Hello friends! We are just popping in quickly today to share our wonderful news! We welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world on February 3rd. She came unexpectedly and three weeks early, but she is a healthy and happy baby! We can’t believe it’s been almost three weeks since her birth. Needless to say things…
Master Bedroom Update
Just popping in quickly today with a little inspiration for our master bedroom. In the process of setting up Baby G’s nursery I stole a few items from our bedroom, which left it looking a little bare. So I decided now would be the perfect time to give our bedroom a mini update. It has…

Kitchen Refresh and Free Printable
Every year after the Christmas tree comes down, the shiny baubles are put away and the inevitable mess of sparkles is swept up I’m invigorated and ready to freshen up our home.

Greek Lentil Soup
This is a mix of traditional Greek lentil soup, with some additional ingredients for a twist and is a great meal on a cold winter night. This soup is very healthy as it is high in iron and fiber!

DIY Book Wreath
My mom works at a library, so I grew up surrounded by books and a love of reading. It’s no wonder I love having books scattered throughout our home as well. A stack of vintage books adds instant character to a room, I’m always layering them onto our bookshelves, or stacking them on tabletops. So,…
DIY Rustic Candle Tray
We had seen a “Reflection Centrepiece” that we liked at Crate & Barrel not too long ago. It retailed for $179, which was a little more than we wanted to spend. So when we got home, I decided I could make a similar piece for Alicia. It was so easy and inexpensive to make that I actually made two…
