We’ve had a small streak of bad luck but I know

We’ve had a small streak of bad luck but I know that means good things are happening soon. Thanks to everyone who have been dm’ing over the last few weeks for Em and now Rob. Guess I’ll be getting pro with the power tools while we get this kitchen done. (Shot from last year but making me happy it’s almost fall)

Faux beam reveal:

As you know our kitchen has been a struggle for us as we don’t have the budget for a full layout change. So for the last 3 years, we’ve been dreaming up a way to make this alcove work with our style and this home (it has duct work, so has to stay). This beam dream came into fruition a few months ago when we started planning our the renovation and hated how the ceiling met the old trim. I love how our saw mill rough cut wood was able to perfectly blend into our 1917 home like it’s been there the whole time. Will have a blog up about the process later this week. But, for now, tell me what you think in the comments below.

With rugs all over the house, plus a big dog, having a vacuum that is a beast on pet hair is a must. We are loving our @harttoolsusa Pro Bagless Upright Vacuum! Not only does it get the dog hair off every surface of our home, but also from the carpets in our truck, which is a first for a vacuum we’ve owned. I’m starting to love a corded vacuum again! This vacuum is available at @walmartcanada online and in stores!

It’s raining, my sister, niece and nephew leave

It’s raining, my sister, niece and nephew leave to head home to Abu Dhabi tomorrow for another year, and I have all the cravings for Fall.

One of the biggest questions we’ve been getting when we share our new primary bedroom is where are all of our clothes stored? Luckily for us, this old family room, now bedroom came with built-ins. It may not be the most ideal way to store close but it’s working for us. Now to add some brass pulls to those doors 😉

BEFORE-> AFTER
Update on my parents bunk room:

last year, my mom asked for my husband and I to makeover my childhood bedroom as her birthday present. It took us a while to find the time but in the new year we started the process which mostly involved a whole bunch of paint.

Trying to redecorate a room with Covid lockdown Has definitely been a challenge and we aren’t quite finished in here but I wanted to show you guys a little before and after peak of what a difference paint and some hand me down furniture can do to a space.

School is about to be back in, so I’ve been deep

School is about to be back in, so I’ve been deep cleaning the house and bringing joy to all the corners so that when the kids come home from their long days, they come to a place to relax. I’m loving my @harttoolsusa 20V Brushless Stick Vacuum. It's super easy to charge and switch out batteries. Plus, it manoeuvres like a dream to get in all the crevices. Available exclusively at @walmartcanada!

Do you deep clean to get ready for fall?

Ok guys…it’s been a rainy cool summer here in

Ok guys…it’s been a rainy cool summer here in NS and it’s made me ready for pumpkin spice and colourful leaves. Call me basic….I’ll own it! 😉😉

In all seriousness with only 2 weeks left in August, how soon is too soon to start with the Fall decor?

Renovation zone tip: I realized that cleaning up

Renovation zone tip:

I realized that cleaning up after renovations is a full-time job of its own. Having three kids that I'm constantly worried about means I do a lot of vacuuming in the run of the day. Shop vacs are definitely great when it comes to the big stuff but we needed something ultra powerful to get all of the rest when it comes to cleaning up the mess. And, with the best dog in the world as a roommate, he likes to leave his hair EVERYWHERE! So when we found the @harttoolsusa Upright Vacuum exclusive to @walmartcanada with all its adapters for all of the people messes and dog hair messes, we knew we needed it. Don't get me wrong I love my stick vacuums, but there's just something so industrial and classic when it comes an upright.

What type of vacuum do you like, cord or cordless?

One of my favourite things during Summer is to tak

One of my favourite things during Summer is to take things slow and enjoy moments with my kids that can help keep them on the ball even without school. #ad Reading is that thing with Aubrey. He may not enjoy writing, but reading is a strong suit of his and finding great books to keep him interested is always an ongoing feat for me. We just got ’The Rock from the Sky” By @JonKlassen which is a CBC #1 bestselling kids book. He’s a Caldecott Medalist and writer of The Hat Trilogy. This book is a fun play on not only trusting your gut but also listening to friends and how they might just save you ;). Plus, I’m a sucker for good illustration. Find it wherever you shop for your books.
What do you look for in a kid’s book?

This coming Sunday it will have been three years s

This coming Sunday it will have been three years since we got the keys to our house. Three years since our lives changed for the better, giving our children a bit of stability, piece of my childhood being back in my hometown and both grandparents between six minutes and an hour away.

It also marks three years of essentially constantly living in a renovation zone. Our house was great when we purchased it, we just wanted to make it more us. But, in those three years I’ve made sure that we really value beauty of the in between. We don’t just drive through waiting for the finished product, but really take heart each step bringing us closer to our vision. I know from experience you may not want to see The messy and imperfectness of stages like this. But hell, it’s my feed and I want to remember every moment of creating the vision we have been planning for three years.

Our kitchen DOES NOT look like this right now… B

Our kitchen DOES NOT look like this right now…
But this Cassidy by @deltafaucetcan in Champagne Bronze, even in the midst of a Reno is looking like a stunning bit of eye candy, reminding me of how beautiful this kitchen is going to be when we are done. Do you love the look im our home as much as we do? #ad

Sofa story: Almost 5 years ago, shortly after pop

Sofa story:

Almost 5 years ago, shortly after poppy was born, we hunted for a sectional, Big enough to fill our large living room space in our old home as well as enough seating for our family and friends when they came to visit. We found it and it was perfect. Then, once we moved into this house the sofa obviously came with and we were shocked to find out how perfect it fit in our family room(I mean like .5 cm to big but we forced it in). Fast forward to now with only one awkwardly long and skinny living room, a gigantic sectional, and two beautiful chairs, we knew it was time to start the hunt for a new sofa. We have a long list of wants, high back, slip covered, withstand 3 kids and a dog, and not kill us if Em draws with a highlighter all over it (don’t ask 😞😞). So let the hunt begin.

What’s your dream sofa?

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

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!
