Back to Routine The first week back to school always feels like someone shook our whole house and said, “Okay, now reorganize everything.” I have bins filled with junk in every part of the house, needing sorting. We are back to routines, or at least attempting to be. Lunches are being packed even though I…

Grateful Sunday: Starting the Year with Gratitude
The first Grateful Sunday of the year feels like a natural place to pause. The start of a new year often comes with pressure to reset, plan, and improve. Instead, I want to begin this year by acknowledging what I’m grateful for and setting a steady tone for the months ahead. Gratitude helps me approach…
Grateful Sunday: A Christmas Recap, Just as It Was
Christmas has come and gone, and if I’m honest, the quiet that follows always catches me a little off guard. It’s our first Christmas as a family of 6, and the very first time in 20 years that I’ve known Demo that we are spending it without Grandma “with the white hair.” The lights are…
Grateful Sunday: Last Day of NaBloPoMo Reflection
Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo and I can hardly believe I made it through thirty days of posting. When I started, I knew it would be challenging, but I did not realize just how much I would have to push myself. Writing every single day while juggling motherhood, home life, and everything in…
Grateful Sunday: A Quick Check In and a Few Favorites From November
Thirty days of blogging sounded simple when I first committed to it. Write every day. Share something from the heart. Stay consistent. In my head, it felt doable. But here I am, deep into this challenge, and I can honestly say it has been stressful. Life has been busy on its own and adding daily…
Grateful Sunday: Making Space for What Matters
This week has been a whirlwind. I’ve been on a mission to declutter and somehow that turned into a full-on marathon of sorting, tossing, organizing, and asking myself why on earth we own so many tiny, tiny things. If you’ve ever cleaned a kid’s room, you know exactly what I mean. You move one pile…
Grateful Sunday: November Family Traditions to Start This Year
November always feels like a gentle pause before the full holiday rush. The air gets colder, the evenings come earlier, and suddenly we’re all indoors a little more. Slowing down, cooking more, and spending time together in ways that feel extra cozy. It’s the perfect month to build small traditions that your family can look…
Grateful Sunday: Things Bringing Me Joy Right Now
Hi friends! Lately, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to get caught up in what’s next: the next task, next meal, following email, the next gig. But joy isn’t waiting for us in the “next.” It’s hiding in the middle of the chaos, if we stop long enough to notice. Today is Sunday,…
Grateful Sunday: Our Visit to Bunny House MTL
A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and I spent the day exploring Montréal. We had high tea and stopped at this super cute spot, Bunny House MTL. I’d been seeing it pop up online, and they recently invited me to check them out in person. Since I had planned on being in Montreal, I…
Grateful Sunday: A Fun Day with Nintendo Canada
Last Thursday, I had the chance to attend a super fun event hosted by Nintendo Canada and PR-firm Julie Gagnon Communications at the beautiful Hôtel Bonaventure in Montréal. Nintendo kicked off the holiday season early with a celebration where families got to try out some of the most popular games on the brand-new Nintendo Switch 2 system. Grateful Sunday: A…
Grateful Sunday: High Tea at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth
Happy Sunday, friends! Took a short trip to Montreal this weekend and had such a lovely afternoon at Rosélys, inside the beautiful Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth.

Grateful Sunday: A Long-Awaited Return
It’s been a while, over a couple of years, since my last Grateful Sunday post, and so much has happened in that time. Life, as always, has been full of highs and lows, lessons and surprises, and moments of beauty and heartbreak. Grateful Sunday: A Long-Awaited Return I’m so grateful to finally share a little…
Grateful Sunday: Tomato Harvest From Our Garden
We are officially in our 7th year of having our garden. I can honestly say that it’s been a learning experience. After three failed attempts at growing corn, I think Demo is finally going to put that fantasy to rest. lol, I hope! This year we planted a lot of tomatoes and after a weeks…
Grateful Sunday: Soaking Up The Sun At the Water Park
With summer vacations ending soon, my little crew is trying to soak up the sun as much as possible. One of the fun activities that we finally got to do as a family of five was visiting our local water park—sharing a few photos we took that day. Soaking Up The Sun At the Water…
