Can you believe its been 5 years since I’ve shared the Best Low Point Weight Watchers Snacks?! (See the original post here). Since the new Weight Watchers Freestyle program arrived last year, there are now 200- 0 point foods! You’d think finding a snack wouldn’t be all that hard with so many low point options.  […]

It had been a little over a month since I revealed our bright Modern Farmhouse kitchen.  We are still finding our way around, getting comfortable, and putting things in their place. One thing that counldn’t been ignored is our Dekton Countertop.  What is Dekton Countertop?  Dekton is a man-made, unique blend of raw materials. It contains […]

I don’t claim to be a professional when it comes to hanging banister garland for Christmas. I have to be honest, this is the first Christmas in the history of my adult Christmases I’ve had a banister to decorate! I was so excited when The Home Depot Canada asked if I would join them in […]

Welcome to my 2018 Christmas Home Tour! Decorating for the holidays is my favourite thing, so of course sharing this post is one of my favourites too! Not only because I get to share what I love most about Christmas, but also get to link up with a bunch of other Canadian decor bloggers who […]

Now that our kitchen renovation is complete moving to the yellow house has begun. Moving is such a daunting task, I’m sure some of you can relate. A little help from my new Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute vacuum is making my move so much easier. I moved around a fair amount in my 20s, back then […]

Weeeeoooh, what a whirlwind 6 weeks. It feels so good to be at the finish line! I can’t say it wasn’t a gruelling 6 week Kitchen Renovation Challenge, but so rewarding in the end! I am insanely excited to show you the final reveal of my fresh modern farmhouse kitchen. Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Reveal I […]

This week was fast and furious, so much work done this week and it really has started to look like a put together kitchen!  Let’s take a minute to recap Week 1 if you’re playing catch-up. I’m one of 12 designers competing in a 6 Week Renovation Challenge with Jeffery Court where one of us […]

Things really started to take shape in Week 4. The week ended in the middle of a few projects but I’m feeling like we may actually pull this off!  Let’s take a minute to recap Week 1 if you’re playing catch-up. I’m one of 12 designers competing in a 6 Week Renovation Challenge with Jeffery […]

We are in week 3 of the Renovation Challenge, behind the scene week was not pretty and had very little wow factor.  It was all about what makes a functional kitchen tick. Let’s take a minute to recap Week 1 if you’re playing catch-up. I’m one of 12 designers competing in a 6 Week Renovation […]

Things got real this week, demo week is here! After a hours of hard planning, said ‘plans’ got completely turned upside down and started to snowball. I had plans to move a thing here and put a thing there, until it grew, and it grew, and it grew. I mean that’s the thing about renovations […]

I have some exciting news! Well, a few tidbits of exciting news… 1. I’m moving! 2. I’m doing a full on kitchen renovation in the Yellow House 3. I partnered with Jeffery Court for an exciting 6 Week Renovation Challenge.  6 weeks seems like a mad push, but I work best under pressure, and it […]

Everyone has dishes that are near to their heart. Ones that make them think of home, and bring up fond memories, because their mom or grandma made it best. I grew up in a family with great hands in the kitchen. When Atlantic Superstore shared that this month’s 2018 Canadian Food Trend would be focusing […]

How did fall sneak up on us so fast? It seemed as if one day was blistering hot and the kids were swimming, and the next I hauled out my slippers and wool blankets. I’m so grateful to be a part of this years Canadian Bloggers Fall Home Tour. Fixing up my home for fall […]

Ever spot a room that is just all kinds of wrong? Well, let me introduce the blue bathroom. It was a 9.5 on the bad scale for me, like wrong on so many levels. With just a few hours to spare I gave this bright blue space a much needed bathroom makeover… with a little spa like […]

I’m really lucky that without too much hassle I can get my kids to help in the kitchen. Since the time they were small, I had them right alongside me in the kitchen, whether it be at home or restaurant. However, during the summer we’re rarely home, so not many meals grace our table. With […]
