Baby steps, y'all, I know. Parents are hard to shop for because all they want is love from their grandchildren and grand-fur-babies -- or so they CLAIM -- and they insist that we save our money and don't spend it on something as frivolous as them. The good news is, if you want to buy … Continue reading 12 Days of Giftmas: 10 tech gift ideas for the Boomer (grand)parent in your life

Baby Shower Must-Have: Netflix and Milk free printable
Travis' cousin had her baby shower this weekend (she's the cutest preggo ever!), and I wanted to make her something that was both useful and funny. I figured that doing a play on "Netflix and Chill" would be a hit since we have a similar sense of humour. Since there's no "chill" (of any kind, let's … Continue reading Baby Shower Must-Have: Netflix and Milk free printable
Dressing my mom bod with Pink Blush
Full disclosure: this is a sponsored post, but all writing, experiences, and opinions are my own. Fashion has always been an important part of my identity. For me, clothes are a combination of function and expression. As a breastfeeding parent, function is extra important; everything I wear has to be breastfeeding-friendly, and I have to … Continue reading Dressing my mom bod with Pink Blush
Back to School: Mom got Schooled
The first week of school is officially over, which means that the back-to-school clothes that were bought last month have been affectionately (lol jk) tossed into the laundry basket, most kids know who their teachers are going to be for the duration of the year, and 98% of people who are -- or regularly come … Continue reading Back to School: Mom got Schooled
NICU Awareness Month: Isla’s first annual NICU fundraiser
September is NICU Awareness Month! As the Mama of a little NICU grad, there's nothing I want more than people to be aware of the strength and resilience of NICU nurses and doctors, and of course, NICU babies. Neonatal care is no joke; the humans that NICU medical teams look after are so tiny, and … Continue reading NICU Awareness Month: Isla’s first annual NICU fundraiser
Mint & Birch
It happens to be Mint & Birch's sixth birthday, so what better time is there to talk about this incredible jewellery company? (Happy birthday, M&B! Congrats, Jess!) I originally came across Mint & Birch in late 2016 or early 2017 on Instagram. I absolutely loved the necklaces, so when Travis asked me what I wanted … Continue reading Mint & Birch
What I wore: ready for fall
IT'S ALMOST SEPTEMBER and I don't know if you've heard, but I'm a big fan of autumn for several reasons: HALLOWEEN (I love it; costumes are my jam) hot chocolate (of the vegan variety because allergies) rainy, cool weather (this is honestly gross weather right now, call me when September ends) anniversary time and husby's … Continue reading What I wore: ready for fall
Milkin’ it: World Breastfeeding Week and my breastfeeding journey
It's World Breastfeeding Week, which means that it's time to get real about boobs. Also, there's going to be some inevitable CoVeR yOuRsElF uP comments, and I'm not here for it. Until you eat your dinner with a blanket over your head, or have breakfast while seated on the toilet, stop trying to dictate where … Continue reading Milkin’ it: World Breastfeeding Week and my breastfeeding journey

Tourist in our own town: Krause Berry Farms
We love to visit farms, and hope to eventually -- once our subdivision goes through and our house is built -- have our own hobby farm. In the meantime, checking out local farms is always berry (hehe) fun! In late June, William, Isla, and I went with some friends to Duft & Co. Bakehouse (10/10 … Continue reading Tourist in our own town: Krause Berry Farms
