Holiday Cheer
December 10, 2015 By
Happy holidays! I love this time of year, and this Christmas will be extra special because it'll be Baby James' first. Although he's still far too young to remember, I hope to make it as memorable as possible, for us. That means taking a million pics! :D Instead of setting up a large green tree, which we're saving for next year, we've gone with a small crystal tree from Nicole … [Read more...]

Waiting for Baby

Looking back, I've had my fair share of visitors. Although I haven't had any strong cravings (except for watermelon and Vietnamese pho), my friends have brought over desserts to keep … [Read more...]
It’s a Boy!
March 8, 2015 By
I can't believe it's finally March. The warmer weather and sunnier skies sure know how to jumpkick (and punch) the Winter blues. Joseph and I haven't been eating out much lately, partly because the snow and ice make it difficult to get around, but MAINLY because I'm pregnant (and nauseous). That's right, there's a baby on the way! Baby boy is currently 21 weeks old, and I'm feeling a … [Read more...]
Birthday Parties and Baby Showers
February 26, 2015 By
Lately I've been really busy with adorable baby showers and birthday parties (cuteness overload)! It really is this new stage in life for us, you know when "first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage." Babies seem to be THE thing for 2015 - even Hollywood celebs are popping them out left, right, and centre. I guess those ten weddings we attended two … [Read more...]
Baby Moccasins from A Little Heart & Sole
December 6, 2014 By
As if all baby things aren't cute enough, check out these adorable baby moccasins from A Little Heart & Sole! Custom-made with 100% lambskin leather, I got my friend, and owner of the company, to create these cuties for my niece. Needless to say, I'm in love! They're affordable (price ranges from $30 and onwards), and make a great gift too. Pink ballet slippers for my 8 month … [Read more...]
