Self-care is a buzzword right now. Countless articles and Instagram posts I’ve seen circulating the internet in the New Year have talked about the importance of self-care. The thing is, I keep seeing photos of women having bubble baths with wine, or getting their nails done. I get it. These things are great ways to […]
“In a world where you can be anything, be kind” You know how they say you should live without regrets. The thing is, I do have some regrets, and when I think about the things in my life I do regret, it always involves the times when I was a child and I didn’t choose… […]
Being my boldest, most confident self in life and business is one of my top values. I get SO excited when it comes to doing the work it takes to feel really good within! Although this hasn’t always been the case. I used to avoid any type of uncomfortable personal growth because it isn’t easy, but […]
When my husband and I went on a date night at Parq Vancouver to kick off the new year kid-free at the end of December I suggested to my sister perhaps she may like to celebrate her thirtieth birthday here. (You can read about our ultimate date night here.) My sister loved the idea and decided […]
Instagram is probably one of the most used apps on my phone. I love sharing my personal/family life adventures, as well as blog stuff, events I attend, brands I’m working with, inspirational quotes and more.

The thunder made me feel ashamed, embarrassed, inadequate and worthless. Was the thunder aware of the impact it had? Did the thunder realize when it […]
In 2017 I styled the inside of my life with Netflix. I honestly used to be that person, (the one who refused to binge watch anything) because I thought it was a waste of time. And then I watched a few series, and documentaries and realized they weren’t just time wasters. In fact, it was […]
This post was written for the Mama Diary series in collaboration with Modern Fort last year. I haven’t felt the way I felt when I wrote this diary entry for a while. In fact, I think it’s because I’ve been exercising again! It’s amazing how beneficial exercise can be for not only our physical well-being […]
New Year, New View: How you don’t have to change anything except maybe how you see yourself The New Year has become a time when we review the past year and dream about the year coming up- celebrating what has gone and what is to come. But somehow this long-standing tradition has become […]
I was always an avid reader when I was a child. I loved anything that took me on an escape from reality. In grade 5, I read Bridge To Terabithia. This book was about friendship and death, and it was complex, to say the least. I still have my novel study notebook from grade five. […]
