Me and my plant babies 💕 new hobbies and passio

Me and my plant babies 💕 new hobbies and passions have come out of quarantine. What have you discovered you love to do that you didn’t do much before? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year I planted a garden but I didn’t do the research or actually figure out how to do it right. This year I’ve started from seeds and have already learned so much. Like the type of soil you pot your seeds in matters a lot. Or don’t get impatient and plant little sprouts when they aren’t very strong yet! I love watching them grow and flourish and spending time out in the garden on these nice warm days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s been your quarantine go-to activity? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I hosted my first virtual baby shower on the weeke

I hosted my first virtual baby shower on the weekend! Filled with games like “name that baby tune” & “which baby was it?” And while its not quite the same as sharing time together in real life, the mama to be still got pampered with love and appreciated her friends and family coming together. Swipe left to see that shot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guests got to sign a virtual guest book with baby weight guesses, advice for the mama & see some pretty cute baby gifts. Click the link in my bio about hosting your own! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Reusables are not the only way to be eco-friendly!

Reusables are not the only way to be eco-friendly! And right now many places are not accepting personal containers, cups or bags due to Covid-19. But being forced to be at home more has got me thinking about another way to sustainable living. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Impulse buys! Before the pandemic, I’d pop into a store and pick something cute for the house just because. I’d stop at the grocery store because I felt like having asparagus for dinner instead of the vegetables at home. During pandemic, I have to make a list and get everything all at once so my impulse buys have gone way down. Has this been happening to anyone else? What have you been buying less of during the pandemic? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve realized more and more that I don’t need to buy much stuff. I keep a list on my phone of things that I “need” as they come up. Then when I’m going shopping I check that list and see if I still want those things. I realize that many of them would have been impulse buys and that while waiting to go shopping, I figured out another solution to serve the purpose or realized I just didn’t need it. I want to find a way to continue this after pandemic...but when the convenience comes back it gets harder. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you heard of the #sourdoughproject by @100in1

Have you heard of the #sourdoughproject by @100in1dayham ? It’s a 30 day project in Hamilton to share joy, positivity and stay connected with your community through acts of kindness and gratitude.
I was nominated by @lauramarie41 to take part in the challenge. I have a photo scavenger hunt throughout the Kirkendall neighbourhood that I created and wanted to share. While on your walks see if you can find all the items pictured! It’s a great activity for kids to keep them motivated to walk! You can screen shot the scavenger hunt on the next few slides or in my stories. If you want a downloadable copy you can grab it at the link in my bio under “low waste activities for kids” Enjoy the walk, say hi to your neighbours (at a distance) and move your body!
I nominate @thegivingtree.tinyhome @parkmarketandrefillery and @floralandbrick to take part in the #sourdoughproject too! Can’t wait to see what you guys have!

There’s something about a forest full of trees.

There’s something about a forest full of trees. The smell, the sounds, the colour. I can’t get enough. Many of Hamilton’s trails have reopened and while I’m so thankful for that, I truly hope that everyone remembers to keep their distance and that we are still in a pandemic.
I was so mad when I saw photos from Trinity Bellwood’s Park. Groups of multiple people playing music, drinking beer, not a care in the world for social distancing, masks or the front line workers who are still risking their lives every day. It’s disrespectful and selfish and I know they don’t feel any shame doing these gatherings which makes me madder.
So I went for a run in the trees and breathed it all in. Yes there were people and yes I had to run slower at times to keep 6ft distance rather than passing too closely. But I was back among the trees and that felt good today.

Not the best photo (was it the dim lighting or the margaritas? We’ll never know) but this was about a year ago when I was on a girls trip to NYC. And this night was SO. MUCH. FUN! We found this epic rooftop patio that was packed and just as we bought our way too expensive pitcher of margaritas it started to pour rain. We waited inside as people from the patio began to leave the bar. The rain only lasted 10 minutes and because so many people had left, we snagged a great spot outside. We talked and laughed and had another pitcher. It was so good.
This weekend is going to be prime patio weather and man I wish I could get drinks with those girls and laugh and hug them. But not yet so a Zoom cocktail call will have to do!

Virtual baby showers - how do they work and what’s included!? We’ve still got games! Many baby shower games can work great online whether it’s name that tune, what’s in my purse, which Baby was it or baby trivia we have transitioned a number of them online.
You can still have a theme & decor! Pick your theme and I’ll make you a custom zoom background that everyone can put up on screen during the shower. And try a diaper cake add on delivered to the mama-to-be. Plus all the diapers can be used afterwards!
A virtual guest book - all your guests will have the chance to sign a virtual guest book during the shower as a keepsake for the mom-to-be.
Don’t miss celebrating this big milestone - get her favourite people together now because either way, the baby is coming! DM me to get started or check out the link in my bio for all our virtual services.

Ok so I made a Tik Tok video of my quarantine morn

Ok so I made a Tik Tok video of my quarantine morning routine - my first video on there...and maybe my only one lol. What do you think?? I sometimes get asked about my morning smoothie recipe so thought I’d share it on here. We’ve got:
spinach or kale, banana, berries, protein powder, chia seeds, water, cashews (sometimes yogurt instead of cashews) yum! I miss it when I don’t have it.

