Well as I’m sure most of you saw on Instagram, we are expecting!!! Our little bundle is due to arrive end of October and we couldn’t be more thrilled! This first trimester has been very different than my first trimester with Ems so I thought I would do a little first trimester update comparing the two.

Toddler Girl Threads Boutique Spring Picks
The weather around here has finally turned and it seems like warmer days are here to stay! Warm weather for me means more clothes shopping for all things springy!
Airplane Travel Toys For Toddlers
Well as you might have noticed from my last week’s posts on Instagram I have been a bit distracted around here so I am just getting around to doing more blogging again as I start to feel more normal and less tired in the second trimester!
First Easter Egg Hunt
Last year we went away around Easter weekend so we didn’t do much in terms of decor, activities or gifts for Ems. She was only 8 months old and clearly had no idea what was going on, especially not having an older sibling to watch and follow along with. This year however since she was 20 months old I decided to get into the festivities a lot more! I decorated her little kitchen area and our dining hutch, bought some crafts and completed the weekend with an egg hunt and Easter themed pancakes!
Spring Toddler Girl Lace Favourites
I’ve been busier than usual around here as we prepared to go away in March for a few weeks to Hawaii, so I haven’t done as much blogging as I would have liked to. I was hoping to post some of my resort looks for Ems before we left but since I ran out of time I decided to incorporate some of my vacation choices in my other posts. I am also hoping to post some Hawaii pics on here which will also talk about her resort wear outfit details. Since we returned from our winter vacation about a week ago, it appears that Spring decided to grace us with its wonderful, sunny and warm presence! The snow is basically all gone, our skin is still sun kissed (and slightly peeling) and we are ready to keep out our sandals, shorts, dresses and sun hats! Continue reading
Nuby Sure Grip Miracle Mat Section Bear Plate Review
I am always on the lookout for new and exciting products to try for Ems. (I think all moms probably are!) So whenever I am shopping and out and about I always wander down every baby/toddler aisle looking for new toys, accessories and feeding items. In this last month Ems has become very independent with her eating, choosing to self feed with a fork or spoon almost every meal. Anything that can make meals less messy and easier for her to self feed are great by me!
Valentine’s Baby Girl Favourites
It’s officially February! Annnnnd the only way I can make it through this cold and rather drab month is to focus on the wonderfulness of Valentine’s day!
Indigo Valentine’s Day Board Book Favourites
I have always been a big fan of ALL holidays, including the hallmark kind. Having Ems to share in the excitement of the holidays has allowed me to take it to a whole new level. Since she is almost a year and a half she’s at the age where she is really starting to learn what everything is. I find that books are the best way to teach her about the holidays, as they provide her with the opportunity to learn the various words of items that are associated with the season. It also gives me the chance to ask her to point out the new items she’s learning on the pages while we read, which brings her (and mommy) so much joy!
A Christmas Tablescape
Each Christmas Eve we host a small dinner for my immediate family. This year I was feeling bored of the simple tablescapes I had done in the past and was feeling the need to try out something new. I had been playing around with bottle brush trees and saw a picture of one in a jar on Pinterest which started my thought process on what I wanted to create.
Indigo Cozy Favourites for Christmas
Indigo is my go to place for stocking stuffer and Christmas gift ideas because they have such a range of fun items. From winter essentials like mitts, toques and scarves to fun decor items for the home, I can’t get enough of their store! I typically focus my posts on the little ones in our lives but figured today I would shift my focus to us mommas as we deserve some pampering too! And after all, ’tis the season to be pampered!
