We started making small changes on our journey to zero-waste and have already noticed big changes. Here are some tips on how to start living more sustainably.
A Very Merry (Sustainable) Christmas Gift Guide: Bathroom Edition
Whether you deck the halls the second October flips into November, or you wait until closer to the big day, the winter holidays are approaching and the gift guides are coming out. For the past few months, our family has really embraced a zero waste journey. We're nowhere close to zero waste, but we've already… Continue reading A Very Merry (Sustainable) Christmas Gift Guide: Bathroom Edition
Book Nook: Winter Edition
I love reading. Always have, always will. My kids seem to love it to, with my son requesting multiple bed time books and my daughter now starting to read some to us. It's incredible what books introduce into our lives - a more extensive vocabulary, new worlds, new ideas. In our play area I've added… Continue reading Book Nook: Winter Edition
Ebb & Flow
As with most things in life, there is a natural ebb and flow to parenthood. Sometimes the tide comes in fast and strong. The ground is washed out from under you and you find yourself treading water, looking for something to help keep you afloat. Last week was like that. Sleep was hard to come… Continue reading Ebb & Flow
To My Big Girl
My big girl, Three weeks ago we started swimming lessons and you cannot WAIT to go back again each week. You might be part fish. The only time you cry is when it was time to get out of the pool. When we picked your dad up from the train station after the first lesson,… Continue reading To My Big Girl
Some Days are Hard
Some days I gaze lovingly at my sweet, beautiful children and think, yeah, let's do this again. Let's have a third. Today was not one of those days. Some days motherhood is like slipping on a silk robe. It's soft, it's beautiful, you feel good in it. Other days, it feels like an old t-shirt,… Continue reading Some Days are Hard
October Overhaul
Spring Cleaning, meet October Overhaul. The other day a friend blogged about her progress with minimalism. She's done a capsule wardrobe, has set goals and focused on her health, and has changed to a more plant-based diet. All of this spoke to me. I've decided to try to make some changes in the following 3… Continue reading October Overhaul
Sleep, or Lack Thereof
As you may recall, not long ago I was complaining about the general lack of sleep in our house. Jack has never been a great sleeper but we were surviving on our Da Vinci-esque sleep pattern. He'd nap for about 30 minutes several times a day, longer if he was in the car or stroller… Continue reading Sleep, or Lack Thereof
Maker Mondays: My Favourite Bread Recipe
Even though I've been out of school for 5 years, labour day still brings the back to school feels. I have an urge to buy pens and notebooks and new clothing. Next year labour day will take on a whole new dimension, when my daughter will start Junior Kindergarden, and my husband and I will… Continue reading Maker Mondays: My Favourite Bread Recipe
The Quest for Sleep
One of my favourite parenting memes is the one that says "I was a perfect parent... until I had kids" because ain't that the truth. It's so easy (SO EASY!) to say with absolute certainty what you will and won't do with your children. Then you have children and sometimes doing the things you swore… Continue reading The Quest for Sleep
