Every time I travel to Toronto, I visit my beloved Shopper's Drug Mart to check out all of the skincare. They renovated the stores years ago to include premium skincare and cosmetics brands and I love checking out all of the different lines they carry. Now don't get me wrong, I love Walgreens and CVS, but goodness, there's just something special ...
Vacation Snapshots
I'm writing a quick post to share some of my most loved photos from our trip to Toronto. We really needed a little R&R after our first year as new parents so we're glad we stayed a little longer than we usually do. Plus, I loved the extra time with Harper…though it was tough to drop her of at daycare this morning after spending so much time ...
Family…
Growing up, I was very close to my cousins. We lived down the street from each other and made a lot of childhood memories together. Harper met my cousin, his lovely wife, and my aunt and uncle recently and I loved seeing their reactions in person since they had previously only seen Harper in photos or videos. my mom and Harper before we ...
A Day at the Zoo!
I have visited the Toronto Zoo many times as a child and I was so excited to bring Kevin and Harper there. We were there for about five hours and it was a really great day excursion. Maja, Chad and their little girl Doutzen met us at the zoo and we explored all of the exhibits together. It was the perfect day! By far the highlight of the ...
A Day at the Aquarium
Toronto is such a fantastic city with great attractions and many of our friends recommended we visit the new (or new to us at least) Ripley's Aquarium which is right beside the CN Tower. Harper absolutely loved it! I was a little bit surprised at how outgoing she was at the aquarium since she's been so timid during new social situations and in ...
Birthday BBQ for Harper!
My mom and her husband hosted a birthday BBQ for Harper and we had the best time seeing our friends and many of my mom's friends. The party was really fun and it was special to see some of my closest friends meet my sweet girl for the very first time. Harper is in a phase right now where she has a tougher time warming up to new people ...
My New Summer Beauty Routine with St. Ives®
The one part of my beauty routine that has always been inconsistent is moisturizing my skin. I could never get motivated to do it daily because I hated the feeling of having lotion on my hands and having to wait for it to dry. I knew it was good for my skin so I would get into the habit of moisturizing for a few weeks and then I'd lose ...
Harper’s First Birthday- Party Pics
I posted a breakdown of Harper's first birthday party decor and DIY projects in my last post, and this post will be dedicated to sharing some of my favorite images from the day (and be warned, there are many). We were so excited that we had so many friends and family members come out to celebrate Harper, definitely felt a lot of joy and love in the ...
Harper’s First Birthday Party- Decor & DIY
We had such a blast celebrating Harper's first birthday! I was a little bit nervous hosting that many people in our home, but it turned out perfectly. We moved around some furniture and pushed our dining table (which became a dessert table) up against the window which really allowed us to create an even more open space. We also moved our ...
