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. . . .

Battle of the Bounce: testing lulu’s new sports bra

May 24, 2017 By Kari Leave a Comment

If you've had a baby, chances are your body's changed. Mine has. All of my stuff is in different places. There's extra padding in some spots and stretch marks in others. Most days I feel like I'm going to pee myself, and some days I actually do. It's par for the course . . .

Dog Mom Style

I can't believe our pup Moses is almost five! Plans for his 'Fifth-Annual First Birthday' party are already underway. I'll be honest - I'm normally in workout gear to walk Moses, but every once in a while I put in a little effort, depending on where we're going. I LOVE . . .

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 . . .

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️
