How COVID-19 Changed Me Unexpectedly
COVID-19 made a lot of big changes, and I have also been changed….for the better.
My Front Yard Transformation
My new home needed some curb appeal in the front yard, desperately. Check out the transformation!
We moved into our new home about a year ago, and the previous owners didn’t really make gardens a priority. We knew right away we needed to start landscaping.
But it was overwhelming when you’re starting from scratch! Where do you start? What should the shapes of the garden be? Do we do shrubs or just flower beds? Perennials or annuals? So many questions!
Thankfully our friends at Bradford Greenhouses Garden Gallery helped out.
Quarantine Cooking
We’re sharing some of our favourite food we’ve cooked up while in quarantine, but a warning: these are definitely not healthy but so worth the calories.
Turning 40… Why I’m No Longer Fearing This Milestone
Tomorrow is the day. Yes, the day I’ve been both fearing and looking forward to for a long time.
Except, I wasn’t quite expecting that I’d be turning 40 during a global pandemic.
For years I wanted to push turning 40 back. I didn’t feel ready to reach this milestone yet. I thought that by age 40 you needed to be deep in your career, running a department, making the salary you dreamed of, blah, blah blah.
You basically needed to get your shit together.
I didn’t feel I had it together.
The Pandemic Handbook is Based on Kindness
There’s no handbook showing us how to deal with Covid-19 and social distancing. Other than stay home. But we’re adding one more: Kindness
Stop the Comparisons
How we stopped comparing ourselves to others and found happiness and success on the other side.
American Standard Spalet Bidet Seat Review – Update!
It’s been a few months since we installed the Advanced Clean 3.0 Spalet Bidet Seat from American Standard in our master bathroom and I thought I’d let you know how it worked out during the last few weeks of my pregnancy, and postpartum.
The Gift of Experiences
ere’s our ultimate list of gifts kids will love that don’t clutter your home!
Can you believe we are ten days from the Holidays? For many of us, there are still some people left on that list to buy for.
Everyone asks us what to get our kids for Christmas, and as they get older, we find their interest in toys isn’t as strong as it once was.
Our recommendation to family members is to give the gift of experiences. To help, we put together this list of experiential gifts that will blow the mind of any kid.
