Well if you follow me on Instagram you are probably aware that I was planning a trip to New Orleans. What you may also know is that I didn’t go to New Orleans {yet!} but instead went to Santa Barbara. Seems an odd switch, I know, but I truly believe it all unfolded the way it should. New Orleans won my heart quickly and the more instagram accounts I followed, the more I knew I needed to get there. The colours,…
For the past several years I have made a point of choosing a word as my focus for the entire year. One year was Simplify, last year was more of a declaration with Year of Me and this year is DISCOVER This is the word that came to me late last year as I reflected on my time focusing on me, things I wanted to accomplish and plan for. It seemed the most fitting follow up and is something at…
Several years ago I read some advice from a seasoned mother where she said that she always tried to be a yes mom. That when her children asked to do or have something, saying yes as often as possible taught them that she trusted them. It’s something that stuck with me and I’ve since encountered numerous moments where I’ve been able to exercise this beautiful piece of wisdom. I hate arguing with my kids and it’s not that I say…
I’m still avoiding the quilt project from February – I know, I know…but I really just was not cut out for them. So instead of worrying about it, I scoured through my Pinterest Crafting and Sewing board to find something new for my March project. This GOOOOORGEOUS Anthropologie inspired ruffled pencil skirt from Elizabeth Ave won – I’m sure you can see why *heart eyes* I knew exactly what fabric to use because I’ve had it in my sewing room for over a…
If you follow me on Instagram {@theseareyourdays} or facebook {Cute Like Me}, then you know last summer we went away on a fun family getaway. Our first 5 days were spent at the northernmost point of the Shuswap Lake at the most delicious piece of secluded paradise and then we ended our time together in Kelowna. Really, my cousin invited us along to Silver Beach and I totally invited ourselves for the Kelowna portion. Ha! #truestory We had a fun…
I can’t explain the impact that people have on my life. Specifically meeting them and making new friends – like the butterflies and giddiness of a new love interest – but even just the energy of people coming and going. As I write this I’m sitting in our local Starbucks just people watching. And my cup is full; I may never go home. Kidding {sort of}. Recently I spent the weekend in Lake Louise with my cousin – okay so I totally invited myself…
For the past few months I’ve been following some New Orleans companies and people on Instagram. And for these few months I’ve also been angry with my parents for never taking me there as a kid. Seriously. I’m certain I’d have never left. Photo Credit: Etsy Seller CLINGeverything This place is for me. New Orleans is my jam. I can just feel it – the colours, the culture, the energy and of course, the people. I’m already in love and we…
My post high school years were FILLED with incredible experiences and opportunities. From time spent as a leader at Kids Cancer Camps {for kids with Cancer and their siblings} to a short stint in Baltimore as an au pair, then living with my friend and his family for the last few months of his life, followed by a solo trip to Puerto Vallarta when I was 21. And many more. Each of these could be one {or several} blog post of its own – which…
