Ok, ok. It’s not a bar. It’s my house. But! What happens if those things walk into a house together? (Let’s be honest, they don’t walk – they arrive in my mailbox and I bring them inside with glee, but let’s run with this little joke, shall we?) Well, they become COVID faves. My very best […]

Do I dare say that it is starting to feel like a semi-normal state around here again? Yes, things are still very different. No indoor playdates, no restaurant dining, masks all the time and so much time at home. We’re still being extremely careful, but, once summer break hit and once I was able to […]

It was the last week of June 2011 and I was approximately 8 million weeks pregnant. (Or 37 weeks…but, I swear her head felt like a 10 lb bowling ball that was seconds away from dropping out of my body, so it felt like 8 million weeks.). It was a sweltering day and I’d been sitting in my […]

Camping season is finally upon us! We headed out for the first time this past weekend and after being in our home for the past 12 weeks, driving just a few hours north felt like a major vacation. New trails! New ice cream shack! New sunrise to wake up to! It was magical. We’ve camped […]

For years I’ve photographed my family daily, but as my girls grow, my daily shooting as slowed. They spend more time away from me and more time with their friends, which […]

Ok, so we’re all home and we’re all creating day after day, after day! Crafts and drawing and paper airplanes and paper houses. It’s all great and is keeping us occupied with our kids, but also, it can become OVERWHELMING! If your house is anything like mine, the paper and miscellaneous craft junk is overtaking […]

Every single year February and March roll around and before I know it, I’m having to think about booking camping sites and summer camps for the kids. It’s hard to do while we’re still in the depths of winter, but the reality is that if you wait too long, the good summer camps for the […]

That was the question I asked myself. I’ve done projects in the past where I try to find a tiny slice of beauty during the pre-dinner hour. But in the morning? Before school? That’s the definition of crazy around our house. I’m still drinking coffee. The kids can take a while waking up. The light […]

I love a good #momhack. Little things that can just make your life that much easier. You too? I’m all too well acquainted with the chaos that can come with kids, so here are a few of my favourite tricks to make life just a tiny bit less crazy (because let’s be honest here, it’s always going […]

A few weeks ago we got back from an amazing trip to Disneyland with our girls. We’d planned the trip for months and months and we all had an even better time than we thought we would! Our girls are 4 & 7 and it felt like the perfect age as they were big enough […]
