This past weekend we spent exploring more of where we live. If you don't know I live in Surrey BC with my husband and two kiddos. We spent a couple of hours exploring this great museum and all of Surrey's rich history. This museum had so much to offer, a part of museum is dedicated to Surrey's rich history from its first Peoples to settler communities, urban development, transportation, logging, farming and home life. Artifacts and images reach right up to the gallery ceilin

The ABC kids expo is like any mama's dream to go to. It's literally just baby items gallore. It's been a long time dream of mine to have my very own children's boutique and still working on towards this goal. Slowly but surely I'll get there. But for now I'm doing lots of research, looking for the right space to buy and put up my baby store. Through my research years back, I'd come across this ABC kids expo and I always look forward to this expo. I will be sharing some great

And if your like me someone who gets itchy for the costumy halloween outfits than these options I have found are definitely up your alley. Like this comfy but still dark/halloween sweater and ofcourse rocking a comfy onsie like the panda or leopard one above keep

Whatever stage you’re at (whether you’ve just found out you're pregnant, or you’ve got a toddler running around) we know that it can be daunting knowing how to keep your child safe. And nothing is more scary (or confusing) than buying a car seat, especially when so much can go wrong. That’s why we’ve put together some top tips on how to buy a car seat: Do you know how much your child weighs? Car seats are grouped by the child’s weight. Age is an indicator, but for maximum sa

No one ever tells you how truly selfless it is to be a mom. Sure they tell you how amazing motherhood is and how it's changed your life for the better, but what they don't tell you is how your never going to the bathroom alone, your bed is no longer yours or that most of your meals are the kiddos leftovers. Now I don't want to scare you off and have you think okay motherhood sucks, it's true motherhood is so amazing. It has truly changed my life and not to sound like a cliche

Now that we're back into full swing of school and fall weather is in full effect, my mama uniform has definitely shifted a bit. Goodbye to easy summer dresses or throwing on shorts and tank tops (insert sad face) now it's all about layers without looking bulky and still trying to look semi-put together. I wanted to share some things that have really helped with the ease of putting together an effortless no brainer mom uniform. Without having to wear sweatpants and oversized s

Now that we've been back to school for a few weeks and getting back into the routine for the school year. I wanted to share some really great school lunch ideas that I found on pinterest that have been really successful. Before I start I want to share that school lunches are the hardest parts for me and especially having a picky eater to make lunch for makes it even worse. I don't know if it's just my little girl or what but she has a thing about the texture of foods, so it'

When I was pregnant with baby number one, I immediately started looking/researching for stroller and I also looked at the options if the strollers could convert to a double stroller because I knew we wanted more babies in the future. After lots of research I had narrowed it down to a handful. I knew I didn't wanted the typical large double stroller (you knew the two seats next to eachother) and I wanted to be able to fit through doors so that helped with narrowing down my lis

That saying really runs true especially for a busy mom to be able to relax, renew, restore and recharge to be the best mom I can be. In a previous post I talked about my skincare routine and using all nautral products. but it the past couple of weeks, my skin has gone crazy and I started breaking out even more so I wanted to share my new tweaked routine that has really started to change my skin. A little bit about my skin I have extremely dry sensitive skin, if I use any new

Ever since I was pregnant with my little girl, I became obsessed with diaper bags. I found some great diaper bags that you should take a look at. All the diaper bags have different styles, durable and don't look like diaper bags at all. Skip hop has so many great options. They literally have styles for every mama. Just keep in mind when your purchasing your diaper bag that it suits for style, don't just buy it because all the other moms have it, but buy that bag because you k

1. First tip is to look for bottoms that have lots of stretch because even after you loose the baby weight, you can still rock those amazing pants because of all the stretch it'll still mold to your body. Another awesome tip, look for pants with elastic waist bands, so they don't dig into your stomach especially after having baby, you want the stomach area to be comfy. Especially now with joggers, jeggings, pajama type bottoms and leggings are trendy you can rock it for a whi

Working out has never been something that I would priority on, well okay let's be honest working out doesn't make it on my to do list for the day. But recently I had gotten really sick (hospitalized sick) that made me really rethink my whole lifestyle. Albeit eating healthy for myself and my family has always been important. I made it a priority to cook/prepare healthy foods for my family. I never for a second thought about fitness being important. But now more than ever besi

Note: The pictures above, the one on the left you may not notice, but I see a tired, juggling pumping/breastfeeding (because little man was having so much trouble keeping milk down, he was colicky till about 14 months) puffy faced mama, still trying to loose the baby weight, trying to figure out how to care for two kiddos and feeling so overwhelmed. Now the picture on the right, this mama is starting to feel like herself again, almost lost all the baby weight, feeling confide

After going off maternity leave and trying to decide what was the best option for my family. Through family discussions I decided to stay home for an extra couple of months helping with my husbands business. And through those months I wanted to share some great strategies that helped tips I have found that have helped with being a work from home mama. 1. The number one thing that worked was to always wake up before everyone. So I could get my things together before everyone e

Ever since having my second baby I have been struggling with post-partum acne. Although it's been two years since having the little guy, my hormones and skin haven't gone back to normal (my pregnancy). And especially with breastfeeding I was looking for the most organic or natural things to use so not to interfere with baby. I have tried so many and I think I have found the right skincare routine for me. I started using the Burt's bees skincare line that's specifically for ac

I cannot believe how quickly this summer has gone by and school is starting in just a few weeks. I will be sharing some great back to school essentials that will endure the school year. The first on this list would have to be backpacks that will endure those little hands pulling/grabbing at the bag without it ripping half way through the school year. Believe me I have tried lots and sure enough somehow my little girls backpack either rips at the straps or something else start
