*this blog post is sponsored by Save on Foods It’s picnic szn! Wondering what to pack that’s satisfying, healthy, and easy to throw together? I gotchu. In Calgary, hot and sunny days are few and far between. So when they arrive, we take full advantage. We went out to the mountains (luckily, very close to…

Do you have a store that you absolutely LOVE going to? The kind of store that literally has it all and even though you’ve made a list of what you need, the store shows you what else you need? That store for me is West Coast Kids. They truly have it all; knowledgeable staff, top…

Can you believe this weather lately?! It is so damn cold! When the temperatures drop this drastically (high of -28 C here in YYC) and it’s so frigid, we can’t let the kids out to play at all. We try to do as much as possible inside to keep them entertained. Unfortunately, at this time…

Home birthing Mamas, HELLO! And welcome 🙂 With my third baby making his/her appearance in just eight short weeks, I have started to gather my home birthing supplies.

Back in August, I was dropping off a gift for a girlfriend and when she answered the door, my jaw just about dropped. She looked incredible. Her jeans were literally slipping down her waist – she looked healthy, strong, and perfectly comfortable in her own body. This being in stark contrast to me – the…

I posted an Instagram story a few weeks ago of Henry and Posie doing their chores. Henry was cleaning windows and Posie was refilling the cat food. The response I got from my audience was overwhelming. How do you get them to do this? Aren’t you worried about streaks on your window? Do they do…

Bright red, green, and garish holiday decorations? Ya, me neither. Here’s a super simple minimalist Christmas decor DIY. You can use these as tree ornaments, mantle decor, or string as a fireplace garland. What you’ll need 1 cup baking soda 1/2 cup tapioca starch (I think corn starch would also work but I didn’t have…

Quick. Easy. Decadent… YES, PLEASE!! I’ve been craving comfort in these last couple weeks of pregnancy and when I say this dish hit the spot, it HIT THE SPOT.
