This bathroom makeover has been much needed and I love the look of our new DIY board and batten. Two years ago we moved into our 90's home I knew all of our bathrooms needed a major facelift, but they fell to the bottom of the list while we reno'd our downstairs kitchen and living spaces. When our toilet broke after Logan's Curious George birthday party, it gave us the push we [...]
Some days we just really don't feel like f@%#ing cooking. The kids are demanding, it's been a hectic day, you feel like crap or just unmotivated, whatever the reason may be, it happens, and that's why I always include a few toddler friendly quick and easy meal ideas when I meal plan (get your free Grocery Shop and Meal Plan printable). Who knew one of the hardest parts of being an adult [...]
For years I killed every plant I touched and I had no idea how to care for houseplants even though I really wanted them. Thankfully I've been able to pass that hurdle as I've learned more and more and turned my black thumb into a green thumb. If you have that problem, you're not a lost cause! With a little practice you can totally turn things around. Now having plants has turned [...]
Screen time can be such a controversial topic for some, but whether your kid is in front of a screen for hours a day, or closely monitored and time restricted, I think we can all agree that it's great when they're engaging with something that's educational. But, not all apps are created equal and it's surprisingly hard to find good ones that are age appropriate. That's why I've compiled this list of [...]
From time to time I like to whip up a tasty treat and try a new recipe, and these Carrot Cake Donuts did not disappoint! With the Easter holiday approaching these make for a perfect Spring treat to enjoy with the family. Plus, they have tons of carrots so it’s kind of a salad right 😉 […]
I used to suck at plants! It was terrible, I’ve even killed multiple succulents 🙈 but I’ve always loved the feeling they bring into the home and have been determined to turn my black thumb green. Slowly over the last few years I’ve been successful at keeping more and more alive, and that’s in big part to my favourite garden center, GardenWorks Canada and them helping teach me which plants are good [...]
Today's Fashion Friday is totally extra and I'm loving it! Leopard coats can be really intimidating but they're surprisingly versatile and do just as good dressed down as they do dressed up. This particular leopard coat from Shop Beautifully You [gifted] is soooooooooo amazingly soft, I can't stop touching it and rubbing it on my cheeks, seriously, I'm obsessed! It feels like a nice warm fuzzy housecoat that gives you an extra [...]
I was never a big random holiday type of person, but now that I have kids I like to do a little something special for them and Valentine's Day is no exception. Because food is our family's love language I've created this drool-worthy Valentine's Day charcuterie board and I've connected with some other great mom bloggers to show you their Valentine's Day toddler ideas too. Most of them are nice and simple [...]
Two under two is no joke. The adjustment period pushed me to a point of exhaustion I didn't know was possible, and every day felt like chaos. I was scared to be left alone with the 2 kids for more than a couple of hours. How would I handle naps? What if the baby is crying and my toddler needs me at the same time? How do I go to the bathroom? [...]
My son loves Curious George, so as his 2nd birthday was approaching I knew I had to throw him a Curious George birthday party. I have so much fun planning parties like this (Low Key Gender Reveal), but I also think things should be kept simple and within budget. The dollar store is my favourite way of doing that! In all honesty, for this Curious George birthday party, I strayed from my [...]
