Things definitely change a lot between your first

Things definitely change a lot between your first baby and your last. One of the things in our house that I was very adamant on was homemade baby food for Aubrey. But now three babies later and a busy household, making homemade baby food is just one extra step I don’t want to stress over. We have found @heinzbynatureca is an awesome alternative, with options that are organic, easy and affordable. I’ve written an entire blog over on @todaysparent all about why we chose it for Emmitt. # ad

Before—>After

I know I’ve been posting a ton of exterior photos of our house recently but I absolutely love the transformation our house had by just a little bit of paint.

Rob and I are so excited to see this house transformed throughout the seasons, and I really wanna document what summer is like with a black house. Green trees, flowers and all. Swipe left what the before looked like. #beforeandafter #blackhouse

Ok parents, who agrees with us? With so much time

Ok parents, who agrees with us? With so much time at home, our kids are snacking
24/7!!! I have never had to fetch more snacks in my life. #SimplyProtein_Partner Lately, we’ve been turning to the @simplyproteincanada kids bars as a late morning snack to keep the kids more full with 6g of protein and 2g of sugar. PLUS, with us being a dairy- free home, we love that they are vegan, gluten-free and nut-free to that we have no tummy aches and they can be packed in lunches in the fall. Visit the link in bio to purchase! #livesimply #simplyproteincanada

Do new things spiral you into more new things? Let

Do new things spiral you into more new things? Let me give you an example of what I mean. We received this stunning new linen bedding from @magiclinen the other day and it made me want to spruce up our room ASAP, because with new linen that some times happens. So Rob and I built this Faux vintage side table that looks like a 100 year old milking bench and we LOVE it. Our key to getting it to look old is to hunt down wood on kijiji and FB market place that has been removed from renovations etc. Plus usually it’s free for the taking. We are going to have a blog next week on how we made it. It’s pretty simple if you have the tools. What do you think? #capecorncottage

You know what’s kind of weird in the life of a blogger? People know a lot about our day-to-day including when we’re home and when we’re not—thanks to documenting our entire lives on our stories. We started thinking about when we’re not at home—the problem of packages being delivered but also security for our home, to help us feel safer when we’re out and about. We went with the Ring Wi-Fi Video Doorbell 3 from @bestbuycanada at both our front and back door and are giving you a full rundown of the features and what we think so far over on the blog. Do you have any form of security at your house? # ad

We are starting early on our back to school shoppi

We are starting early on our back to school shopping again this year and with it being Poppy’s first year in Elementary school, it’s a big deal for us. We still are social distancing when we can so this year we shopped online in the safety and comfort of our own home. But, the bonus is, we shopped from the @aeroplan eStore so we could get 5x the miles on select retailers for all that we bought, like Old Navy and Indigo. From July 27 to August 9 you can too! How are you doing you’re back to school shopping this year? *ad #withAeroplan

Our little cozy corner where we have been spending

Our little cozy corner where we have been spending most of our time during this heat wave. It’s actually the perfect place with a breeze off the ocean to cool us down. Took you for a mini tour of it on stories, including the link to this rug. But you can always double tap the photo to find out the source. HAPPY LONG WEEKEND! #capecorncottage

Aubrey has a love of reading and he didn’t get that from me. I wasn’t diagnosed with
dyslexia until college, which made reading books as a kid very difficult. But I know how important it is, so we have always made sure books were a massive part of our daily
routine. Now Aubrey is such a strong reader, he’s taking over a lot of reading time in our house. Finding reads that he can relate to makes his reading more enjoyable, which in turn makes him so much more confident. We get all our books from @indigo and are excited to continue to do so. They’ve just announced that 1% of net proceeds from the sale of every baby and children’s books will go to the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation in support of children’s literacy in high needs communities across Canada. #loveofreading *ad

If you followed along on our stories last night, you would’ve seen that I did a little DIY project all by myself (Rob was there to walk me through using a few of the power tools I hadn’t used before.) That faux vintage art on our mantle is just step one of us adding a little bit of jazz to this room’s fireplace. It literally took no time at all but if you missed it, the DIY is saved under ‘diy projects’ Highlight for you. #wilddecoelisdiy

Hydrangeas are scattered around our house, and we

Hydrangeas are scattered around our house, and we planted three more bushes of them this spring. I am insanely happy about that choice right now.

