Luke Is Three



Luke,

You are a game changer.

A happiness bringer.

An intelligent mind.

A silly guy.

Your name means "light giving" and that is exactly what you do to our world. In three short years you have already spread so much light. Life with you is an exciting adventure.

Looking back at Lukey Luke!

Luke's Second Year


Luke's First Year (this one makes me cry)



Luke's Third Year video is currently in progress, watch for it soon.

Shop With Me At Lace & Charm | New Basics Collection | Autumn Events

I don't know about you guys but when I love a clothing item, I can see myself wearing it in different scenarios. As I try on piece after piece from Lace & Charm's collection, my mind runs wild as to the different adventures I could go on and the things I will accomplish wearing their beautiful clothes. Isn't fun how fashion and beauty allows us to transform ourselves each day! I just love being a woman.

I had the pleasure of shopping Lace & Charm's new basic collection as well as their summer sale items this past weekend. I am excited to bring you guys along for a behind the scenes look at how L&C puts their collections together. Check out the video below, pictures and tips on how to take your summer fashions into fall.

Tips For Transitioning Summer Pieces Into Fall

1. Layer your off the shoulder tops with a pretty shall.

2. Consider pairing your summer dresses with ankle or cowboy boots.

3. Layer summer dresses with leggings and cardigans.

4. Top any flirty summer tanks with a jean jacket for a timeless fashion statement.

5. Wear long sleeves under your favourite dusters and kimonos.

I would love to know how you get longer wear out of your favourite summer pieces.

National Breastfeeding Week 2017

As I scrolled through the awesome and beautiful pictures of #nationalbreastfeedingweek I felt proud that I too am enjoying my breastfeeding experience and at the same time remembered how defeated I felt looking at those same pictures, after deciding to feed Luke full time on the bottle with formula at 6 weeks.

Fed is best!

I feel extremely blessed that I have had two extreme opposite feeding experiences. My troubles with Luke allowed me to relax more going into breastfeeding Elizabeth which I think was a huge factor in her feeding experience and I also think my first feeding experience has made me cherish the second more.

Luke is so bright and intelligent and so Elizabeth and they were fed differently. They both are growing and healthy!

I connected with both of my newborns while feeding them and their father has been able to be included in feeding them too, which is so cool.

Breastfeeding awareness is so important, we need to talk about all the aspects of it, be comfortable with boobs in public as children nurse and support each other as mothers however we decide to feed our children. Awareness campaigns like this are awesome if we keep it real and share honestly.

Feeding our babies is not always glamorous but it is always awesome.

If you want to know more about my feeding experiences check out the videos below and please feel free to share your thoughts as well. As always, lets keep it real mommas!
