June The sun is rich And gladly pays In golden hours, Silver days, And long green weeks That never end. School's out. The time Is ours to spend. There's Little League, Hopscotch, the creek, And, after supper, Hide-and-seek. The live-long light Is like a dream, And freckles come Like flies to cream. - John Updike …
Indie, Lately
Three and a half. She likes dinosaurs, twirly dresses, astronauts, jumping in puddles, singing, ghosts, buses, firetrucks/ambulances/police cars, makeup, jumping on the couch and babies. She doesn't like thunder, going to bed, spiders, sitting in carts when shopping. She watches Little Princess, Ollie and Moon, Wanda and the Alien, Paw Patrol, Max and Ruby, …
MABYN, LATELY
This crazy little kid is almost 1 year old and I am baffled by that, honestly. I've never experienced a faster year in my entire life. She thinks shes SO freaking funny, wants to eat everything in sight (but then gags on it all), is JUST starting to sit up (don't come at me, her …
Guide to Calgary: Made by Marcus
This is our favourite ice cream shop in Calgary! Which is saying something, because Calgary has a bunch of good options in this category. However this one's our winner. The flavours are interesting without being too crazy, the sundaes are freaking gorgeous and the staff is always lovely and helpful. The store itself is adorable …
INDIE, LATELY
Indie is almost 3 and a half! Her hair is getting longer and she actually let's me put it up these days. Sometimes she requests a bow or headband as well. She wants to do everything herself, and if not on her own then she wants to help us do it. She helps me …
A Winter Walk in Photographs
I was in need of a new location for an engagement session I had coming up, so I grabbed my cute family and brought them along to location scout with me (of course). The sun was going down, it was classically Calgary cold and also full of magick. There's something about being in the middle …
Don’t Forget You’re Cool Too
Isn't it funny how much we try to plan things, and the more we plan things out the more life is like "ha no". I started this blog March 16th, 2017. I had PLANNED to keep at it of course, as I always do when I start blogging. However, at that time I didn't know …
Guide to Calgary: A Friday Morning in Inglewood
Mitchell was off work yesterday, and we've been wanting to go down to Inglewood to wander around with the girls so we decided to take the morning to do that. Unfortunately it was freaking cold (hello -20) so we decided to just venture to the two stores we wanted to visit most: Silk Road Spice …

It’s 2018, Do What You Fucking Want
Friends. I got a little fired up this morning after reading an article online. Story of my life to be honest, and while I normally try to not react, today was not one of those days. I want to share with you a bunch of what I wrote. It's a bit rambly as I originally …
For the Bad Days (Hours, Weeks, Months)
You know those days that happen where you feel like the worlds worst mom? I mean logically you know you aren't, because Casey Anthony is still alive, but there's those days where your mind is like NOPE you're definitely the worst mom out there right now. Today is one of those days for me. Mabyn was …
