Who doesn’t love coffee? Who doesn’t use it? Mamas, Papas, students, teachers, world leaders. We all run our separate worlds with the strength of a good cup o’ joe. Ever seen Gilmore Girls? For those of you who haven’t i’ll fill you in on one of the most important details. . . Lorelai […]
Newborns don’t need much. Honestly. I may be a minimalist but even if you aren’t, newborns are. Although they don’t need a lot to be happy – a full tummy, clean diaper, and sleep – there are some things that make it easier to keep them on the sunny side. Of course every baby […]
I was nine days late on Thursday. Friday I was supposed to get induced. That was awful. . . Being nine days late with the summer heat cooking our part of the earth with the added bonus of being completely uncomfortable and living with constant pain is not something I would wish upon any of […]
HELLO FULL TERM!!! I would love to say that it feels good to be full term. . . But I would be lying. . . Full term is not a feel good time. Yes, baby is so close to being in our arms, and that is very exciting! BUT – I feel anything […]
Making the commitment to shop ethically can be a challenge just for yourself. Shopping ethically for your kids is a lot harder! Buying locally made, or sweatshop free clothing alone can be a big challenge and also very pricey. When you buy a product that wasn’t made by human beings who work for barely […]
This is for all the Mama’s Have you ever asked a pregnant woman, or a mother with a newborn how her pregnancy and/or delivery was? Did she respond with “Fine!”, or “Good!”? Perhaps something along those lines? How many Mamas have responded to that question with complete honesty? In my personal experience, almost […]
Collab | SarahTherese When I was in my early teens. . . I spent my Sunday afternoons with my siblings and our main group of friends. We would without fail every week walk to the local mall and grab food, and then shop at the same stores over and over again. Now being […]
THIRD TRIMESTER!!! Exciting things have happened in the past six weeks! And my goodness have those weeks flown by. I only have 12 weeks to go! Still no development in preparation for the little one. And my crazy dreams have gone away for the most part (oh great now they are gonna come back). […]
When I first started getting my baby bump I was excited for so many reasons! I always thought pregnant women were gorgeous with their beautiful bellies of all shapes and sizes and couldn’t wait to have one of my own! A growing bump was a constant encouragement and assurance to me in my first […]
OVER HALF WAY! We are always told that pregnancy is nine months long but also forty weeks. . . Which is technically ten months. . . So why do we say nine months? Maybe because you don’t usually find out till a month in and then you have nine months left in your ten […]
Who doesn’t like a good cup of coffee? When I was a kid I didn’t understand why “grown ups” liked that bitter taste. Fast forward to being in my late teens, a sweet specialty coffee was delicious to me! Zoom ahead again to today. While I like my occasional white chocolate mocha, a good ole […]
Weddings. . . Anyone else notice that most weddings happen in the Spring and Summer? Of course it makes sense! The weather is beautiful, flowers in full bloom, and so many locations to pick from! Maybe you are planning a wedding this year; or will be sometime in the future! Even if you aren’t […]
FINALLY!!! Let me tell you something. . . It is one of the hardest things in the world to keep the baby growing in you a secret. You know you should wait till your second trimester in order to share the grand news, but every time you see your family or friends you want […]
There are certain things that I think everyone should make time for during their lifetime. . . After returning back home from touring and tasting wines for a whole week in the beautiful Okanagan, right outside our back door here in Canada, this type of vacation was immediately added to that list. It […]
