The Lily Pad

“Future Firefighters”

Just said he might be too little to play up top with you guys… then looked over and he was already climbing! 😂

A little reminder: never put limits on a child because of their age or size. They’re capable of amazing things. ❤️

I forgot our buckets BUT we improvised.

A full day at childcare can be exhausting in a way that a full day of play at home isn’t. Being away from “their person” , navigating a busy day, learning, playing, and taking in so much is their version of a workday. So let them relax when they get home—just like we need to unwind after a long day, so do they. 🤍

Big shoutout to Blake-Rose Designs for the super bright, super fun shirts! 🌈 So nice to have something cute to wear instead of ruining our clothes 😂 I got one for me and one for each of my “helpers” — not quite uniforms, just cute shirts💕👕

We’re so excited to have our “Welcome to the Pad” flag flying! 💚🐸

A little nod to our Lily Pad family and all the fun, learning, and adventures that happen here every day.

We love switching up our flags throughout the year, but this one is definitely sticking around for a while—we’re kind of obsessed with it! 💚✨

I completely understand that not everyone is comfortable with dogs around their children, and I respect that. But we feel so blessed that our families love having Finn around. 🐾

Everyone thinks this little pink chair is for me to read stories… 😂 Nope—it’s Finn’s chair! It’s his favourite spot to sit back and watch all the kids. 💗

Our kids are always watching—and they love to join in. Even something as simple as mowing the lawn becomes a lesson when we let them help with the “same“ tools we use to care for our home. 🌱

So grateful to live in a town that sees the magic in mud play and letting kids just be kids. 💛 Huge thanks to the Quispamsis Recreation for putting on such a wonderful event! It was so sweet to see a few of my little pals out exploring too. Can’t wait for next year! 🌿
