Yarn Wreath

I'm so excited to make this you have no idea!! I haven't had a wreath on my door for a month now and it looks so empty... I need something for spring and I found this beauty....well the whole shop has amazing wreaths and wonderful inspiring ideas. 




I wanted to make sure I knew how to do this right... so I found this wonderful blog that gave step by step instructions on how to make a yarn wreath with felt flowers. 
Find her great blog here! 

Oh and the best part is..no sew...hot glue gun you are my friend!
I will post my wreath when I'm finished.... are you inspired now too??

Potty time!

I've been slowly starting to potty train Olivia...harder than it looks thats for sure. I'm pretty sure she is not ready because she hinds under her play table screaming "NO potty"...oh brother so dramatic. I'm pretty sure she gets this from me! So I had been trying to make potty time a little bit more "fun".... I found this potty chart on one of my favourite blogs! We put in on the wall above the toilet and have crayons and mickey mouse stickers to put on it. Hopefully with this chart and patience we can get my little girl potty trained...it's about time mamas not a fan of changing toddlers diapers anymore! Wish us luck xo


Find this great chart here and happy potty training :)

Afternoon project: organize cabinet

I am starting to become the queen of starting a project and not finishing it!! What the heck?? I am so not like this. I have a never ending list of DIY projects, decor, cleaning, etc etc that needs to get done. So each week I am going to finish one (maybe two) of my projects until they are all complete:) I have been working on clearing this out for months now...finally finished. Just needed to be organized and de-cluttered.


This was such a beautiful day that my friend Michele and I went for a walk and took the kiddies to the park. Both of my babies passed out (and are still sleeping) so I got another project done..yea me! These are so cute I can't get over them..Printable paper owls. I printed out 6 of them and I am turning them into a mobile! I think I am going to put them in the play room or maybe Gavin's room? Take a look here and give them a try! 


Seriously how cute

First hair cut

This is a little bit late but Olivia had her first hair cut about 2 weeks ago...well it was only her bangs but it was a big step for mama! I think she looks like such a little big girl now. I can't believe my Olivia is almost 2 and a half...I just love her. 


New Dresser


Isn't this BEAUtiful??? I have been looking for a dresser like this for over a year. I wanted to put it in my sons room as his dresser but now it goes in the master! So excited...finally get rid of the Ikea dresser I had since I was 17.... This amazing lady in Chilliwack is also doing the matching night stands for me in a white with aqua crystal knobs! So looking forward to making our master bedroom a cozy, beautiful place to rest after a LONG day with the kids.

Side note: Kris did an amazing built in downstairs, new bathroom tile is started and I'm having fun decorating! So many diy projects...not enough hours in the day!

My Baby Boy is 4 months...

Some milestones so far: Also rolls from back to front...needs a small push and he goes, sleeps from 9pm-8:30am everyday..thank you...has lots of smiles and giggles. Now those melt the heart. Olivia is starting to play with him showing him certain toys and holding his hand! Ohhh so cute.
