This time of year nature really puts on her most beautiful show where we live. I can’t deny I am jealous of people in warm climates come snow time, but in September I can’t argue with brisk mornings, yellow and red leaves in the trees and cool evenings by the fire. And mushrooms! Seri...

A couple weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of sharing an evening with some of Edmonton’s most creative, warm and fun ladies. It was a night of crafting with a healthy dose of laughter, incredible snacks and of course, cocktails mixed in for good measure! And it was all put on by two of ...

The Quesnell Heights Reveal.
AHHHH, this post is soooo overdue! It will be 1 year on October 4 since we took on this project. I actually can’t believe it has been that long, but sometimes doing it right takes time… and LOTS of money LOL. This is a house I took on knowing it would need a lot of […]

There is one colour I find universally lovely: Blush. The name alone is soft and pretty. Some of the most perfect shades of blush are found in nature, or where nature has taken it’s toll on a once vibrant red or pink. It is unlimited inspiration to me, here are some of my favourite blushy [...

How amazingly beautiful even the tiniest moments in nature are. The frost was exceptionally gorgeous one morning this week and the only thing I thought could make it prettier was if it was pink. I hope you have some time this weekend to enjoy the beautiful things around you that deserve your atte...

Seating Shake Up
A few weeks ago we took our white slipcovered chairs out of the dining room. We bought them at Ikea about 8 years ago and while they were in great shape still and I had no real reason to not like them anymore they just didn’t mesh with the table we bought last year. It […]

Grade 2
I woke up yesterday with a grade 2-er. How did that happen? I know EVERY blogger and mom out there is saying basically the same thing, but really, how is it possible that she is so grown up already? Mr. Bean and I both were begging her to stay home with us, but she was […]

Wren starts grade two after the long weekend and I am sitting here scratching my head wondering where the Summer went. It has been a busy, fun, hot Summer, but really I can’t get into the Fall mindset. Give me more ice cream, bike ride, pool filled days!!! However, I know how much easier li...

You never know when inspiration may strike! I have been finding some really fun and inspiring stuff around the web lately, so I figured it might be fun to group them together in coordinating collages and do random posts from time to time. It’s fun to see how your taste or style has a common...

  It’s been a while since I did one of these, which is odd, because I love these little snapshots in time of what’s happening in life. So let’s get to it. Current favourite activity: Paper folding. It’s pretty much free if you have some paper, some patience and find a...

Okay, more like 3.5 or 3 and a quarter or something… but the real point of this post isn’t how long we’ve been loving our kitchen reno, but the fact that we’ve had time to live in it, beat it up, and decide what we love and what we don’t (spoiler: we actually donR...

I picked up the cutest cookbook at Ikea a couple weeks ago. It is all baked goodies, based on the swedish concept of coffee time (which I’m guessing is similar to our saying ‘tea time’). We’ve tried out a couple of them and they are soooo wonderfully simple and fun to make...

Wren and I tagged along with Sean for a work trip this early this week. It was mostly driving, with little adventures in little towns along the way which was nice. It was the first time I’ve visited many of these little gems so close to home and we made a little memory at each […]
