I still oftentimes catch myself saying “Good Job” to everything Aliyana and Magali does well-ish. Even when it’s a daily routine or an activity and it ends with something remotely good, I hear myself shouting good job across the hall. “Good Job, you put on your shoes! Good job, you put on your coat! Good […]

After having relatively larger parties for Aliyana first two birthdays, I realized I wanted to do something different for her 3rd. Birthday celebrations usually come along with a lot of ‘stuff’ and we are so beyond blessed to have such generous friends and family that love her so much. However, as you know I’m not […]

My own Montessori journey started 3 years ago when I entered my first Montessori classroom when Aliyana was 6 months old. I have to admit that the beautiful prepared environment captivated me first. Everything was laid out in a way that was inviting and encouraged children to touch and explore activities. The teacher who was […]

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 […]

To kick off this holiday season, I want to give you guys a chance to win some of my favourite items – for you, your tiny humans and for your home! First off, thank you so much for following along my journey into motherhood and life as a marriage + motherhood photographer. This past two […]

I’m partnering with Anthem this holiday season to bring you Santa Photos – free with a non-perishable food donation to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank! If you guys know me and have been following along for a while, you’ll know I don’t do a lot of partnerships BUT When Anthem approached me with this idea, […]

As some of you already know, I am not a huge fan of extra stuff kicking around the home and I’m trying to simplify and de-clutter our life so when it came to Aliyana’s second birthday, I didn’t want to give other parents random items in a goodie bag to take home with their kids […]

If you’ve been following along my Instagram Stories you would’ve seen that Aliyana has been in the toddler Montessori program for almost 6 months now and her development has been phenomenal. The first time I attended the infant class (when she was 6 months old) I saw a little 2-year-old boy set the table and […]

What is it with kids and carbs? Aliyana will drop her beloved banana in a heartbeat for a piece of banana bread or blueberry muffin. I try my best to make a lot of stuff at home and freeze it for later because let’s be honest, nobody has that much time to be cooking and […]
