• I’ve heard “I am scared to say the wrong thing.” I get it, I have felt this. We have to get past this though, we have to continue to ask, seek, learn, and speak up. Be more scared of what happens if you don’t have conversation. #blacklivesmatter Do this with compassion, understanding, kindness and it will also be received that way. To some what I have been sharing over stories this week may feel like a lot, to others not enough. Look into your heart, and do what feels right. Social media isn’t everything. “Performance won’t end racism. Change your heart. Change your home. Change humanity” — @ohhappydani First image: @lesliedwight Second Image: @ohhappydani

  • None of us are looking at the camera but I still really like this photo.

  • Put my swimsuit on with very little intention of actually swimming... keep on swiping right to see if I did. @imagineperryco two piece I bought and couldn’t be happier with. Sharing the front & back (butt credit to @namastaywithtay for the million squats I’ve done the last six weeks doing her workouts 🤣🤣🤣🤣) proud of it. . . . #imagineperryco #shopchelseaking #melanieauld #cultuslake m #momsintheframe #embraceyourmotherhood #simplymothers #motherhoodiscolourful

  • IT’S FINISHED!! 🌱 🌸 ☀️ I sketched up this tiered garden bed and the hubby crafted it up beautifully! The girls thought it made a pretty cool jungle gym.. until I started filling up the beds with Canadian made @cillawnandgarden Raised Garden Bed Soil. Then they hopped down and started to help fill it up. The top bed will be filled with herbs, followed by a row of lavender and then a row of roses. The top shelf I’m planning to have for plants that tend to take over and keep them in pots, like mint and cilantro. Once all the plants are in place I will mix in some Organic-based plant food from C-I-L and get to watch them grow! PS!! I have had a few of you DM me for the plans and dimensions, would you be interested in a blog post to DIY your own? (Or your hubby 😉) . . . *sponsored #CIL #lawnandgarden #keepitsimple #homegardening #diygardenbed #raisedgardenbeds #tierdgardenbed #canadiangardening #bhg #dym_inthistogether #tsj_lifeathome #momsintheframe #simplymothers #cys_spring #cw_blooms #childhoodwonders #honestlyparents #raw_cuteness

  • Everytime I pull out the SodaStream my kids are begging to be the ones to turn our tap water into sparkling water. With our @sodastreamcanada FIZZI it's just one push of a button and seconds later you have bubbly, sparkling water. We live in a part of the world that has amazing fresh tap water, so using it to create sparkling water is the natural, economic and sustainable thing to do (instead of purchasing single-use bottles and cans).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ SodaStream is a long term partner of mine and a brand I look up to when I think about sustainability. The majority of their products do not require electricity (like the FIZZI featured in the image), one @sodastreamcanada bottle can reduce up to 2000 single-use plastic bottles and the brand itself is centered around a reuse and recycle model. Something to think about for all you sparkling water lovers out there.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ *partner #sodastream #stayhomewithsodastream #stayhome #homeofficedecor

  • We walked less that 1 km (700m to be exact) today and filled our garbage bag! I couldn't believe it. That's a lot of garbage for such a short distance. As much as I am not happy about how much garbage was collected I was happy that the girls and I chose to get out on our community streets and #staygiving. They loved pointing out the pieces of garbage and having me pick it up with gloves on. This is the second time we have done this and lately I have heard the girls ask questions like Mommy why do people leave their garbage on the ground? I'd love to encourage you all to give back with your kids, something as simple as walking your street with a garbage bag and picking up garbage with gloves on. It not only teaches our children about best practices but I also think those that drove by and saw us would also be reminded to keep our earth clean. We were motivated to get out thanks to @telus and their #staygiving challenge. Telus is driven by the giving philosophy We Give Where We Live, TELUS and its team members and retirees have volunteered 1.4 million days of service and contributed $1.3 billion in support of Canadian charities and grassroots organizations since 2000, more than any other Canadian organization. This year, TELUS team members across Canada will be volunteering, virtually and safely, to help create stronger, healthier communities from coast to coast to coast. Making them the MOST GIVING company in the world! Incredible. I've shared some more ways in my stories you can give back. Head there to see more Telus community members giving back. So let me know how you plan to support your community in the comments + #Staygiving. Tag anyone you want to inspire to do the same! #telus_partner #StayGivingStayConnected #StaySafeStayConnected #communitylove #thefraservalley

  • I've got two crazy kids who are excited to test out jumping on their new beds! We are redoing the girls room, taking down their bunk beds and are going to have them side by side in their twin mattresses from Canadian-made @endy. They girls come into our bed almost eevverrryyyy night and snuggle up on our Endy mattress, now I wonder, if they have the same mattress as mom and dad will it keep them in their beds longer?? Here to find out! haha!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #sponsored #endypartner #bedinabox #endyreview #endymattress #kidsmatress #livingroomdesign #canadianmom #canadianbrand #cwjwpartner #interiorstyling #bhghome #canadianhome
