Just a mom, standing outside during hurricane seas

Just a mom, standing outside during hurricane season in Nova Scotia on my way out to school drop off. Who feels me on investing in all the rain gear?

I’ve started building my first capsule collection for Fall/Winter and am investing in a few pieces I love that will last and are made with ethical practices in place. @sattvaboutique was my first stop and this whole look was from there and will carry me through 3 of 4 seasons.

Through my personal journey, I have learned that t

Through my personal journey, I have learned that taking the time to focus on self-care is so important for mental health, especially during this pandemic. It’s something I’m also teaching to our kids along with having open conversations about mental health in a space that feels comfortable to them. Whether you are able to talk to them on their way home from school in the car or at the dinner table, these are the moments that allow us as parents to teach our children the importance of mental health.
In Canada, children and youth often do not receive the mental health services and early intervention they need, and we need your help to change that. I’m partnering with @Sobeys and Canada’s Children’s Hospital Foundation for the #FamilyOfSupport campaign to raise awareness and funds for child and youth mental health. Check out the link in my bio to learn more about this amazing initiative!! You can also head to your local Sobeys store September 17-October 1 to donate if you’re able. *Sponsored #SobeysPartner.

Happiest birthdays to the love of my life. 8 years

Happiest birthdays to the love of my life. 8 years ago we met, both broken and lost. But, with some magic that somehow kept us together, we have literally made it through everything, found our happiness and fixed the broken pieces. You are my rock and my best friend and I am so happy that you were born for me to love. What ever may come ‘We will figure it out’. Happy birthday big bear! 📸:@deedeemorrisphotography

I said goodbye to my sister, niece and nephew for

I said goodbye to my sister, niece and nephew for another year. 2020 has been hard on so many levels, but it also brought my sister home for the longest period of time in our adult life. Not only did I spend such great time with her over the last 5 months, but our kids (the 6 cousins all together) became closer than we could have ever thought. It’s going to be hard to transition into not having built in best friends minutes away but we can just count down the days until next June rolls around and they are with us again. Safe travels back to Abu Dhabi @halfhealthyhollie 😘.

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED. CONGRATS @hillla13**
Ad: Our completed powder room. I can’t believe the difference a little bit of paint and a DIY floating vanity can make in a space. This only took us a weekend to do and we stayed within our budget which is fantastic. We knew we wanted to make an impact with this room, so we went with a hue from the BEHRⓇ Color Trends 2021 Palette and painted everything but the floor @behrpaint Barnwood Gray PPU24-07 and the kids stool got a pop of color with Voyage PPU13-07. To ensure a flat and durable finish, we went with BEHR ULTRA™️ SCUFF DEFENSE™️ paint. To help one of you with your painting projects, we are giving away a $100 gift card to The Home Depot.

Our front door stripped:

Since we are in the mood for revealing, Here is our long awaited stripped front door from the outside. Doesn’t it look UNREAL against the black? And yes that is the travelling wreath. It’s just too good to not put in every photo. Don’t worry though, I have a different one on order. I have officially become the mom who decks out the house for each season 🙈🙈🙈#wooddoor

Mudroom Bench Reveal:

Thank you all so much for sticking with us and being as dedicated to this small little project as we are. We still are on the hunt for the perfect baskets for under it for our shoes but we have all been using it a ton even when it wasn’t finished. What do you think?! #mudroom

Who else has been planning out a home office or ho

Who else has been planning out a home office or homework station? We are so happy with this little corner we made, but with the table being attached to the original
wainscoting, we didn’t want to put any more holes in the upper portion to hang our DIY
chalk board. We grabbed our favourite @CommandCanada Picture Hanging Strips and were able to hang it securely without damaging the walls. We also are using one of their clear caddies to hold the chalk so that it doesn’t take any room up on the desk. Genius if you ask me 😉 *ad #DoNoHarm

