Thank you!

The only reason I’d ever want to live in a city is for the thrift stores! Though our small town thrift shop is amazing, it’s, well, still a small town thrift shop! 🤷🏻‍♀️
I looooove thrifting, but some of my favourite “old” things have been passed down to me from family. This rose spoon was my Grandmas, and the white tin was my Great Grandmas! Do you have anything that’s been passed down to you???

Nearly 1 year old and still not too sure about this whole standing thing... personally, I think her cheeks are weighing her down 🙈🥰

Cutest little outfit from @blackbearboutique

Our first Valentines Day together and there’s honestly nothing very Valentine-y going on here today but we ARE getting take out for supper and there IS a pink pillow on my friends couch! #goodenoughforme #easytoplease

If someone were to bundle me up like this and pull me around outside, perhaps I’d like winter more... but seriously zoom in on this cute face!

This has felt like the longest winter. The days often feel soooo long being cooped up inside with a babe. One thing that REALLY helps me is to stay creative and work with my hands while Sunnie plays around me.
Last month I was all about felting, this month is all about rope rainbows!
@wholefamilyrhythms talks about this concept of a caregivers handwork in her seasonal guides and it leaves me so inspired! (this is NOT sponsored, I just genuinely LOVE her ideas).

That brief beautiful moment when the house was tidy... it doesn’t last long anymore with Sunnie on the move, making little messes wherever she goes.
I love a tidy house, but I also love the signs of her exploration....
Anyways, this afternoon we’re practicing a dance for Sunnies first birthday and it’s going to be amazing!

Ready for Sunnies first Valentine’s Day thanks to @joossica_official 💕 ❤️💕

Clean house ✨ just don’t look at the crumbs on my floor, dust on my shelves, dirty dishes hiding under the sink board.... okay fine, it’s not a clean house but it IS tidy!

Just a cute photo 🥰

Some of you might not know this, but I’m an artist for a living, a printmaker to be exact.
I haven’t been doing much work this past year since Sunnie was born, but am slowly getting back into it!
This print here is “Fly On” which I made in honour of babies lost through miscarriage, failed adoptions, and any other form of loss. It holds a special place in my heart always ❤️🌈🐦

A photo from before HFM invaded our life...
Thanks for all the well wishes for our Sunnie bear yesterday 🥰

Sunnie got hand foot and mouth this weekend, poor thing! While it wasn’t the refreshing weekend I was hoping for, these rainbow bits and bobbles for her 1st birthday are sparking some serious joy! Swipe to see the gnomes I made....
And if you want a bit more 1st birthday cuteness go see @lindseybadenhop and @ourgrowingstorey whose babes both just turned 1! 🍰

Packing away all the itty bitty baby clothes.... and yes they all spark joy ✨🤷🏻‍♀️

It reached -52C (-62F) here last night, but the sun is still shining so I’m alright with it. ☀️ #itsallmanitobanscantalkabout #theweather

Just when I thought she reached her peak of cuteness.... this @wunderkin_co bow takes her cuteness to a new level 😍🎀

Been kissing this face for almost 11 months now and loving it.

Sunnies first birthday is in just over a month, so naturally I started looking at allllllll her newborn pictures... For the most part, though I do miss the newborn and itty bitty baby stage, I have been excited to see her grow and develop.
After waiting years for her, I simply can’t do this “scarcity” thing of looking back with longing and sadness. Those were sweet, precious moments, yes, but the present moment has continually proved to be just as meaningful... too meaningful to be robbed by sadness that my baby is growing up... but I did say “for the most part” 😉 of course there are those moments when I just long for her to fit on my shoulder like this again... just a few of my thought rambles for this Wednesday.

Waiting for birds to stop by and grab a snack... so thankful my happy girl is back compared to last weeks grumpy pants!
