10 Tips for Photographing Kids + Babies

Let me start off by saying I’m not a professional photographer. I have no formal training in photography, instead I learned by watching my dad take photos as we were kids and – once I hit my teenage years and got my very first point-and-shoot – just getting out there and taking photos. For my 22nd birthday, I got my first entry-level D-SLR (which got stolen less than a year later on an epic bike tour through Western Ireland with my sister) and I’ve had a camera in my bag ever since. I never considered myself particularly good, but I loved taking photos and sharing them with friends and family ..read more

DIY Kaleidoscope + 24 Other Fun Recycling Crafts

With more than 6 months of quarantine life under our belts (and lots of sniffly kids being kept home now that school has started up again), we’ve taken our crafting game to a whole new level. Crafting is one of my all-time favourite things from way before I even thought of having kids and I love that my kids are just as obsessed as I am. We’ve been trying to create less waste in our day-to-day lives and this is especially important to me when I’m crafting with my kids. We try to buy as little as possible and instead look to what we have lying around our house (and in our recycling bin!) to co ..read more

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll have heard about the threats of climate change and how environmental agencies are racing to stop the clock on global warming. And I’m sure you’ve also heard about many big ways to save energy in your home – putting up solar panels, better insulating your home, planting trees – which are all great options… but can also cost a pretty penny. And that might not be feasible for everyone, or maybe not in the short term. Luckily there are many little changes that don’t require a lot of effort and are also easy on the wallet but that can add up to big ch ..read more

Helloooooo there! I know it’s been very quiet around here. So quiet in fact that this is my first blog post of 2020!

It’s high time that changes and I couldn’t think of a better blog post to kick myself back into gear than sharing with you guys my favourite black-owned, small-business home decor shops.

Natural, modern and monochrome Christmas tablescape

‘Tis the season for lots of gatherings and I’m here for it! My favourite thing about having a group of friends or family over for dinner is putting together a pretty table. It’s not actually cooking the meal – which, let’s be honest, ain’t happening these days anyway. Is that weird? I would think that, for most people, a dinner party is all about preparing the food but I legit love it for having an excuse to put together a pretty table setting. And then of course once everyone’s here, it’s about the great company, the fabulous conversations, drinking wine, and the fits of laughter we inevitab ..read more

Favourite Matching Christmas Pyjamas for the whole family

If you’ve been following along on Instagram for a little while, you know I love any and all forms of matching. (Actually, you’d probably get the gist of my love affair with #twinningiswinning after only about a week lol.) I love it for so many reasons, but mainly for the image of unity it presents in a photo. That and it’s just so fun to see mini versions of yourselves, especially when it’s shown so literally with matching clothing. One of my most frequently asked questions on Instagram, especially around Christmas-time is where I get all of our matchy PJs from and, whilst I usually try and t ..read more

9 more days until Christmas! Can you even believe it? (I can’t. At all.) On one hand I’m super excited for the big day to come because the lead-up to Christmas is always so hectic and chaotic and basically one giant duck-in-water experience (you know, calm above water whilst under the surface is a whole different feet-going-crazy experience). On the other hand, this is my favourite time of year and I really wish I had about 4 extra weeks to take in all the Christmas goodness. But I digress. ‘Tis the season for gift guides, right? A little late – but I’m jumping on that bandwagon none-the-les ..read more

Ahh, winter. Welcome to Canada – I know you’re going to make yourself nice and comfortable for the next six-ish months. I’m actually really excited about the winter this year (ask me again in January when it’s minus 30 – might be a different story). On a superficial note, I love the fashion – the cozy knit sweaters, jackets, boots, cute bobble hats, comfy leggings and socks. I love the snow – how beautiful it looks, the sheer joy kids experience when it’s snowing, and just how fun playing in the snow really is (I all but forgot about that last one until I had kids). And most of all I love the ..read more

Skincare in your 30s: 8 important habits

I love being in my 30s. Absolutely love it. I might occasionally long for the glorious feeling of basically zero responsibility and what now feels like endless amounts of time, but all in all, this decade has been great so far. Shifting priorities to what’s really important (aka kids and not some dumb girly drama); feeling more confident in my own skin and not caring so much what other people think; living more in the moment and appreciating simple joys like 4-year-old belly laughs; not having a mild panic attack every time I’m at the cashier because I genuinely don’t know if there’s any mone ..read more

25 more days until Halloween!! I feel like such a broken record but I honestly cannot fathom that it’s already October and, before we know it, a new decade (crazy!!) will be here. This year has zoomed by at lightning speed! Not too mad about it though because fall is my favourite time of the year and I love love love dressing up for Halloween (not just on October 31st, clearly :P). We started family costumes three years ago and it’s always so fun figuring out what we’ll be next. If you’re looking for a family halloween costume this year and need a little inspiration, I’ve rounded up 20 of my ..read more
