When I was a kid, we would drive to PEI every year

When I was a kid, we would drive to PEI every year. We would leave before the sun came up and spend the most amazing vacation travelling to beaches and eating fresh Cows ice cream. Since having our own kids, we’ve only missed one year of those same Prince Edward Island vacations I had as a kid. From the Charlottetown farmers market to the Cavendish seaside and everything in between, it’s our absolute favourite place to make memories as a family. This year did not disappoint. What’s your favourite thing about PEI? I think mine is that you’re only 30 minutes from anywhere you want to go at any time. @TourismPEI #ExplorePEI #ComeFindYourIsland #ad

A dog on a front porch and a perfect seat for a quiet moment…these are the things I envisioned when I though about where I’d be when I knew I was an adult.

I’m loving those reels on when you realize you are living the life you always thought of. Because, when I sit back and look around, it’s everything AND more.

I haven’t really showed you what our old bedroom now looks like. With losing our family room to our Primary bedroom, we also lost all of the storage for the kids toys, specifically Emmitt’s.

So, with him now being in the largest room in the house we’ve converted one side for his crib (I’ll share that later) and one for a play zone with toys, Tv and our @kavuus sofa.
Ok, I know you all might be like ‘ Cream couch in the play room is a massive no-no’
but, when we got our @kavuus we actually invested in their stain protection as well as their covers being removable for easy washing. So, after a month of it in here, it still looks amazing!

Do you have a play room? #kavuusstyle #gifted

GO CANADA GO!

We are so excited to cheer our Canadian Olympians on, especially our sailing team (one of which is from our little sailing village) and of course swimming, which is the sport Rob grew
up competing in.The best part of watching our favourites compete is the snacks that come along with it. Our kids are obsessed with charcuterie boards so for the special occasion we are making a charcuterie snack board to enjoy with all of their go to snacks. Many of these came from the Team Canada Viewing Kit we were lucky enough to receive from @Sobeys.
You can win one of these kits for yourself. Head to my stories and bio for the link. Let's cheer our athletes on together!

Hydrangea season…and I’m hear for it!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Welcome to my pseudo office space while the kids are home.

The window seats sold us on this house and now I do most of my design consults from here. But I gotta ask….do we keep the window seat now that this is our Primary bedroom or do we turn this into French doors out to our backyard?

Our alcove is pretty much DONE!! This refresh sta

Our alcove is pretty much DONE!!

This refresh started back in March, where we finally ripped out our upper cabinets, re-dry walled this entire niche, and added new floating shelves Rob made from wood we sourced at a local mill. We hunted down the perfect tile and waited from then until now to finally receive it and get it up. My heart is so happy now every time I walk into this kitchen. Our kitchen is small. Smaller than most kitchens. We’ve never had the money for a full gut job as much as my heart would like one. So doing small changes slowly is making this kitchen work for our family and also sparking joy.

what’s next? We’ve placed the order for our new door and drawer fronts which I think will make a massive difference. We’ve also got enough tile to do the full wall behind our new range oven but before we can get to that point we might or might not knock down a wall and expose our original brick chimney😉. So stay along for the ride because maybe we will inspire you to love the home you are in, instead of wanting the bigger and better 😘😘😘

Omg…….WORTH THE WAIT!!! back at the end of Ma

Omg…….WORTH THE WAIT!!!

back at the end of March we took you with us as we went on a hunt for the perfect tile backsplash in our kitchen refresh. We found it, fell in love and was told it would be two months before we can get it. We decided two months would fly by which it did. But so did another two months after that until finally our tile was in. We still have lots of stages to go in the kitchen refresh, grout tomorrow, four weeks until our new door fronts arrive (note the broken door), new cabinet hardware and building a range hood cover, but man oh man did this tile re-spark my joy in this kitchen. Do you love it?

