Bobs & LoLo Wooden Spoon Puppets and Dirty Feet {their new album!}

Jen — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 06:28:40 +0000

It’s no secret that we’re big music lovers in our house… If we’re at home, it can pretty much be guaranteed that there’s some sort of music on. Sometimes it’s the radio, sometimes it’s ‘adult’ music, and sometimes it’s kids’ music – so long as it’s not the ‘drive mama crazy’ variety. ☺ Luckily, Miss… Read More

Bundled at the Beach {& a Giveaway!}

Jen — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:59:29 +0000

It’s only January and we’re already starting to feel the summer heat sneaking in… Ack. I’m not ready. Jackets are becoming less needed, boots are starting to seem silly, and sandals are pretty much already acceptable {in fact I think there are several people who never gave up wearing them all winter long}. Buuut, if… Read More

A Favourite Gift {from Why Knot Mom}

Jen — Thu, 26 Dec 2013 21:14:34 +0000

Along with all sorts of other lovely items from back home, tucked inside Grandma Charlotte’s suitcase was this gorgeous little handmade doll carrier and I’m not sure who is more excited. Gracen has absolutely fallen in love with it and happily walked on her own for the entire duration of this afternoon’s adventure, all because… Read More

Gracen Tested: Stuck On You Labels {& a Giveaway!}

Jen — Wed, 22 May 2013 06:21:30 +0000

The other day, while washing a giant sink full of plastic cups and containers for what felt like the gazillionth time, I realized our babushka doll Stuck On You labels have been solidly stuck on Gracen’s drink bottles and bento boxes for the better part of a year now. They’ve been used daily, chucked into… Read More

Times Two {a whismical children’s book}

Jen — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:51:51 +0000

When I learned about Times Two, a beautifully illustrated, hardbound children’s book written and illustrated by two talented local mamas, I knew I had stumbled upon something special. The story, which was originally a lullaby written by singer songwriter Sheree Plett, is about the beauty of limitless love. As you flip the pages, you’re taken… Read More

Gracen Tested: Piggy Paint

Jen — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 08:08:49 +0000

Since she was just an itty bitty little thing, Gracen has complimented my painted toes and asked for hers to be done the same way. And though I’ve painted them for her a few times, I’ve never quite felt right about putting regular {reeky, toxic} polish on her tiny little nails. So when we were… Read More

A {Kiwi Crate} Window Garden {& a Giveaway!}

Jen — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 06:04:44 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, Gracen and I attended an awesome Halloween-themed story time at Pottery Barn Kids. (Who knew, right? It happens every Tuesday at 11 a.m. for those of you who are in Vancouver.) Afterwards, the kids got their Book Club passports stamped and were each {very generously} gifted a Kiwi Crate to… Read More

The Great Big Boo!

Jen — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 05:53:37 +0000

Though still early, our Halloween festivities began this afternoon when our little family of three headed down to the PNE Forum to take in The Great Big Boo!, a family-friendly, non-scary musical. Audience members were asked to dress-up for the show, and since I haven’t yet made this year’s round of costumes, we pulled out… Read More
