It's no surprise that for Oaklin's 5th birthday we of course did a horse theme! Every year has been all about horses and somehow we have been making each year a unique theme. Farm horses, Spirit Horse and this year Cowgirl! We are so thankful for everyone who made this year so special! This was … Continue reading Oaklin’s 5th Cowgirl Birthday Party- in the Park
Decorating a photography studio
Tara, an incredible family photographer, wanted to elevate her photography space. She wanted a peaceful place for parents, babies and children to enjoy while getting their photos taken. Often parents or big siblings have to hang out a little while Tara snaps a few of the newborn baby. While they wait, she wanted a space … Continue reading Decorating a photography studio

Our (realistic) basement playroom
Our basement is a fun space for the kids to hang out in, watch movies and play with toys. It also holds our washer/dryer, work out equipment and an extra bedroom (nana's room when she visits). This space needs to be functional and inviting for little ones. Open shelving keeps toys and puzzles organized and … Continue reading Our (realistic) basement playroom
The big kids shared bedroom
Our three kids Paxton (7), Larkin (6) and Oaklin (almost 5) wanted to have one shared bedroom. We're currently in a 3 bedroom home so when our kids asked if they could share a room we decided it would work out really well to transition Harland (18 months) out of the master bedroom and into … Continue reading The big kids shared bedroom

This was really hard for me, but clearly not for him. He handled the change like a champ and is now sleeping through the … Continue reading Our Master Bedroom (mini) Makeover

Is there anything cuter than a toddler with a diaper tush?! I can't get over how much he's changed lately. A post bath tickle time on my bed made for a good photo opportunity to document this stage of life with my boy. Let this inspire you to do the same with your little! Mamas, … Continue reading Harland 19 months
Our Master Bathroom Refresh
We moved to British Columbia almost two years ago this June! We moved in to our rental and very soon after my husband began his new job (three days after moving!), we had our fourth baby and the kids started a new school. We pretty much got here and moved in with lightening speed. Now … Continue reading Our Master Bathroom Refresh
