I remember when I walked into a Montessori classroom for the first time, I was immediately drawn to the beautifully arranged toys and furniture. I must admit, it was very superficial at the beginning but as I read more about this method of teaching, the more I fell in love with it. I really wanted […]

How has been three months and I still haven’t posted Aliyana’s first birthday? Life has been really full around here. I’ve finally come to terms that planning Little A’s birthdays will forever be creatively challenging since she’s born in February, in the dead of winter. Gone are my dreams of summer BBQ and pool parties […]

If you guys are following along my insta-stories you might have noticed that I’ve recently gone back to work. I’m currently working part time as an ecomm strategist for my absolute favourite and most beautiful home decor and design shop in Vancouver.  When I walk into work, all my anxiety and fear of leaving sweet […]

Light, compact and fits into the overhead compartment on the plane. Gone are the days of checking your stroller at the door and waiting for the flight staff to retrieve it when you arrive at your destination. We also didn’t have the luxury of time since our connecting flight was taking off 1.5 hours after […]

Recently, I’ve been talking more and more about Montessori at home and how I’m striving to create a calming play space for Aliyana that reflects her Montessori classroom.

Over the last 10 months, there were so many things I wanted to share and document but I soon realized it’s much easier to document everything (since baby and camera are both joined at my hip) but finding the time to edit, write and post is much more challenging than I had originally anticipated. Heading […]

October marks eight months with Aliyana. I want to spend as much time as I can with her being present and collecting memories for our little family. Although I know she wouldn’t remember any of this, I just want all these moments captured and documented. It’s SOOO true, time really does fly and I’m really […]

This past year, I’ve been hearing more and more about carbon monoxide poisoning. The most recent was an old friend who told me that his best friend had passed away while they were on vacation due to undetected carbon monoxide. To be honest, it’s actually extremely frightening as it’s really hard to detect because it’s […]

5 months later, I finally have the courage to look at all the photos from Aliyana’s birth. They’re real, raw and simply breathtaking. Wow! It’s been a really long time since I’ve updated my blog and what a better way to kick it off again then to write about Aliyana’s birth story. Now that this little […]
