so much to do, so little time!

If you guys remember back to my first post, I mentioned something about a journey involving moving to Saskatchewan. Well that journey is taking a fast track and we're gonna be on our way in just two and a half weeks!

Jordan and I have been busy bees trying to knock down our to-do list everyday this month. Major headache marathon going on at the moment.. We also have been drinking a ton of espresso shots from Tim Hortons to keep us going and they are SO disgusting! I have to chase it with an Ice Capp haha. I'm weak.

Since we're moving a gazillion miles away we had to pick and choose what we could bring. Which means selling and leaving a lot behind. But I'm glad to leave this enormous-nothing-but-trouble couch in the hands of someone who wants it! It's nice, but could you imagine getting this thing in and out of a one bedroom apartment with steep, narrow hallways...what in the hell were we thinking!

I'm also trying to get a lot of good content up for you guys while I can during the next few weeks. So stay tuned!
And just to warn you for next month, I'll only have my handy dandy iPad with me instead of a real computer. Which means there'll be less posts like our monthly favourites and Pinterest Tuesdays, but more posts with pictures of our day to day! But don't worry it'll only be temporary. This wild swinging baby hopes you don't mind!

I also wanted to formally say thank to all the people who take the time to read my blog! If it wasn't for my Blogger stats, I would honestly think the only people who enjoy reading this were Jordan's mom and his Nana (hello!). But you cannot believe how thankful and inspired I am to see daily views from places like Germany, UK and all over the United States. Even if you were just passing through, I'm still so glad to have reached someone so far across the world. And although we haven't officially said hi to each other, I know you are here and you keep me inspired! So thank you!

I can't wait to share this exciting & amazing upcoming adventure with you guys!

Ps. Look what I got had the pleasure of indulging in after Easter!! Unfortunately, it only lasted a day and a half...we have no shame...

Pinterest Tuesday: mini green thumbs (gardening)

I think gardening can be such a peaceful way for someone to relieve stress. Not to mention how beautiful the end results can be. Now that Spring has arrived, it's a great time to start working on the garden!

Jordan and I both knew from the start that we wanted to teach Avairy about where foods came from and what's it like to grow it yourself. I literally get so giddy thinking about her getting muddy in her sun hat and gardening gloves! I couldn't resist myself from looking up tiny gardening equipment for her.

If that doesn't make you turn your children into green thumbs then hopefully today's Pinterest Tuesday will. Not only is this great way to bond, but it's also something they can be proud of. Especially when they see you making dinner with their vegetables.

Definitely check out the link for gardening with scraps. It'll change your life! You'll save a ton of money by growing these yourself and most of them can be done indoors. Imagine never having to buy garlic or lettuce again!  

Feel free to leave me some suggestions for next weeks Pinterest Tuesday!

Until then happy gardening!

here's to the beginning...

Let's just be honest with each other from the start. I was extremely intimidated to start a blog. I've had blogs before, but most were just wandering rambles. This blog was different. This blog was a mommy blog! 
I sat and I typed then I deleted, then typed some more and then got distracted with the smell of spit up somewhere on my shirt...or on my pants...or was it in my hair?

Either way, after many days of cowering in the shadows of the graveyard of abandoned blogs, I wasn't going to let mine go down this way. I've finally gotten enough courage to throw myself into the world of mommy blogs. 

So here I am, just a creative soul looking for an outlet. A new mother of a beautiful baby girl. A baby mama to one of the hardest working persons I've been lucky enough to have in my life.

And with this blog, I hereby dedicate it to writing about my life, family and creations I may spontaneously decide is a good idea. To share tips and any advice I've learned so far to help new and young mothers. As well as share our journey of moving from Ontario to Saskatchewan in hopes of making the best future for our family.

With a new baby added to the mix, life is far too precious to not document every last bit I can.
So as I sit here in the dark, trying not to tap the keyboard too frantically so as to not wake the sleeping baby, I hope you will join me on this journey...to raising dreams.
