When you almost passed up these chairs and then go

When you almost passed up these chairs and then got them because you thought you’d have FOMO if you left them. But, you got them home and now are INLOVE! it’s the curved arms and spun leg mix for me. What do you think?

Dog days of summer… we sure love our old pup pup

Dog days of summer… we sure love our old pup pup around here. 7.5 years after adopting him as a puppy from the SPCA and we couldn’t think of like without him.

One of the biggest worries when we travel is what

One of the biggest worries when we travel is what is going on in the house. From a monitored fire alarm to a backyard camera, Eastlink Smart Home and Security has us completely covered from everywhere we roam. It’s as easy as a quick peek at our Alarm.com app to make sure that the home we leave for the day or the week will be safe and sound until we get back. For us, it’s a no brainer!

After 7 months we finally got Emmitt into the Asth

After 7 months we finally got Emmitt into the Asthma clinic. It was a good appt and we are getting some more specified testing to come, but man, with three kids all with Asthma, this has been a journey over the last 7 years since Aubrey was diagnosed.
Needless to say, coming home to fresh hydrangeas and relaxation was welcomed. Oh, and some good ol’ episodes of Mickey Mouse club house for Em.

I feel like once you become a parent, you become m

I feel like once you become a parent, you become more aware of your surroundings and you definitely worry a whole bunch more. Growing up in the small town, my parents never locked our front door and we never really worried about anything bad happening to us or our home. But after four years of owning this house and a few interesting situations, we decided to get Eastlink Smart Home & Security installed.

We love that we have easy access to the Alarm.com app so we can control everything with the tap of a button! It also allows us to monitor what’s happening in and around our home through the outdoor camera and we can lock/unlock our door remotely.

We use @eastlinkca products for everything else in our life so it was a no brainer to go with them for this. Head to the link in my bio to know more about it and how you can customize Eastlink’s Smart Home & Security for your home.

Yup, you are seeing that right, we still have yet

Yup, you are seeing that right, we still have yet to finish the drawer on our cabinet. Let’s just say summer seems to have been flat out since it started AND THATS OK! Who else is apart of the 95% club? As in you finish a project to 95% and then move on. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

I've admitted this before on here, especially bein

I've admitted this before on here, especially being a blogger and getting bullied for my grammar. I grew up very slow reader, to the point that the teachers knew to give me a bit extra time on all of my reading assignments. It wasn't until my entry level exam in college that I was diagnosed with dyslexia. When I read a book, it takes me three or four times to read one sentence before actually registering as to what it says. I tend to put extra letters into words or read them in a different order. I was always so jealous of those people who could curl up with a book and enjoy it. Over the last few years my mom started using audiobooks more and more. So, when one of my favourite designer duos released their book, I decided to test out Kobo Audiobooks. It was perfect. I can comprehend what I'm listening to right away and still get invested in each book (it can actually improve this by over 70% for struggling readers). It's now my escape when I'm cleaning the house or going for my morning walk. I'm on book 15 of the year and I've started to listen to all the trending books everyone's talking about. I get so much more out of listening to a book, then listening to music. If you are like me and want to read but struggle, @kobobooks are definitely the way to go. #thekobolife #koboaudiobooks #kobopartner

Our Poor Emmitt has gone through a lot over the last year and one of the things that developed this winter is skin issues. When dealing with dry skin, we’ve learned it’s all about what products we use. I have sworn by @cerave_canada facewash for years now so we have started to use their baby line on Emmitt. It has worked wonders! From their wash & shampoo to their moisturizers and healing ointment, it's been helping a lot with Emmitt’s skin issues, making small moments like this, memories for a lifetime. #developedwithderms # ad

My fave season is here. Also once upon a time @amberinteriors reposted this shot so I felt it was appropriate. Who loves Hydrangeas like me?

