture out of the house on my own and do something just for me. After having my sweet Ellis 10 weeks ago, the most active thing I’ve done is walking the mall circuit with the stroller in one hand and a Starbucks in the other. I … More Mamaste
