A little peek at what a normal day looks like around here.

Some homeschooling, gymnastics, multiple coffees, a very cheeky dog who thinks every walk is the best day of his life, and yes, some client work squeezed in there too.

It's not always this smooth, but days like this are exactly why I do it the way I do.

Being there for the fun stuff and still getting my own thing done.

You are a pain in the butt... but we love you any way!

Happy International Dog Day!

In 2018, I was supposed to go back to work.

My year of maternity leave was up. But I so deeply and desperately did not want to miss out on any of my baby’s moments. I wanted to be fully present as a mum. To be there for him. Constantly.

Then, at the dining table one morning, my husband said “what if we sell my car, buy a cheaper 2nd car, and pocket the $10K difference to pay for another year off work?”

I felt terrified, but I knew I couldn’t say no. So I leapt. And I got my 2nd year off.

Last month we spent the day in front of the camera with the lovely Rachel from Little Oak Studio and what a fun one it was.

Rachel always makes the whole thing so easy though, plenty of laughs and zero pressure.

We can't wait to show you the finished product.

We love you Rach! Happy World Photography Day!

In 2016, I watched a close friend go through a traumatic birth. Then I heard almost the same story from another friend who had a baby. And I knew I wanted to do everything in my power to choose a different path for myself.

That led me to completing a hypnobirthing course when I was pregnant and having an amazing and positive birth.

Knowing we want something different is the first step.

I’m hoping to share more times over the next few weeks where I have chosen the different path and it has paid off… Stay tuned!

That excited, let's-do-this feeling followed by a next-day wave of doubt? So normal.

Our brains love to throw every worst-case scenario at us the second we get brave. It's not a sign you're not cut out for it. It's just your mind trying to keep you safe from anything new.

You're allowed to hear those fears, thank them for showing up, and keep going anyway. The doubt doesn't mean stop. It usually means you're onto something that matters to you.

What's the "what if" that likes to pop up for you?
