As requested on facebook – Magical Healing Soup! From Alicia Silverstone’s book – The Kind Diet this soup is perfect for those days you are feeling a little under the weather. Like I am today – and have been since Thursday night. I woke up Friday knowing I shouldn’t eat anything BUT this soup – so after a great veggie filled shopping trip I did just that. It’s different each time I make it, so there really isn’t a *recipe*…

Starting the Captain’s watch collection with Jord! #jordwatch #wearJORD #BeYou #thecaptain #thesearethedays
**Disclaimer: Jord provided the Captain with the gorgeous watch below for review purposes. However, this has not affected my review and all opinions are 100% honest and my own. Spoiler alert: These watches are INCREDIBLE!** For the majority of our married life {13 years}, the Captain has talked about having a watch collection. And thanks to Jord {and me for choosing a men’s watch of course} he was finally able to start one – with this gorgeous piece: Ebony & Rosewood, Dover…

Why You Need a Brother! #brotherinnovis #sewingfun #brothercanada #thesearethedays
I promise you I’m not just saying it, but you really need a Brother. Seriously. And my lovely cousin, Laura would agree. Earlier this year, while watching her two younger kids, I made her daughter a couple of skirts using this adorable Girl’s Maxi Skirt Pattern from Girl Charlee. They quickly became favourites and was shared between two of her girls (yay for knit fabric that can stretch – also from GirlCharlee). So she planned a fun little trip with her two older…
A couple of times in September I had a message on my phone from Shaw wanting to discuss my account, though with so many phone scams going on there was no way I was phoning back. I honestly figured if there was a problem, they could send me a letter. Then the Captain texted to tell me that our internet was out, so I told him I would phone after work. I cannot even explain to you how aggravating the…

5 Things I Would Change About The Manteo Resort #manteoresort #thesearethedays #kelowna
Our stay at the Manteo Resort was fabulous, for sure, but that doesn’t mean that everything met our expectations. It has nothing to do with being difficult to please {AT ALL}, and everything to do with the expectation that comes with paying $300+/night. So these are the 5 things I would change: Smack Dab ~ Their in house restaurant, whose slogan is *Crazy Good Food* had okay food, but nothing spectacular. We had their pizza for lunch, which was good, but…

Scarlet and Gold #givegrace #companiesthatgiveback #payitforwardfriday #adoption #infertility #thesearethedays
While I wasn’t the girl who got pregnant on the first try, and Brooklyn is actually a Rainbow Baby, I can’t even pretend that I know what it’s like to struggle with infertility. And although I was adopted and have seen many lives blessed through adoption, I do not know personally what that actually feels like. I can imagine and think I come pretty close to understanding, but ultimately I don’t know. But I will always support those in their efforts to expand their family.…

Coachella Shorts #brotherinnovis #brothercanada #thesearethedays #Coachellashorts
When I saw these shorts made by iCandy Handmade, I was immediately in love. In fact, I went to the fabric store the very next day to grab embellishments {I’m trying to be responsible and use up fabric I already have…I know, sad!} and purchased the pattern from Striped swallow Designs so that I could get started right away. Now let me tell you – the pattern is ridiculously easy. Which is probably why it took me ALL night to figure it out.…

{Grace and Salt} #companiesthatgiveback #payitforward #thesearethedays #adoption #T1D
I feel like nothing I say will do this story justice. My heart is so full for this family and their purpose, and I can’t wait for the day they set foot back in their home as a family of FOUR! The last two weeks I have featured companies that give back to other organizations, and while Grace and Salt is as well, they are doing so in a different way. Instead of donating their funds to another organization’s good…
Sometimes shoes come with boring laces…and sometimes you just get sick of tying them. Or, like many parents, tired of waiting for what seems like FOREVER, for your kid(s) to tie theirs. U-Lace has solved the problem in the most fun and customizable way! This is probably my favourite design and I am desperate to get Jonah a pair of high tops so I can copy it. Ha! For now though, he’ll have to just enjoy the fun orange and…
