7 months old & on the move!

Every time Jordan and I are out with Avairy, we run into a lot of people who stop us and say, "Enjoy them while they're young because it goes by fast." I use to think it wasn't such a bad thing because I was so eager to show her the world and teach her everything I could. But now I've truly realized what they mean.

Avairy is getting older and smarter everyday and this past month has really shown me this. I cannot believe how much she's learned and how much determination she has in everything she does!


As soon as turned 6 months she learned to crawl and was getting into everything! Jordan decided to nickname her Danger because she was obsessed with cords, outlets and anything metal. I can see a ton of bubble wrap in the future...

On top of all that, the next day that she learned how to crawl, this baby was trying to stand on her own! Let's just relax a little bit with the growing and the mini independence.

I am so in love with this picture! 

She reminds me of King Kong on the Empire State building with her short stubby legs. haha

Speaking of independence, she also decided that she's a big girl and doesn't want mom to feed her anymore. She would eat a couple of spoonfuls of food and refuse the rest (which is very unlike her). Then one day she kept trying to grab the spoon from me so I decided to let her have a go at it. Turned out that's why she wouldn't eat it. All she wanted was to feed herself!

That was also the exact moment when I realized she's growing up too fast. I'll admit that I teared up a bit when she wanted to feed herself. And I saw a flash into the future of me being that mom that pushes her kid back down when they're making their first steps. Just so they could stay a baby a little bit longer. Haha

I love her to death and she is the best thing that has happened to Jordan and I. One day when she's old enough to understand, I'll have to thank her for coming into my life and giving it so much more meaning. I love my little Danger baby.

a quote to live by

We finally smashed open our Terramundi money pot and it was sad to see it scattered everywhere, but I quickly got over it once I saw how much money we had inside! haha

It took a lot of hard work in saving and planning to make moving out West a possibility. We were just sick and tired of being sick and tired! We wanted to secure a better future for our new, little family and so that's why we made the decision to pick up and move to where we had better work opportunities.

A quote I heard that I like to always keep in mind when you're feeling bogged down with life's worries is:

The pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.

I absolutely love this quote! It's simple and sounds like it's more deeper than it actually is. haha You can apply it to anything in life from getting fit, being broke, sticky relationships or crappy jobs. I find that when you're being pushed to the walls, you always push back harder.

Anyways, the baby is off to see her grandparents which means it's a free for all DIY day! So much I have planned for you guys! I hope I can get to all of it before we leave. I feel like it's been go-go-go all the time, but I guess that it's only natural when you're moving.

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...

Spring outfits for baby boys

Yesterday was officially the first day of Spring! I would be a lot more excited if it wasn't for the fact that it just feels like another day of Winter. Last year we were lucky and barely had a Winter and then had a Summer for Spring. (That doesn't sound confusing at all haha)

Well, since I brought you Spring outfits for girls, it would only be fair to do one for boys as well. Everything happened to be chosen from the Gap because for some reason I've developed an obsession with their kids clothes. I could be on their website for hours! I also noticed with boys clothing I tend to be more drawn to the bold patterns and colours. Which is a great balance because all I pick out for Avairy are pinks.

The Gap also had this really adorably geeky Hawaiian T-shirt that I so badly want to buy. If I ever were to have a boy he would probably be dressed as a little old man. That's the only way to do it in my opinion. Don't think that would fly with Jordan though. 

Well, happy Spring! I'll be here...still waiting for warmer days...
