View our Disclosure for more information* This year is one marked with BIG changes for many in our family, one being the retirement of my Mama. She’s a true female role model in my life…a bit of a trailblazer when she
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. When we moved into our house nearly 3 years ago now, I was 10 months preggers, and days away from delivering our fourth and final babe. The energy to organize the house impeccably just
Disclosure: I have partnered with YMC and Turkey Farmers of Ontario and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own. With the arrival of warmer temps (finally!), we’ve been spending tons of time outdoors poolside, and savouring a slower, simpler pace of life outside of hockey season.

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Trivago, meaning we received compensation for our honest review of our favorite all-inclusive family resort. Taking a family vacation should feel like one, right? So, it’s no wonder so many opt for the All-Inclusive route. We just went on our first to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana and are mega-hooked. Why? Everything is handled, making for
We did it…again!💕 And I’ve finally got the post finished so many of you keep asking me for! (Bonus: a video to go along with this down below thanks to an incredible friend who knows a thing or two about video production). Today also happens to be my parents’ 47th Wedding Anniversary. They were high school sweethearts like Andrew & I, and have been
Last week someone in Media asked: “what kind of Mom are you?” To be honest, I’m not into the labels we assign to Moms. The role of “Mom” is pretty hardcore and fabulous all on its own. Labels, I feel, are another way of dividing us, when, although our lifestyle choices and journey may be different, at the core, the joys and struggles of Motherhood
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
