This aunt life is the best. I seriously could snuggle this guy for hours and hours and hours. He’s just the most precious tiny human on the planet. Also, toques and oversized cardigans are definitely my thing right now. I could live in them forever and ever and ever. Or at least until laundry day […]

I am far from good at sewing. My mom once made my sister’s grade eight graduation dress. I stood in awe at the fact she was capable of making something so awesome. I tried to use her ancient singer for years. It hated me. Never once did it co-operate. A few weeks ago, I attempted […]

I’m officially Auntie B!!! Baby Anthony made his debut early in the morning on February 15th! Its hard to believe that just twenty-four hours earlier, I was posting about getting ready for Baby A’s debut. Little did I know my sister’s labour had already begun. It’s a well-known fact in my family that my sister’s […]

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to do my first official winter maternity photoshoot! I’ve taken some photography classes in college, did multiple fun photoshoots with my friend Sam, and would rather be behind the camera than in front. Photography is definitely something you’ll be seeing more, especially once little Anthony is born! With my […]

A new year always is a great time for a new beginning. Or in my case, a great time to learn to crochet. This past New Year’s Eve was probably one of my most memorable ones yet. I spent the evening with my sister and mom. We stayed in, watched movies, and in my case, […]

Learning to crochet

Back in November, the women of my family traveled from three different places and met up in Maui for a week of paradise and celebrating my mom’s birthday. Maui has such a diverse geography. Rainforests, volcanoes, and ocean fronts. It was truly beautiful. One of the only things on my to-do list for this vacation was […]

First time surfing in Maui

I was incredibly fortunate this past year to do quite a bit of traveling. It started with the most memorable road trip with my dear friend Sylvia, across the country. The paradise that is Maui with the women of my family. And the most exciting trip of all, 10 days in England, with my mom […]

This year, I’m determined to accomplish the list of goals! I’ve got my blog started, and I’ve written a new list. Though I only have 6 months to complete the remainder of this list (as my 25th birthday is on July 18th!), I’m super excited to get started!

Here we go! Without much planned, organized, or the most perfect brand developed, I have officially launched my blog! Why you ask, do you launch a barely started blog? For me, it’s simple. I’ve wanted to start a blog for quite a while now. I’ve even written quite a few first blog posts before in […]

the beginning.
