❣️Fave Victoria spots + stroller deets 👇

Cruising around the city made even cuter with our new @thule Spring 2 compact all-terrain stroller in soft beige. Smooth suspension for bumpy sidewalks and cobblestones, full-coverage canopy for sunny days, reclines for on-the-go naps, and ready from birth with a bassinet or car seat. Basically our go-everywhere stroller that ticks EVERY box - fave stroller we’ve ever owned! (Link in bio!)

1. @marketsquarevic and @paboom.victoria - Market square is full of cute shops and cafes, including Paboom, the most fun and colourful home goods store.

2. @heyhappycoffee - delish coffee, matcha and eats, and the happiest interior for a date!

3. @zingarofloralperfumery - stunning spot for unique florals, scents and gifts

4. Bastion Square - lovely views over the water, cafes and a fun spot for Mae Mae to run around! Don’t miss @saybayons in @thebaycentre for eclectic gifts and specialty foods.

Finding Releaf these days doesn’t take much, I’ve

Finding Releaf these days doesn’t take much, I’ve realized it’s all in the slower moments. I’ve teamed up with @PureLeafCanada to share what brings me Releaf: sipping my favourite Pure Leaf Iced Tea while baking a fresh loaf of bread and staying present in every detail. Pure Leaf crafts real brewed iced tea using the highest quality tea leaves - the most refreshing way to bring joy to my day. Establishing rituals at home has brought me the sense of peace I’ve been craving! Find your moment of Releaf - link in bio. 🌿🥖🍋🤎 #Sponsored #PureLeaf #IcedTea #FindReleaf

January bits! Made it through what always feels like the longest month of the year. Turns out it wasn't so bad. ☺️🤍

Now that I've had some time to reflect back on our

Now that I've had some time to reflect back on our 5 week trip to Australia, here are the things I wish I could go back and tell myself.

1. Lower your expectations. Stop trying to “see it all.” With 3 young kids, the sooner you let go of that stress to have everything work out perfectly and to do as much as possible, the more everyone will enjoy!

2. Consider your accommodation as part of the vacation, even if that means more $. Between naptimes, downtimes and mealtimes, you'll be spending a LOT of time there. We skimped on one of our rentals and quickly regretted it.

3. Cook at home more. We found it was always a win when we chose one meal to eat out every few days, and picked a spot with safe outdoor spaces and kid friendly menus. Meal prep and plan ahead. (Picnic at the beach? Yes please!)

4. Establish a routine. Too many times we were going with the flow, but our kids are at an age where they crave predictability and routine. They were constantly nagging about what each day would look like, and most of the time we didn't know.

5. Let some bad behaviour slide! New experiences, new environment, lack of routine - it is a LOT for little developing brains. "Poor behaviour", fighting, whining...it can feel overwhelming but I promise you, if you stop trying to constantly fix it and instead give your kids grace and understanding, you'll avoid a lot of burnout.

6. Not every day needs to be “epic.” When you're in a new place, ordinary days can be the best stories. Grocery shopping, errands, cooking at home - make it all part of your family experience. No time is wasted time.

7. It's okay to parent differently when you're travelling. Say "yes" to ice cream for dinner and the $3 ride at the mall. Bring the iPad on a stroller walk so that you can actually enjoy the views. Shed some of that shame and parenting pressure, you're doing great!

8. Focus more on the little joys. I keep thinking back to this coffee I had at an outdoor cafe while the kids were playing on the sidewalk. I can still feel how happy this moment was, how delish the coffee tasted, how content I felt. More moments like this please. 💛

Nope, not worried. 😇🌎✈️ Honestly, the 5 weeks we s

Nope, not worried. 😇🌎✈️ Honestly, the 5 weeks we spent in Australia felt like a lifetime in terms of development. We’ve never seen the kids flourish more, all 3 of them developed in ways we never could have predicted. Who knew?!
