I Love October
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I actually posted! My goal for the summer was to enjoy every minute of it! And in my quest to be present and enjoy everyday I just didn’t get around to posting. Learning to be present is a very difficult thing for me, so the fact that…

Summertime!
I can’t even tell you how much I love summer! We go wild and completely abandon any routine we had from the school year. Since we moved into our new house Emilia has made some neighbourhood friends and she can be found either on her bike or scooter until it gets dark. Some nights we’re…

Skin Care
Here’s part 2 of my routine. I usually do this part every night, unless I just don’t feel like it or fall asleep while putting my youngest to sleep. Once that sleep hits, it usually takes hurricane force winds to wake me up! After my shower and removal of my make up. I apply the…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Well this post has been long overdue! We’ve had a lot going on the last couple of months but I think we’re finally settled! We moved just after the New Year and I have to say I really hope we won’t be doing that again anytime soon! We were very lucky that we got two…

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!
What a whirlwind! Since the beginning of November these last two months feel like they have flown by. Here we are on Christmas Eve Eve and I’m so glad it fell on a Saturday this year. It’s nearly noon and we are still in our PJs just chilling and easing ourselves into our Holiday Festivities.…

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
For our family there are two things that mark the beginning of Christmas. Santa Train Light the Square Once we’ve enjoyed a ride on the Santa Train courtesy of the Credit Valley Explorer and watched the lighting of the tree at City Hall, we are brimming with the holiday spirit. I’ve been Christmas shopping since…
