What comes to mind when you think about furniture shopping? It's likely one of two things: Ugh, hours spent walking a huge, yet stuffy showroom with some salesperson chasing you down insisting you need this couch that just so happens to come with a free T.V. if you buy today. or No thanks! I pay-and-pray from the comfort of my own home thanks to online shopping. Sure, … [Read more...]

Smile Brilliant ft. cariPRO™ Electric Toothbrush

Electric tooth brush sitting on bathroom sink

When I was about 13 years old, a friends younger sister ever so innocently asked me "why are your teeth so yellow?" And in true Seventeen fashion - I was mortified. A combination of less than perfect, teenaged dental hygiene and a morning coffee habit (and probably genetics), there was no hiding my yellow teeth. Fast forward 20 something years, and while my dental … [Read more...]

Eco friendly laundry ft. Tru Earth

Tru Earth Eco friendly laundry soap

As a busy family of five, we accumulate a LOT of laundry. For many years I've made my own eco friendly laundry soap in an effort to cut down on the monthly expense, and while I love the cost savings of homemade laundry detergent, I definitely don't love the 30 bottles that sit on the laundry room floor at any given time. I recently discovered Tru Earth Eco-Friendly Laundry … [Read more...]

3 reasons you NEED a house cleaner

3 reasons you NEED a house cleaner

Do you get excited about cleaning your house? Ya-no...Me neither. In fact, for me, cleaning is HARD – read: intimidating, anxiety inducing, overwhelming, feels like I'm tackling the world, hard. Once you're done laughing at how ridiculous that sounds, hear me out. REAL TALK: I've always been a messy person, clutter messy as opposed to dirty messy, but messy nonetheless. That … [Read more...]

Well, that’s a wrap on my final maternity leave! Back to work for this girl!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Re-entering the workforce is looking a little different this time around. Working from home means I’m going to have to be even more diligent with taking breaks and making time for myself, something that I’ve historically not been very good at. It also means that my screen time is going to be increasing exponentially. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In anticipation of my return to work, I picked up a pair of @sojovision bluelight glasses from Amazon. They shipped super fast, are a great fit and look super cute if I do say so myself!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you use bluelight glasses?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Never did I think I would have my daughter’s cak Never did I think I would have my daughter’s cake smash on the floor of an arcade, but as I’ve said with all the other weird things I’ve done over the last year... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here we are! 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had two milestone pandemic birthdays two days apart - 16 and one, so I rented out the amazing @capcityarcade and had our own little birthday party. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The joys of having a big family is that even during a pandemic, there’s always enough people for a party! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What’s your favourite retro video game? I got lost in pong (although it was called something else), and impressed my kids by getting the high score! 💪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One year (and a day) of loving you! 💕 What a y One year (and a day) of loving you! 💕

What a year it’s been. Much like everything else in my life I came into this whole new mom again role with high expectations. I had so many plans to do all the things I missed doing with Smalls as a baby because of her open heart surgery. 

Sadly, the pandemic took many of my dreams for this maternity leave away. What it did do however was gave me even more time with all of my kids. It gave the kids more time to watch their baby sister grow, learn and develop and I am so amazingly grateful for that.

I am so fortunate to have the most amazing kids, four different and truly outstanding little humans.

I can not even begin to believe it’s been a year, I blinked and here we are. 

Happy birthday my sweet babe. I love you more than words. 💕💕

Virtual Baby Shower Gíveaway - Day 5! 👶🏻 Virtual Baby Shower Gíveaway - Day 5! 👶🏻

I shared a meme on Facebook while I was pregnant with Brooklyn, it was poking fun at how the second, third, and in this case fourth baby don’t have the meticulously curated baby book that the first child gets.

This rang true with my second and subsequent children for sure, but that stops here.

I’m a big fan of minimalistic baby things and this @stashandstory modern and functional baby book box is exactly that.

This sleek book and box pulls double duty as a space share memories and also keep them. Hospital bracelet and name card, tiny hand and foot prints, and soon all of her artwork will be meticulously stored in this gorgeous keepsake. I can’t wait to fill the pages with the same excitement as I did with my first child (sorry Smalls! 🤣)