Creativity, resilience & ingenuity. These are what

Creativity, resilience & ingenuity. These are what we need right now and I fee like this quote applies to so many things right now.
First off the environment. We cannot use past tactics to “solve” our climate crisis. Recycling, public transit and taking plastic out of our oceans aren’t going to cut it for the crisis we are in.
Then there’s our current pandemic. As a small business this pandemic has required us to think outside the box, get creative and figure out a new way to adapt and stay afloat. We were used to the status quo and what worked before it all got turned upside down.
Does this quote speak to you? Has pandemic got your feeling more creative with problem solving or tapped out? I go back and forth I find. Maybe you can relate?

Finally the weather is warming up but we’ve been

Finally the weather is warming up but we’ve been spending a lot of time indoors, in our homes. Are you taking care of the air in your home and ensuring it’s as clean as possible?
Indoor plants are a great way to keep your air clean - particularly the spider plant. It can actually remove some chemicals and pollutants from the air.
Diffusing essential oils can also be great for the air quality in your home. Lemon, eucalyptus and tea tree oil are some of my favourites.
I put out a blog post today about 5 eco-friendly habits that are extra important right now - and this is one of those tips. Check it out at the link in my bio.

This giant Jenga is a hit at weddings and parties

This giant Jenga is a hit at weddings and parties not just among the kids but among the parents. So why keep it locked away during quarantine? I’m pulling this guy out and it’s available for backyard rentals.
It will be sanitized in between each use and is $20 for 2 days of fun. It comes in a carrying case and can be delivered for a small charge (or free if you are close enough) DM me if interested!

We had our first two virtual birthday parties on Saturday and the kids loved them! This one was for 5 year old Lukas and Spider-Man showed up! Swipe left to hear some of Spidey’s superhero wisdom. There were 14 kids on the call and they all made fantastic superhero shields and learned some Spider-Man moves.
Contact me to check availability on virtual party dates. We have princesses, superheroes, dance parties, sing-a-longs and yoga parties for kids age 2-10!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there, e

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there, especially @glasfryngirl - a day normally filled with many hugs was quite weird today but thankful we were able to have a brief socially distanced hello.
Never will I ever take for granted hugs and kisses again! Thanks for being an incredible, loving role model for 30+ years!
Sending lots of love to all the mamas this year with little kids who have been with them 24/7 for 2 months. You guys are champions. And sending extra love to those who have lost their mom or are wishing desperately to be one. 💕

One of these is a one stop shop, and almost always

One of these is a one stop shop, and almost always the cheaper option. The other is a number of different purchases from local businesses.
@thetrinitybellwoodsflea put up a great post yesterday that got me thinking. It said “made in Canada can’t work unless we change our culture” People love the convenience of a one stop shop. And people (including myself) are always looking for the cheaper option. I found myself yesterday looking for a book at my local bookstore and compared it to the price on Amazon. That’s when Andrew said “you said you want to support local remember” so the price on Amazon really didn’t matter.
We say we want to support local businesses but in the same sentence say we want the cheapest price. We need to reframe our thinking about what it means to support our local economy, about valuing quality over quantity and ensuring that the actual humans who create, make and sell these products make a sustainable living. Jeff Bezos’ net worth increased by $24 billion so far this year. Does that make sense when thousands of small businesses are fighting for every single $20 sale?

Have you tried this activity yet? As spring contin

Have you tried this activity yet? As spring continues to unfold, the backyard and sidewalks are full of treasures that can be turned into a nature scavenger hunt. Kids that are given repeated experiences in nature are more likely to develop a life long appreciation for it and a love for nature often means caring for it in all aspects of their lives.
Use an old egg carton and have your littles find 12 different things found in nature. Talk about the items - where they came from, why they are on the ground and how they could be used now. Like in crafts or how about to make a nature fairy house or bird house? For the littlest kids, turn it into a sensory activity with all the textures. Click the link in my bio and click on “low waste activities” for more ideas like this.

3 years 🥰 (plus 8 years of dating) A lot has changed since we celebrated last year. Particularly in the last 8 weeks. I’ve spent everyday with you and no one else. And I’m going to take that as a huge silver lining because I don’t think there will ever be another time when we get to spend this much time just the two of us. And I’m so grateful it’s with you.
I went through our wedding photos this morning to find one to put up and couldn’t help but linger on the ones of our family and friends. I miss hugging them, laughing with them in person and sharing meals and drinks with them. They were a huge part of our day 3 years ago so I’ve included some of my favourites. So while I’m incredibly grateful to have this time with @beakaleak, I can’t wait to bear hug these people. (Any many others who couldn’t be featured in this 10)

Mother’s Day is on Sunday! Let’s keep supporting our local businesses and economy by shopping locally and saving on that shipping pollution and packaging! Here I’ve got beer from @grainandgritbeer, a gift box from @agreenerplace.ca, handmade purses from @thisandthatdesignco and locally grown flowers from @euclidfarms !

Virtual gifts are great this year too - there are SO many classes online for pretty much every interest. Painting, flower arranging, cooking, yoga - you name it. You can find a virtual workshop to gift.
Or keep it even more eco-friendly with a plantable Mother’s Day card like this one from @cute.roots

Hello spring!!! 🌸 🌺
It’s the most glorious Sunday. Finished my run and going to spend some time working on house stuff, cleaning out the front garden and then relaxing on the back deck with rose and a book. What are you Sunday plans?
