This year we decided to dress up as our favourite characters in Despicable Me 2 movie. Harland has been watching "minion show" on repeat lately. He laughs at the minions and especially the purple minion which is what our daughter Oaklin decided to dress as. We had a great time gathering pieces for each of … Continue reading It’s a Despicable Halloween
I am thankful for so much; the things I hold in my arms and what I hold close to my heart. “Mama, I love you so much. You fill my heart up.” I don’t know how I got this family of mine, but boy I thank the heavens and all my lucky stars for each … Continue reading Thanksgiving
Okay mamas, this is such a cute craft idea and it gets you and your littles out of the house! Create a family leaf picture that you can keep as a keepsake or display seasonally. This one we did back in Ontario when my first three were super little. They loved hunting for leaves and … Continue reading Autumn Family Leaf Craft
We ended up getting gifted professional maternity photos, but before this, we tried taking our own pictures with our camera and tripod. They're still so special to me two years later. All you need is a tripod, timer on your phone or camera and Lightroom presets for editing. Don't be afraid to go in the … Continue reading DIY maternity photos
Harland was born in the middle of October, just before the end of summer warmth was exchanged for a welcomed cool autumn breeze. We had just moved to our small town in British Columbia that June and this girl was NOT prepared for mountain town walking. I remember being so sore walking around town, it … Continue reading Harland’s Birth Story (4th birth)

Nick and I have been married 10 years (on the 27th)! We celebrated our milestone anniversary by leaving the kids with Nana for an overnight at Ainsworth Hot Springs. We stayed in one of their new rooms overlooking the lake and mountains. They felt like mini condos and have beautiful balconies. It felt like such … Continue reading 10 year anniversary to Hot Springs
There was a time, not long ago, when I would have considered myself in the thick of motherhood. That’s not to say that my days right now aren’t full of chaos and bottomless coffees. The “thick of it” are sleepless nights of co-sleeping your baby and coercing your toddler to go back to sleep after … Continue reading What I would tell a mom in the thick of it (from a mom of four)
PAW PATROL Our kids were huge into Paw Patrol one year so we dressed up as the Paw Patrol family! The kids were Chase, Everest and Skye. Nana was Mayor Goodway holding Chickaletta (yes that's our dog in a chicken costume), Dad (Nick) was Mayor Humdinger and held our pet cat as his "kittie" and … Continue reading Family Halloween Costumes everyone will love!
A few years ago we began a tradition of having a few friends over for a Halloween party. We'd carve pumpkins and do a candy hunt inside the house! This was always so much fun especially when the cooler weather approaches, to do an autumn activity in the warmth of your home. I LOVE Halloween! … Continue reading Halloween kids party | Monsters Family Costumes
