*Disclosure: This post was sponsored by White Dahlia Design, meaning we received compensation and/or services in exchange for our honest review.* Moving into our current home 3 years ago in the middle of renos and just days away from bringing our fourth babe into the world meant home decor was neglected and design took a back seat to simply keeping up with the demands
For those of you who’ve followed our blog and channels for a while, you know “zah” is kind of a big deal around here and “Pizza Night” is a regular one in our dinner rotation. I’ve also shared how I’m committing to a healthier lifestyle this year in partnership with Weight Watchers Canada, so spending the day with the WW Canada’s Chef Tyler and cooking
We’re easing into Summer over here and had a mom-daughter date at Brooks Farms while the boys got their energy out at camp this week. This family-owned and operated farm holds a special place in our hearts. It’s where we did our first Fall pumpkin picking trips with each of our babes, and also where we held our youngest son Easton’s 1st Birthday. They
This year has been very much about rearranging – my priorities, my work life, and now, all the stuff in our home to bring more flow and function to our family.

Our Beach Vow Renewal – Simple Yet Beautiful We did it…again!💕 We pulled off a simple, yet absolutely beautiful beach vow renewal in Punta Cana!

Our big guys have just finished a busy season of competitive hockey, and while we may have more time on our hands without the demanding schedule, I don’t really see things slowing down. Having four kids means lots of energy to manage or things get a little whirly around here. I was made for a slower pace of life but being a mama of
Earth Day is April 22nd and we thought it was a good opportunity to check in on our family’s environmental impact. We found the EarthDay.org Quiz that assesses a family’s overall ecological footprint. While we make conscious efforts to implement enviro-friendly actions and choices in our home, our results were eye-opening and prompted us to commit to making some realistic changes to reduce our
Adventures in Vow Renewal: Andrew and I celebrated our 12 year Anniversary this year (22 years together). We’d [insert “I” with some nudging;)] wanted to renew our vows for our 10-year, but with a 3 month old newborn, and some other crazy going on in life, we bailed on the idea. Since I like even numbers, and we’re slowly coming out of the fog
Spring has sprung and so have the commitments in our calendar. I always find Spring such a celebration-filled time. I love having my birthday in Spring, and its also the season we became parents for the first time to our son Brody.
