After having relatively larger parties for Aliyana first two birthdays, I realized I wanted to do something different for her 3rd.

The time has finally come to close one chapter and introduce another. This has been on my mind for a few years now – pretty much since I closed Confetti & Co. 4 years ago. Today, I think I’m finally ready. I know it’s just an instagram handle but so many memories, connections and friendships […]

When I was designing our home, I wanted the space to be bright, warm and inviting. I wanted this to be a place where friends and family would want to gather throughout the seasons. I love entertaining but I haven’t been able to host much because our living quarters were always a bit tight, plus […]

The question I get asked very often is, in a digital age how come you’re still shooting film. My motherhood work is mostly shot on film with the exception of some digital backups. I love film and I can spend hours telling you all the reasons why I love it. I think my absolute favourite […]

Guest Contributer: Anita Cheung Two years ago when the pandemic hit, I decided that life was too short to wait around for my boyfriend to buy me flowers.

The most asked question I get is what is your favourite go-to white. So today, let’s chat white paint.   If you’ve been following along my reno journey, you would’ve seen how many tester strips and boards I’ve painted in a matter of a week. Just so everyone knows, I am just a tad crazy […]

We have been searching for well over a year for the perfect (forever) family home. Mike and I bought our first apartment together when we were 25 and then a townhouse when we were 30, right before I found out I was pregnant with Aliyana. We’d like to think the stars aligned for us because […]

Our last trip of the summer was a great one! You’ve probably heard this many times but COVID allowed us to explore our own backyard and it led us to The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake. It was our first time there and it left me with some beautiful family vacation memories and a calendar reminder […]

Dear Magali Grace, It’s been one year since you greeted us earth-side with your first cry in the operating room. I remember when Dr. Rosengarten lifted you over the curtains at the hospital, I broke down in tears. Going into the OR, I had no idea how I was going to feel and the minute […]

When I first found out I was pregnant with Aliyana, two things filled my Pinterest board – nursery decor and beautiful play spaces filled with every single toy I wish I had when I was little. A little back story, my parents were both immigrants, escaping the war in Vietnam so they came to Canada […]

We wait and we wait. The moment is here and we finally get to live the dream that we’ve been dreaming. Then we find out about the struggles and the anxiety that come along with this beautiful new role. We have become their protectors and their guiding light. Each day feels like a marathon of […]