But now onto house plans, as you all know we do things on budget and in order to get all of our goals for this house happening, we need to order them out in terms of what needs to happen first and then start pricing it all out so we can start saving. This kitchen is definitely high up on the list, with a stove and dishwasher We inherited from the last owners that are both on their last leg. But that brings me to a big decision when I start pricing it out, do we stick with white appliances or do we go stainless steel? Let me know in the comments.

Well, you all know how much we love these yellow c

Well, you all know how much we love these yellow curtains, but we’ve decided we need blinds with the layout of the kids room. They need to be blackout and preferably cordless. I’d love all your recommendations in the comments below for places to look? You are all the best! Xo

I’m still mildly obsessed with this quick Rug DIY. I actually wake up forgetting about it since this wall has been empty for 2 years and then quickly fall in love all over. Have you every felt that way about a space you added something to in your home? Full tutorial on the blog.

With all the black on the house, we really wanted to give a pop of colour with the front doors. So we went green. We went with @behrpaint Back To Nature #S340-4 and love how it adds such dimension to the space. We are technically in a little treehouse up on the hill, so green just seemed to suit. Head to my stories to see what the other door looks like or check out our IGTV video on the exterior transformation. ⁣
Because this is the year of indoor and outdoor transformations, we are giving away a $250 gift card with @behrpaint to Home depot to help you with your own paint projects. ⁣

Our world traveller 🌍. Emmitt had his second trip to PEI since he was born and the drive up was pretty rough. But, by the end of it, he got the hang of the car. Thank goodness because if you had anything like our childhood, road trips are where it’s at until these kids get older and covid disappears. Now I want to now, have you been to PEI? Give me a 👍🏻 in the comments if you have!

Mom and dad on vacation mode. It’s been a LONG 4

Mom and dad on vacation mode. It’s been a LONG 4 months for all of us. So, as soon as the Atlantic bubble opened up, my sisters, mom and I booked an Airbnb in PEI to fit all of us and our families. It was the best 4 days we have had in years and even though the weather wasn’t the greatest, we were all so happy together. Take the staycation if you can. It’s worth so much to stay close to home but have a change of scenery. 📸 @bradwhalenwood

We are off to PEI tomorrow for a family vacation with my sisters, mom and all our kids. It’s our first big family vacation out of hopefully many, and we are so happy that the bubble of the Atlantic provinces opened for us to be able to escape and have a change of scenery. This room, our family and playroom, I think deserves a bit of a break. #capecorncottage

Here it is!
We decided to hang it horizontal as it filled the space better and was a good contrast against the doors. This framed vintage rug DIY was inspired by the McGee and CO’s $1240 framed vintage rug, But I can’t believe we made this for less than $100. We are having a full blog up this week telling you how to make it for yourself. What do you think?

Do you love an arched mirror like I do? We had recently gotten rid of our mirror that sat here in this corner, thinking we didn’t need it. Well it lasted a month and we right away missed having a mirror on our main level. I think we chose good 😉

It’s that season again, the one where I can star

It’s that season again, the one where I can start cutting bouquets of flowers from our backyard and I love it. Plus my hydrangeas are about to kick off so please excuse the mass amounts of them you will see hidden around my feed. What is your favorite cut flower?

Another shot of the kids room. We still have things to do to this play area, like adding a neutral flat weave rug for them to be comfortable building Lego on. But, I’m also thinking of painting the IKEA toy storage the same gray as our kitchen. What do you think?
