some of my favorite foil-pressed birth announcement options on Minted I was so excited to create a birth announcement with the beautiful photos Ailee shot of Lincoln a few weeks ago. I have loved Minted for a long time now--- we used them to create our Christmas cards last year and were so pleased with the style and quality. I wanted a super ...
Our Weekend…
Has it really been four weeks since Lincoln was born? Spending five days in the hospital and having the days blend into one another for the past couple of weeks have made this time feel like it flew by in an instant. We had a super laid-back weekend. Harper has been under the weather with a little cold and we've been exhausted from a few rough ...

Recent (Target) Purchases
Dear Target: Please stop making so much cute holiday decor. I literally can't stop myself from buying Christmas stuff to add to our growing collection each year because it seems to get better and better. Their Brights Collection is totally on point this year. I saw this on Facebook the other day and I'll let you guess which one I am: I'll give ...
Our Weekend + Halloween!
I guess having a newborn makes you exhausted enough to sleep through even the most intense storms, because Friday night I squeezed in every bit of shut-eye I could between feedings, all while a massive storm passed through our city. Our street flooded twice Saturday, but thankfully both times the water receded. It was all the way up to nearly the ...
Lincoln Grey: Newborn Photos
A couple of months before Lincoln was born, I contacted Ailee from Snapshots by Ailee Petrovic to book her for our newborn and family photos (you can also check out her blog, here). A lot of my friends have used her for photos and I absolutely love her work and how bright, crisp and clean her images are. Lincoln was awake for most of our session ...
Four Tips When You’re Building a New Home
Building a new home is an exciting (albeit stressful) experience, and with so many choices to make, it's easy to become overwhelmed. We had a pretty great experience building our new home, so I thought I would share some things I found to be helpful when going through the process. I will add the disclaimer that our builder was very flexible and ...
Our Weekend + GAP No Exclusions 40% Off Sale Picks
I hope your weekend was amazing! My mom left to go back to Toronto yesterday afternoon and we spent a rainy Sunday at home. This upcoming week will be my first week since Lincoln was born where I'll be alone while Kevin is at work and Harper is at daycare. I was so fortunate to have help from family members on both sides for the past two weeks ...
Lincoln Grey: A Birth Story
Our son, Lincoln Grey, joined our family unexpectedly on October 10th, just six days before my scheduled C-section, at 38 weeks and three days. Today was his due date! He had been breech for most of my pregnancy and though I was disappointed that my fluid levels weren't high enough for my OB to attempt an external version, I just wanted him to be ...
Recent Purchases…
With moving into our new home recently, the shopping focus has definitely been on the pieces we still need to furnish our new space. But I did pick up a few things for myself, Harper and baby brother recently so I thought I'd share those items here! I'm about to go on maternity leave so I stocked up on some beauty essentials I ran out of recently. ...
