Can we chat about our Alberta teachers for a moment?! Well, really ALL teachers?!  Not only were they tasked with all the new working conditions in 2020. But they also had to continue showing up for themselves, their students, and their families.

First, can I start by saying that the Fairmont Banff Springs is as magical as they say it is?  Immediately upon arrival, you feel like royalty! To tell you the truth, we’ve always wanted to visit the castle in the rockies long before our move to Calgary! We’d always daydream what it would be like to be guests at the hotel. What we would do, where we would eat, and how long we would stay at the pool & hot tub. You know, kid-free stuff. What we didn’t plan for was finally being able to stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs, but as parents of two. AND still enjoying our time! You may also ..read more

Friends! I’m so excited to be partnering up with H&M to share all about their new Rethink our Role Models initiative. Intrigued? Let me get right into it. What is Role Models x H&M all about? When you first think of a role model, who do you automatically think about first? Our first thought might be to think of an adult, someone older than us who has had more world experience – but what if we put the spotlight on kids like the young changemakers of the future?
