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 [...]
As we all know, life goes by in the blink of an eye. Already my son has turned 2 and my baby girl is 6 months old! Every moment feels so special and like I will hold onto it forever, but as the days go by, everyday duties cycle through, new adventures begin, and I find myself unable to recall moments from the early days. I try to capture as many moments [...]
I love cooking healthy meals for my family at home, but some weeks with the busy life of 2 under 2 it can be a hard task. Meal planning can take too much creative brain work, grocery shopping can be quite the task, and then actually cooking what I thought would be a good idea during the week can be time-consuming and unmotivating. Cue Healthy Meal Plans, a fabulous tool that requires [...]
Kids are serious nutcases and when they're so little their attention spans can be so short so they get bored easily and tug on your pant leg to entertain them for a while. As much as I love playing with my kids, I can't do it all the time, cause this mama needs to get shit done and have a moment to breathe and finish a coffee while it's hot. That's why [...]
After going through so many challenges with our first born's sleep (read about sleep training a toddler) I knew I didn't want to repeat the same thing with our daughter. Luckily I learned a lot through the process and we had some help from a sleep consultant. With a lot of hard work my daughter Addi has been sleeping through the night since she was 8 weeks old. Every baby is different, [...]
Working with Sierra has been truly life changing for our family. I've heard so many bad things about sleep training a toddler and was very relieved with how our gentle sleep training program went with Sierra from Sweet Sleep. She was able to help us turn things around with our toddler and set our newborn up for sleeping success (read more about how to get a newborn to sleep). Full disclosure, I [...]
If you follow along on my Instagram Stories you know that our family loves snack balls. I’ve been making the same snack bite recipe for over a year and it’s time to switch things up a bit. I based this M&M snack bite recipe off my previous recipe with a few simple and tasty changes. […]

It is truly incredible what we go through creating our tiny humans, and every mom's birth experience is so different. After having such a rough experience with Logan (read more about his birth story), I'm so happy I'm able to share about a positive birth experience this time around. As my due date crept closer, our family fell sick, talk about bad timing! Logan caught a cold a week prior, followed by [...]
