Spoiler alert, it’s the Park & Fifth Fairfax Dress I always have an eye out for no-fuss long sleeve midi dresses. I’ve found a few great ones at Zara over the years, but I am also trying to shop less fast fashion brands (a work in progress and a post for another time). When I saw Vancouver-based Park & Fifth come out with the Fairfax dress, I immediately added it to my wishlist. Love that these dresses have been made right here in Vancouver and that their pieces are produced with low textile waste in mind. You can read all about their sustainability efforts here. I recently got to mode ..read more

Some Covid-friendly activity ideas to fill your wake windows with your little ones this fall and winter 2020/2021! (Please note, I will be continually updating this list as new ideas come up and rules change, so please check back) I’m a first-time mom with an almost 10-month-old baby and am absolutely terrified of lockdown during these shorter, colder days. Pretty stressed about my baby’s lack of in-person social interaction and you know what? I’m also sad that this wasn’t the maternity leave I’d imagined. I know a lot of parents out there are feeling the same way, so I reached out to my amazi ..read more

Let’s Talk Baby Bedtime Routine | AD

Here’s how we tackle a bedtime routine. This post is in partnership with JOHNSON’S® Baby Canada. As always, opinions are my own. We’ve received so much great advice from people since becoming parents. One of my favourite pieces of wisdom came from a friend about a month postpartum. We were tired and I reached out asking if we’d ever be rested again and her advice was simple. She said though it seems early, establish a bedtime routine as soon as you can. Even if it’s an extremely basic two-step process, choose an approximate bedtime and implement those sleep habits now. Turns out that a silver ..read more

Pregnancy Diary | Weeks 20-39

Reflecting on the second half of my pregnancy. Better late than never on the pregnancy diary, eh?! If I don’t document this now, these months will disappear from my mind, I assure you. My memory is atrocious, at best. Throw “Mom Brain” in there and it’s a wonder I remember anything at all. What a completely different ride these weeks were and they definitely went by quickly. Anything seems faster than those slow first trimester days, or at least that’s how I felt. You should check out my recap of the first 20 weeks before diving into this post. Or be a rebel and don’t, choose your own adventur ..read more

You asked on Instagram, here are my answers! I’ve always hesitated to do an Ask Me Anything on Instagram. I think I worried that someone was going to troll me with a mean question. Which is ridiculous, you guys are the best and wouldn’t do that. My first Q&A went well and not surprisingly, was mostly focused on baby-related questions. I didn’t get a chance to get back to everyone, so I wanted to take the time to answer a few more and to repost some of my other responses so that they can live on the blog. Q: Post baby must-haves? Having my second but curious anyway. Okay, these are some off ..read more
