I LOVE Halloween and I LOVE dressing up. Our kids love to dress up and we totally get into the spooky spirit this time of year. Every year since Owens wore glasses we’ve always had to really brainstorm costume ideas that go well with his glasses. For the most part we’ve always just incorporated it into the theme of whatever he was going for but the past few years we’ve been getting creative! With that being said, if you are a glasses wearer, then these really fun ideas for Halloween costumes you’ll love. You can create using glasses or even sunglasses so today we’re sharing 20 different Hallo ..read more

You read that right you guys, somehow managed to succeed at making Focaccia bread! Looking back before making it, it seemed like a daunting recipe that I thought I’d fail for sure. I had no idea at just how easy it is to make and it tasted amazing. The perfect Fall bread to make for days in cooking comfort food that’s for sure. This recipe is literally simplified for you because I simplified it for myself. Just so that I knew I’d make it as easy as I could. Life’s busy, making bread seems so out of touch right? But not this one! Ingredients: 4 cups Flour 2 tsp Active dry yeast 2 tsp Sugar 1 ..read more

Ever since we visited Tofino in the Fall and tried out electric bikes for the first time, Owen and I were just so excited at how fun it really was to ride them. We remembered it everyday since just the other week when we became proud owners of our very own electric bike from Momentum Canada!! The Momentum Voya E+ 3 is the best electric bike we’ve ever rode with 4 different electric speeds, easy to use and charge. It’s been such a blast to ride. We’ve both been like kids fighting over using it! Coming in two different colors Asphalt Green and Beeswax, we of course went with the Asphalt green ..read more

The shoe that fits all seasons Vessi! We really fell in love with this line of footwear last year when we all tried our first pairs of Vessi, and it was the best especially living where we do where it rains so much. They’re waterproof and breathable and perfect for on the go or everyday. I love the comfort and especially the versatility of them. But honestly another perk is being able to wash them in the washing machine and air dry. They are back to brand new shape after that and its such a good feeling. There are so many ways to wear them, styles and colours. Owen and I tried out the Borderw ..read more

Dressing up the bottom of the Christmas tree is a tradition most families have at their home when decorating the family Christmas tree. Normally we have a fabric tree skirt that runs below, but year after year we are always struggling with it. By struggle I mean the dogs want to rip it out from under the tree and either sleep on it or tear it apart. Which becomes quite the thing in our home.   We wanted to create a Holiday collaboration project with Home Hardware this year. We thought to ourselves, wouldn’t this be a great idea to help solve that case but also give the bottom of the ..read more

Just as we change our wardrobe as winter approaches, our skincare routine also needs an adjustment to preserve and protect it.

I was recently introduced to Maison Apothecare, a Canadian owned, female run small business founded on luxury, efficiency and sustainability. As a mother I have always had a curio ..read more

Well I have been patiently awaiting the Holidays and it’s creeping up around the corner. Which has our whole family very excited because we love Christmas. The whole spirit of it, the energy and uplifting good we see around us. It’s an exciting feeling that is so powerful. But most importantly the best thing about Christmas is the good food, am I right?   BEFORE With the two kids growing rapidly, I noticed that our previous table was getting a tad bit too small for us. Every evening we’d find ourselves bumping elbows with our neighbors and at first it was funny. But then it got kind ..read more