I’m itching for a big gut job…..don’t tell Rob 🙈

it’s funny. We’ve been in this house for three years next month. And I find the rooms that I love most, are the rooms that I was able to start completely from scratch to get my design juices going. Our home inspires me with every room to not only make it feel warm and cosy but to also create a new Reno into looking like it’s been there for 100 years. And yes…. I still love our bathroom almost a year after. But now that our bedroom is downstairs I almost feel like we should look into putting an extension in and turning our powder room into a full bath. Yeah….probably would cost more than I’m thinking in my head lol

#ad It is officially beach time in NS, which has to be one of the best times of the year. If you have kids and bring them to the beach, you know the number one thing to remember is to always pack enough snacks. I don’t know what it is about being at the beach but it always makes our kids hungry. We have been gravitating towards @burnbraefarms EGG Bites! as a convenient, nutritious snack to enjoy on our way out the door to eat in the car or as soon as we arrive. EGG Bites! are poppable, and protein-rich crustless mini quiches that are made with high quality eggs and ingredients that help satisfy my family's snacking needs.
What’s your go-to beach snack?

Who else has always dreamed of a smart home?
I still remember watching videos of Bill Gates controlling his entire home by his voice and being like wow I need to become rich and famous for some thing so I can have a house like that. Please tell me I'm not alone! A few years ago we started switching things over to smart devices now that the price suits the regular every day person. One thing we recently added to that is Caséta @lutronelectrics smart switches which are turning all of our floor and table lamps into smart lights. I even have them programmed so that they turn on at Sunset so I don't even have to think about it and turn off when it's bedtime. Plus I can control them with our Google home so that right there was a major selling feature. Do you have any smart lights in your home?

To my free spirited princess flower child, Poppy,

To my free spirited princess flower child, Poppy, you have made me be able to watch myself as a kid almost like I’m living it through you. Every doll, party dress, made up song, and dance party reminds me that we are of the same cloth and although people are torn if you look more like me our your daddy’s mom, what I can say is that you are the most beautiful girl inside and out and I am so happy that we will run these boys together for the rest of our lives. I love you baby girl! Happy 5th birthday!

Do you ever feel like you’ve been stuck inside for a century? #ad That’s how I’ve beenfeeling as of late with so much going on between both businesses and having Emmitt home from daycare, so this will be my new office. One thing I have realized throughout this busy season we are in is that I SUCK at snacking between meals. I mean actual good healthy snacks to keep me energized, not the kids’ leftover crackers I eat as I clean up. Please tell me I’m not alone! @burbraefarms has just
launched EGG Bites!, crustless mini quiches that are not only super easy to heat up (just 90 seconds in the microwave), but are also gluten free and full of delicious, real ingredients. They’ve helped me remember to take those much needed snacking breaks. Now tell me which flavour will you choose, Tex Mex or Pizza Deluxe?

To my first born…the one who on this day 8 years ago made me a Mom. You were meant to be first, you are the best most loving big brother and have tested every boundary to make mom and dad truly know what parenting is all about. We are so proud of how you are maturing and growing and the little man you are becoming. Happy 8th Birthday my Bubba. 😭😭😭

Slow Sunday’s…..

This room looks a lot different from when you last saw it on our feed. We are slowly getting used to the fact that we only have one family space. There’s lots in here that we are hoping to change to make it more functional for our family, but for now our four-year-old mobilia couch and makeshift layout is working pretty good.

OK guys we are a week and a half in to having our

OK guys we are a week and a half in to having our primary bedroom on the main floor. To be honest we thought this was going to be a massive and hard change for our family, but it hasn’t been. Our kids are actually sleeping throughout the night, besides not having hanging storage, this is the nicest bedroom we’ve ever had, and Rob and I have decided that now that our kids are older, primary bedrooms on the main level are a must. How do you feel about a main level bedroom?

I have to admit something…

My laundry room NEVER looks like this on any given day. But, I wish it did and looking at pictures of it like this maybe will inspire me to clean it more often….or maybe not.

If he could have 10 more kids he would. He loves the role of Daddy, and it has come so naturally since the day we found out about Aubrey. Rob, you have no idea how happy I am that you chose me to walk through this journey with. Happiest Fathers Day, we love you! @wilddecoelisphotography
