My husband and I (and our relationship) took on a 30 week bi-weekly photo project. I was inspired by this awesome project but put a bit of my own spin on it since we travelled a bunch over my pregnancy! Today we took the last shot in the collection which covers weeks 9 to 39.
I didn’t have a baby shower so I haven’t been receiving many gifts (this is all by design, I’m kind of a minimalist). But, this means that there was no one to by me the Aden + Anais Jungle Jam swaddles, which I love as much as the next girl. I personally couldn’t justify spending
I was inspired to make these dribble/bandana bibs because my cousin’s son always looks so adorable in his! I just figured that rather than buy them, I would make them myself! Googling “DIY Dribble Bib” brought up about a zillion patterns, I chose the Bundles and Buttons one. Instead of sewing on straps or velcro
You got a bit of a sneak peak of this mobile a few days ago, but here’s the close ups! Since the baby is going to live in our room for the first several months, I wanted a mobile that we would also like to look at. I’m loving how it turned out! I don’t
The next four posts are some of my favourite DIY projects I’ve been up to for the baby. Having a baby basically gives you free realm to DIY stuff, pretty awesome! My very favourite project: my homemade Hudson’s Bay Blanket. Yup, starting in about April I learned how to knit. Because guys, it’s baby season.
Getting ready for baby! Yup, we’re having a baby of unknown gender! Baby is due February 3. I’m planning on coming back to the blog with some micro-blogging for my mom, you’re welcome to follow along for the ride!
Over a course of a week in February, our apartment went from feeling like a pretty-cool-place-that-we-lived to feeling like a home. And all that it took? 1) Hanging up our Printstagram, which I told you about in February, 2) hanging our art behind the couch, which I’ll tell you about someday soon, and 3) finding
Happy Friday friends! And hello! About a week and a half ago we wrapped our our SimpleTax’s incredibly successful first year. The next day I hopped on a plane and flew to Charlottesville for Heather and Gav’s amazing wedding. And I’m back again! Hooray!! One of the Pinterest projects that’s been on my list for
Yesterday was one of those days where you remember exactly why you moved to Vancouver. It was March 3. And this happened. On top of the fantastic weather, we were surprised that we had a bit of a “calm before the storm” (at least we hope the storm is coming) type of day. It was
In October when I posted a collage of my 365-photo-a-day challenge, my friend Melissa suggested I reward myself with a Prinstagram poster. I thought that was a fabulous idea, so I picked out 105 of my favourite Instagrams and patiently waited it’s arrival. And then I couldn’t figure out what the heck to do with
Hello! See, I told you I’d be back. So. Let’s talk about my 2013 goals . I have two. Having two goals this year is very different from thirty goals I had in my 30-before-30 project, last year. And one of this year’s two goals is private (sorry mom; it’s not have a baby). And
Hi guys! I’m back. And this time, I’m going to try to be back to stay. You may not hear from me every day, or even every week, but I’m promise that I’ll post more than once in 5 months :) Part of the reason that I’ve been completely absent from my blog is because
Well… this is awkward. So awkward that I’m not entirely sure how to start. And I always know how to start. So, let’s go with: “Hi! How are you? It’s been awhile”. And it’s true. It has been awhile. An embarrassingly long while. A since October 18th kinda while. I guess I just ran out
Hello friends! I’m sorry I’ve been remiss in posting lately. Lots of you have checked in to see if I’m ok, and I am! I’m awesome! I’m just more busy than I’ve ever been. Maybe that’s not exactly true, but I’ve certainly had a bit of an attitude change. I’ve been this busy before, but
