This is our dining room! I’m getting right into the before here. haha This wall has been sitting untouched since the day we moved into our townhome 6 years ago. I absolutely loved the colour butttt, there’s always a but. The previous owners had left the wall in some pretty bad shape. Holes were surrounding this entire wall and I’m talking small holes and massive holes. Ones that could easily been seen when standing in the room. So it totally looked off. Not to mention that this room basically sat like a cave. Dark and gloomy. It really needed a refresher and some new colour as sad as I was to say good-bye to this deep blue. It had to go! We needed something brighter and fun.
…The Best Homemade SnickerDoodle Waffles
Saturday & Sunday mornings are what my kids live for all week. That morning of sleeping in and waking up to the smell of waffles & strawberry sauce. We’ve been trying to gather around the table more since being home more. And the weekends are how we are making an effort more so.
Sunday morning I made snickerdoodle waffles, I’ve been making them forever and wanted to share our recipe. It’s so easy. The kids go nuts for them, and Drew. Plus, you gotta add in some whip cream. That’s how you really get into their morning hearts!
…10 Things To Thrift
You’re probably starting off by reading this and thinking, why only 10? Well, to start off, I do look for more than 10 things but to be honest I could be here all day writing off everything I look for when I go thrifting. My main goal is to fill my home with cool & unique pieces. Pieces that tell a story with its appearance and feel. I love how vintage items make a home feel a little more lived in. Its that items way of telling us it has a story a past and a future.
I usually make a system when I go to any thrift store and sometimes I just go in to get some mental clarity and search for random things. But my main spots to visit in any thrift store is the home decor section and kitchen. I find so many gold items in these two departments. I then like to hit up the books & furniture section.

Winter Escape To Emerald Lake | 6 Things to do while visiting!
Escaping for a few days has been on our mind for awhile lately. We’ve been doing our best at self isolating and restricting our visits out. But I’ve gotta say our mental health needed some clarity. We packed up the kids and Macy and drove to Emerald Lake Lodge. It has become one of our most loved places because it is also very isolated. There is little to no service, so our phones are off and our minds are also disconnected. It honestly feels so good.
This time we had met our friends and their kids there to spend three nights together hanging out and exploring. Let’s just say for as secluded it is here, there are a lot of fun things around that are great for social distancing. I’m here to share with you seven really great fun family things to do while staying at Emerald Lake Lodge! We will be sure to be back again. It’s honestly addicting to visit and disconnect!

IKEA Kids Play Kitchen Makeover
Spreading the excitement over here!
I found a steal of a deal over the weekend, and you all know that feeling of finding a sweet deal. It’s the best! Ella and I wandered into our local Value Village for a girls date and stumbled upon the IKEA Play Kitchen. We stood there pondering it for a good 15 minutes. Back and forth debating the idea of snatching it up. Was it nessacery, no. Did we really need it, not really.
But was the deal just to good to pass up, 100%. So we bought it! This bad boy and kitchen accessories came to a whooping $14.99.
