It’s not just me… {Wordless Wednesday}

The thing with having a boy with *surfer hair* is that it can quickly become a bit too long and need to be trimmed. I can’t lie, I LOVE Jonah’s hair long and think it totally suits him – something I get a lot of grief about. But it’s not just me…

Can you see the tear?

I took  him for a hair trim Monday morning – and he SOBBED the entire time. Continue reading

My Favorite Things To Build Memories #Hasbronews #fishertoys #thestep2company

You might remember THIS post where I talked {for the hundredth time lol} about how much I love holidays – and why. And how I really love the idea of putting them as one of our family and financial priorities, instead of on THINGS. STUFF.

Backyard Memories - Summer 2011

But, there are some companies out there whose products I LOVE and think are must-haves and really help facilitate some amazing memories. Because, let’s face it, we can’t  holiday ALL the time {bummer}. Continue reading

Peekaboo Beans {Jennifer Sincennes, personal stylist}

I don’t even know how I first heard about this company, but am I ever glad I did.

These clothes are some of the softest I’ve felt – I mean, the quality is evident and all of their pieces are incredibly comfortable. Not to mention totally stylish and adorable! {I want some for me!}

Her *serious model* pose I guess lol

Kidz Bop Ultimate Hits {Now Available}

Sitting in the condo over Easter break, enjoying some RnR after a fun and busy day of shopping and swimming, a commercial came on. We all snickered a little at the kid versions of popular hit songs – while our kids immediately began singing along and moving to the beat. And every time the commercial came on we were met with serious begging to purchase the product.

Little did my kids know that I had one coming for review. Continue reading

A *Pinterest* Date A Day {Day Five}

This was originally intended for Friday, but Jonah had a birthday party to go to and our morning was spent getting groceries and birthday gifts. Saturday also involved a birthday party that resulted in a fun cousin sleepover {our house} with lots of playing and crafts.

So it became today’s *fun activity*

A *Pinterest* Date A Day {Day Four}

Well, it’s day four and Jonah is now really into the whole habit of doing an organized *fun activity* each day – so he spends a lot of time asking when it will be time to do it. lol

Which doesn’t bother me at all – I love that he is looking so forward to this time together, and to trying something new. Continue reading

Accesorizing with Gold

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to help style a mom’s photo shoot with my friend, and Lia Sophia Advisor, Tara Rasmussen. Mommy Connections is a program for new moms that gives opportunities for new experiences, learning, and of course the opportunity to meat other moms with kids the same age. On this particular day the Lethbridge group  met at La Di Da Lane Photography {Jennifer is AMAZING} to have photos taken of them and their wee ones – how fun is that! They thought it would be fun to have access to some fabulous jewelry along with a little help styling and accesorizing with their outfits. Tara couldn’t agree more and asked me to tag along to help. OH MY WORD – it was soooo fun!

A *Pinterest* Date A Day {Day Three}

Today’s activity was fairly simple, but also really fun. And in all honesty, I don’t bring the paints out nearly enough.

The original instructions on Attack of the Twins {via Pinterest} suggests finger painting, but we stuck with brushes today. Though it would be a really great summertime playgroup idea {tucking away}.
