I have been on a rose gold kick lately and can’t seem to get enough of it in jewelry, home decor and now accessories! These rose gold wireless headphones by Sudio Sweden are absolutely stunning! Even the packaging they come in is perfect. I got them just in time to use for our trip to NYC back in September. Headphones are a must for me when flying as they block out all the airplane noise and the other travellers around me. When travelling, I like to zone out and relax and listening to music allows me to do just that! Continue reading

Black Friday Baby Girl Favourites
Since Canada has more recently jumped on the Black Friday bandwagon, us Canadians now have the opportunity to buy lots of items at great discounts just like our American friends before the Christmas holidays! For me, this means gift giving (one for me, one for you mentality) and of course baby girl clothes shopping! Continue reading
Baby Girl Threads Boutique Winter Favourites
Although this November weather has been absolutely amazing the reality is winter is just around the corner, whether we like it or not! So, even though the snow hasn’t hit the ground here quite yet, I figured it was time to start gathering my winter favourites for not only baby girl but also for toddler girl. Because the reality also is my little girl is no longer a baby! You might notice that the blush pinks, greys and whites have carried over from my fall picks and made there way into my winter ones. They are still my faves and aren’t colours that I plan on giving up on anytime soon! Today’s winter favourite picks post is from an adorable online boutique called Threads Boutique based out of Vancouver, Canada.
DONUT think you can’t make this on your own!
This Halloween I was really struggling with what I wanted Ems to be. I had a few ideas in mind but had expected her to be walking, so I didn’t feel the ones I had in mind were appropriate for where she was developmentally. I wanted to make sure that she was able to sit comfortably if that was how she chose to spend the majority of her evening. It turns out that she started to walk confidently right before Halloween but I didnt know for sure at the time how well she would be able to walk, especially wearing a costume! Since we already owned the “little donut” shoes from Joe Fresh and had the donut rattle laying around from when she was a bit younger, a donut costume seemed like an easy costume to start to create.
Pumpkin Patchin’ It
A couple of weekends ago the weather was beautiful, sunny and Saturday ended up being a perfect fall day so we decided to take the trip to a local pumpkin farm. This isn’t something I had done when I was growing up but I knew that once I had kids of my own it was something I wanted to do with them. Continue reading
Bow Week | Shop #4 | Petite Prairie
Lastly, to round up Bow Week I am featuring a company that’s from right here in Winnipeg, Petite Prairie Kids. Katelyn is the face behind the company and has a little girl of her own so she definitely has experience in the bow department! What’s unique about Petite Prairie is that they not only make bows for your little girls but they also make bowties for your little boys! They also specialize in these gender neutral cute wild prairie child onesies, pom pom toques (perfect for fall!) and lace kimonos for both babes and mommas! Who doesn’t love to twin?! I know I’m guilty of it almost everyday.. ! 😉
Bow Week | Shop #3 | Arrow & Lace Designs
The third shop I am featuring for Bow Week is called Arrow & Lace Designs! Another bow company that I came across while I was pregnant. When I found them I had originally purchased their LOVE headband to use for Emsley’s newborn photos but once I discovered they had other styles of bows I was instantly hooked! Continue reading
Bow Week | Shop #2 | VONBON
The second shop I’m featuring for Bow Week is called VONBON. Not only do they make super comfy headband bows but they also make a huge range of cute kids clothing! Shop owner Jennifer just released her fall collection and I am seriously crushing on this new floral print. They also make some really adorable baby blankets. I purchased one in an older style before Ems was born and it’s the perfect weight for everyday use.
Bow Week | Shop #1 | Elle Bowtique
One of the most asked questions I get on social media is where I get Emsley’s bows from. You might notice that I very rarely post a picture of her on Instagram without a bow on her head because honestly, she is always wearing one! She has recently learnt how to put them on herself so that has also been working in my bow-wearing favour! Since we found out that our little pumpkin was going to be a girl at 20 weeks pregnant, I made it my mission to find the best bows I could for her. We have collected our fair share of bows since then and after getting the chance to try them all out over this past year I feel like I can finally share my favourites!
Each day this week I will be sharing one of my favourite small shops who make bows, because I have never actually purchased a bow from a large company store. Etsy and Instagram have been my world to find the best made bows for Emsley!
A Thanksgiving Tablescape
Last year we hosted our first Thanksgiving dinner at our house. We had never prepared a turkey before last year but since we had figured it out then, we decided that we could do it again! My husband is a great cook and is always willing to take on the majority of the cooking which allows me to really enjoy the decorating. When I created my Thanksgiving tablescape last year, I shared it on here so I decided to share this years too! Continue reading
