I love exploring new places with our little man. Wyatt and I ventured out to The Art of Cake in Edmonton's Brewery District. When you come visit our city, you should stop here! Custom cakes, cupcakes, and cookies and more. We popped in shortly before supper which makes . . .

#InstaStyle Recap

August 24, 2017 By Kari 1 Comment

We're in transition time. Instagram seems to be a mix of summer looks and fall inspiration. On one hand I'm excited about big sweaters and Pumpkin Spice Lattes and on the other, I'm still rockin' shorts and t-shirts and squeezing in as much time at the beach as I can. . . .

Happy Wednesday, friends! Can you believe it's August already? We spent this last week celebrating my 36th birthday and our son Wyatt's second birthday! (Our birthdays are a day apart.)  I still can't believe he's two. He's talking SO much and loves to make people laugh. . . .

Our Summer!

June 1, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

I'm so looking forward to this summer with Wyatt. He's at such a fun age (almost two!) and very active, so we have big plans to be on the go. We get asked all the time when we're going to have more kids. To be honest, we're excited (and terrified) at the thought of it, but . . .

10 Things I’ve Learned About Motherhood

May 11, 2017 By Kari 6 Comments

With Mother's Day just around the corner, I find myself not only reflecting on how much I adore my little boy (I'm a sappy mess this time of year), but also thinking about motherhood and the expectations I had going in. 10 Things I've Learned About Motherhood (so far) 1. . . .

Shades of Green

March 17, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

The colour green is a constant in our family life. Not only is it one of my favourite colours to wear, but green is the main colour of Wyatt's room, and was the feature colour at our wedding. You get it: we love green! So, in honour of St. Patrick's Day, I thought it . . .

February 8, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

There are way too many cute toddler clothing options for Valentine's Day! I tried to not go overboard because it really is only one day...and my Visa is still recovering from a major workout at Christmas. While shopping, I found that most items in the "Valentine's Day" . . .

Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 ... but seriously? 

Actually listened to the lyrics while Miss. Rachel was on.🙈 Side note- i love her.

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.

🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a frien 🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a friend who could use some laundry help. 🤗

➡️ Do you hate laundry? Love it? I love washing and hanging. My husband is definitely better at folding. ❤️

Tip 1️⃣ has been a game-changer. Fresh laundry and no stinky clothes that have been sitting too long. I schedule mine to end when our baby naps so I can get to it right away. 

Tip 2️⃣ if you want wrinkle-free clothes that don't wear down as quickly - take your clothes from the wash and throw in the dryer for 5-8 mins only and then hang to dry. I do this for everything but stuff that is workout pant or bathing suit material (that goes straight on the rack).

The little time on the dryer is just enough to take the wrinkles out without shrinking or compromising the longevity of your items.

Towels, blankets, and sheets do go in the dryer for a full round. 

Did this help?