Ok, I'm admitting that Rob does all of the laundry

Ok, I'm admitting that Rob does all of the laundry in our home, and recently he switched our family over to @Tidelaundry PODS plus Downy Free. If you've been here for a while you know that our kids and I all have extremely sensitive skin that we battle with on a day-to-day basis. I’ll be chatting a little bit more about it on my stories soon but Tide PODS plus Downy Free has been one of the only sensitive skin formulas that actually gets our clothes clean on the first wash. It has all of the same cleaning power as your regular Tide but making sure our sensitive skin is safe. Plus, it's recognized by both the Eczema Society of Canada (ESC) and the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) and has received the Seal of Recognition from the NPF and Seal of Acceptance™ from the ESC .We are so happy we switched for our little family. #TidePODSSquad #ad

This boy is an outdoorsy type and we totally are nurturing that fact now that he's not shoving everything into his mouth. *AD. I like to go for a walk with Zeus first thing in the morning. But, on the days that I don't, Emmitt and I do a little walk around the neighbourhood in the afternoon. We have being using the @gracocanada Modes Pramette Travel system lately and It has been such a smooth ride. #gracocanada

Let’s call this the bench chronicles...
Now that you guys helped us out and making a decision about not going with this type of a top, picture it as a light wood bench similar to our powder room vanity, with 4 baskets underneath, maybe a pot of Mumm’s in the corner and obviously a wheat wreath somewhere for Fall 😉😉 can you see my vision? Head to my stories to see how this has all played out and what my inspo photo is. #capecorncottage #mudroom

There’s just something about dogs and babies, am

There’s just something about dogs and babies, am I right? We adopted Zeus from the SPCA as a puppy when Aubrey was not much older than Emmitt is now. It has been 5 1/2 years of being dog owners and we have definitely learned a lot in those years. One thing that we strongly believe in is making sure we take Zeus to the vet whenever his mood changes or we see signs of extreme itching. From unknown tick bites to severe food allergies, we have found out so many things by just looking at the signs and getting a vet's expertise for the right answers and plans. With healthy skin, he is a happy dog who has more patience with these kids than I do. I have teamed up with @royalcanincanada to spread the word that if you have an #itchypetseeyourvet. *ad

Congrats @asherares

With fall and cold and flu season not far away, we are making every effort to be going into it as healthy as we can be. I have been turning to Amazon to order all our favourite Church & Dwight products from their Everyday Wellness bundle, delivered right to our door. Think vitamins to keep us healthy, probiotics to help with our gut health, RUB A535 for those muscle pains, and even Gravol Ginger for those days when you feel awful. I want to make sure that you all remain healthy as well, so I am giving away one of the bundles including all of my favourite things. #ad #everydaywellness

Anyone else have a personal hairstylist? Poppy is

Anyone else have a personal hairstylist? Poppy is obsessed with having beautiful longhair like her favourite princesses. She has now told me that I need to grow my hair long like her and I totally agree. I mean, the short hair has been great, but I really miss my long locks. The key to growing your hair out is to have healthy hair so I switched over to @garniercan Whole Blends Honey Treasures Repairing line to get my hair in the best health to grow. Bonus? It smells
unreal. *ad

Our couch ➡️ the details

we have been getting asked a lot about the details of our couch lately, so I thought I would put them all here for you guys as an easy reference. It’s from @kavuus the Lucia sofa. We customized it into the ivory lace fabric with stain protection. It’s the standard length, depth and cushion comfort. We love it! It’s on sale right now and with code’PILLOW-47393’ you will get 2x 20inch pillows to match 😉. Hope that answers all the questions. #kavuus

**Powder Room Reveal**

Can you believe this renovation only took us three days to complete? I think the power of paint is strong. Giving this a moody hue from @behrpaint in Barnwood Gray PPU24-07 with a fun Voyage PPU13-7 stool accent, and a DIY floating vanity, we were able to totally transform our powder room into something that feels more like it belongs in a spa. Swipe over to see what it looked like before. #beforeandafter
