This is 41. Last year, I felt depressed about my birthday and didn’t want to celebrate. Turning 40 felt huge to me. I’d never had a birthday meltdown like I did last year. I am happy to report that turning 41 has not thrown me for a loop like 40 did. I am grateful to…

Happy Sweet 16, my love. I am so proud to be your mama. You are so much fun, so intuitive, so thoughtful, so clever, so everything. I love watching you grow into your own person, with a huge, beautiful personality. I love that you love indie rock, and vintage records, and Taylor Swift and everything…

I absolutely love how festive my neighbourhood is at this time of the year. It makes it so much fun to get my movement in every day. #december #decembermovementchallenge @thefriendlymomsclub #day8 #holidaylights #eveningwalks #dailyslayclub #100daystoslay #yvr #vancouver #fraservalley #happyholidays2023

I don’t think it is possible to be any more snuggly and comfy than Sadie is in this moment. Also, how fun are these @goveeofficial curtain lights? Displaying a wreath in this picture, I can change them from the app on my phone and have all sorts of festive, animated scenes! Thank you @pat.jensen.752 for…

I absolutely love Christmas time. Today I am so grateful for a surprise Christmas cookie gift from the most thoughtful and amazing @dtduperron. She went to a Christmas craft fair and was so sweet to buy me a Grinch and an Elf cookie! I feel so loved 🥰 #santaohmygodiknowhim #howthegrinchstolechristmas #hisheartgrewthreesizesthatday #elf #buddytheelf #thegrinch #albioncraftfair…

Thank you sooooo much to @pacifictheatre for having us tonight! The presentation of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was playful, magical, and perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit. If you are looking for something fun to do, and your children are over 6 years of age, Ollie and I both thoroughly enjoyed…

Tonight I went to @pottersdotca for the first time and all I can say is that is was my idea of heaven! Christmas was everywhere and it was impossible not to smile as we wandered the aisles and spotted adorable knickknacks. I will definitely be back! #christmas #pottersdotca #pottersnursery #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas🎄🎁 #meghantrainor #christmasdecorideas #upsidedowntree #miceofinstagram #gorgeous…

Sometimes we do backwards day – what my kids labelled it when we do breakfast food for dinner. Today was Cinderella waffles for supper. I have had this waffle maker since my wedding in 2006 and it still works so well! #disney #cinderella #wafflesfordinner #waffles #backwardsday #breakfastfordinner

Noel by Alma Vintage Have you checked out @almahomevintage? They have made our house a lot Christmasier (sure, it’s a word…) with The Mindful Christmas advent cards! For every day of December leading up to and including Christmas Day, each card offers an affirmation and a gratitude cue. What a fun and special way to…

We have been together for 24 years, married for 17, and he is still my person, still the best hugger, still the one who makes me laugh (and roll my eyes), still the one who surprises me at random, and still the one who holds my hand when I need it. #myhusband #mylove❤️ #myperson