Summer is here, and with three kids, multiple camp

Summer is here, and with three kids, multiple camps and everything in between, it means some of the busiest months of our year. We brought on @hellofreshca to take the guesswork and planning out of supper so that we can spend more time hanging out with the kids and creating memories all summer long. With everything you need to create delicious recipes delivered straight to your door, it was seriously a no brainer for us. Use code 20DECOELIS for up to 20 free meals and free shipping.

We are on day 3 of summer vacation and I’m already excited for Fall, sweaters and pumpkins. Who’s with me?

Last day of school has just been dismissed and I’ve got three excited kids because not only are they free for the summer but We are about to have the busiest summer yet when it comes to cousins from around the world. I’ll just be over here smelling my roses hoping the days don’t go by too fast.

My ray of sunshine. You are bottled up joy and bring so much happiness in every day. Today you are 6 and I can’t believe how fast it has gone. To know Poppy is to love her. Your my shadow, my partner in crime and I can’t wait to watch you become the sweetest little lady around. Love you baby girl! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Swipe<—- to watch him age backwards.

9 years ago on a very rainy day at 6:56 am you came earthside and made us a family. Over the last nine years, I have been able to watch you become the biggest Hype man for everyone you know, the kindest big brother, making sure Poppy and Em are happy, even if it sacrificed your own happiness. You are to the book on everything and it keeps us in line. Honestly, I wouldn’t want you any other way. You are becoming my best friend Bubba. 😭😭😭I love you! Happy birthday!

One thing that I never take for granted as a paren

One thing that I never take for granted as a parent is knowing I have the ability to provide fresh food for my kids on a daily basis. This isn't reality for many children across Canada. We are so fortunate to have a lunch and breakfast program in our schools but unfortunately that stops during summer break. That's why Subway stepped in and created ‘Never Miss Lunch’ in support of the partnership with @FoodBanksCanada that supports local organizations like @feednovascotia. On June 22 $1 from every footlong sold will provide food for the many kids in need, in our country during summer break.

One of my favourite things about antique markets a

One of my favourite things about antique markets are to find something that was used as a utilitarian piece 100+ years ago and allow myself to imagine it in a new light. We went antiquing this weekend and found this epic artillery basket just thrown to the side in someone’s booth behind a chair. I immediately was drawn to it, picturing it in a kitchen full of tall cutting boards. Rob visualized it dawning a wall. And here we are, a day later with both our visions coming together for a perfect addition to our kitchen. What do you think?

To the absolute love of my life. We did life backw

To the absolute love of my life. We did life backwards where you became a father before anything else. You were made for it. You make these three feel protected and loved. You bring the silliness that I don’t. You are the most amazing dad and I’m so thankful that 10 years ago when we found out I was pregnant, your reaction was pure bliss and happiness. We love you, Happy fathers Day big bear. @wilddecoelisphotography hope we are old and grey together like that one photo.

Do you iron your sheets?
I will be the first to admit that we absolutely love sleeping in linen bedding. We got our first set of linen sheets a few years ago when we moved into this house and since then, all but one set of sheets we have purchased in the last four years have been linen. What I don’t like to use though, there’s an iron. I don’t even know where our ironing board is. I also don’t use flat sheet but that’s for another post. Let me know down below if you are one of those people who iron your bedding before you put it on or are like me and let The wrinkles get lived in.

Our baby boy is 3. I have to admit, today has been

Our baby boy is 3. I have to admit, today has been a bit hard to think about how our last baby is three. I remember how squishy his face was when he was first born and how we all agreed he really should’ve been called Winston after Winston Churchill. But Emmy, suits him perfectly as well. Over the last three years, we have learned so much about this sweet sweet boy. How much he loves to already tell us he loves us and then asks is directly after if it made us happy. Rob and I dream up the life he will have when he is grown and I hope with every ounce of my body that it doesn’t come too quickly. Happy Birthday my Em baby. I love you so.

Just over here having a bad case of the Mondays. At least these lilacs smell unreal. They are an instant mood boost so you’ll probably find me camped out on this little chair, determined to make my to-do list smaller.
