{free} baby printables

My arm is slowly and steadily healing. I can type with both hands, which is making my life so much easier. I figured that I’d do a post with some baby graphics. I got a lot of the inspiration for this post from Pinterest boards. I love the cute baby quotes, but I don’t love that a lot of the quotes include ultrasound photos. You truly don’t know who that baby is, so why would you want to display that anywhere? Anyways, enjoy the photos!   More baby graphics here, as well as the photos that I did for my friend’s pregnancy announcement here!...

25 Get to Know Me Questions Tag

I fully intended to do a giant Boxing Day post of everything that I got, with try on photos. However, on my way to the mall, I fell in my driveway. I have a hairline fracture in my olecranon bone, whiplash in my neck and my ribs are super swollen. I think that maybe I should be wrapped in bubble wrap! Therefore, I figured that I’d do another type of blog post instead. I figured that I’d do a 25 Questions to Get to Know Me post instead! (credit for the questions here) What is your middle name? Jane – it’s my mom, grandma and great grandma’s as well. What was your favourite subject at school? I hated high school and hated all my classes! I personally think that it was because there...

In the words of Game of Thrones, winter is coming. I am currently sitting in my nice, warm house with a fantastic cup of tea and the Christmas presents left to wrap surrounding me. I plan to have them done by this afternoon. I think that this winter is the first year that I have forgotten a gift this late in the season. I ran out this morning to pick up something for my mom, because I realized that I had barely gotten her anything. When I left the mall, it was an absolute winter wonderland-ish blizzard outside. I slid the whole way home! I’m working an overnight shift tonight as a PSW, and I’m really not looking forward to having to leave my house again today. In the meantime, I thought...

Cheyenne's Birthday

I posted some of these pictures on social media yesterday, but I have some more for today! My goddaughter turns six on December 27th. Yesterday was her birthday party and I managed to take some pictures of her before the party.  I just had to share the cake that was from Cheyenne's party. It's a pinata cake, so it's filled with candy. How cute is that!? Plus, it's adorable!&nbs...

The Best Last Minute Gift!

I am the definition of a girly girl, but there's just something about Melanie at DropDeadCandles stuff that I love. Melanie and I work together - RN by day, fancy candle maker by night.  Melanie sells so many beautiful things, I had the pleasure of running into her a bazaar recently. I personally love the bath bombs. They're made with activated charcoal, lemongrass essential oil and citrus scented Epsom salts.  Think of how good you would that would smell and fell on your skin! I also really love the idea of her candles. They're made as skulls, but the scents sound incredible! They're coconut lime, pink grapefruit, sweet orange and peach mango. Plus, there's several...

Favourite Items from my New Favourite Store!

Six months ago, I honestly would have super rolled my eyes when anyone even slightly suggested the idea of Gap. Now, it’s becoming one of my favourite stores. The fact that I disliked it so much once upon a time kind of makes me chuckle because Old Navy is my favourite store, and they’re owned by the same company. Recently, my sister got me hooked on their linen tees and I found the most perfect pair of corduroy pants from there. I figured that I may as well share some of the stuff that I’m super loving from there, some stuff that I love for myself and for others this holiday season. Softspun Marled Cowl Neck Tunic // Softspun Double-Knit Sweatshirt // Softspun Knit Hi-Lo Top The...

Life has been crazy lately. I have been working my regular shifts, as well as picked up some casual shifts from my old job as a support worker. I have two job interviews this week coming up, both for part-time positions in my field. Side note, I fully intend to work three jobs at once. I want the opportunities to work part-time and learn how different homes run their different departments. I love these funny but truthful gift tags. Plus, they're free! I plan to do a free Christmas printable roundup this week on the blog.  With Christmas coming, I have done and re-done my Christmas list about twenty times. My mom always asks for one, because she never really knows what to get...

Mater, round 2.

I posted pictures of my dog, Mater in the past. Mater is my fun loving, almost five year old border collie. We got him from a puppy, and he has become a member of our family ever since. Recently, one afternoon, I got bored and took him into the backyard for some pictures. He never takes pictures for my parents, but he always poses for me (I always put a stick right above the camera lens then throw it once he takes the pictures). I only got four good pictures of him, but I thought I'd share them today.   ...

Girly Kitchen Gift Guide

Honestly, I’m finding that this year more than ever, I’m buying home gifts for my friends and family. I think it’s because I’ve reached a point where all of my friends are getting older and moving out. Sometimes, it’s great to spoil them with different items that they normally wouldn’t buy. Other times, it’s great to just purchase items that are essentials that they may not have thought of. Today, I thought I’d do a gift guide for some of girly, yet classic, kitchen gift ideas. Kate Spade New York Cookie Cutter Set // Kate Spade New York Scatter Dot Utensil Crock Set // Kate Spade New York Decorative Prep Board Set *all of these products are on sale for $40 & under right now!* I...

Can you believe that Black Friday is tomorrow? I’ve already started some of my shopping from the pre-sales. I picked up this tank top in black from Old Navy, as well as this cardigan in marion berry last night. I love them so much and I’m already daydreaming of all the outfits that I can make up with these two.  Old Navy already has their 50% off sale, and it was great. I wish I had found even more that I loved. However, I do like what I left the store with! Anyone who knows me is more likely aware that I am the definition of a crazy cat lady, plus a wine lover. I found cat wine! Catwine.co sells “Meowsling” and “Catbernet”. I can’t wait until I can have wine nights with Moose....

12 Gifts Under $50 for Beauty Lovers

I’ve admitted it before, and I’ll admit it again: I am a recovering Sephora addict. I used to spend way too much money on NARS blushes, Smashbox highlighters, Too Faced lipsticks and so much more. I will however, also admit that I have a strong love for the Sephora gift sets around Christmas time. They are usually released around October, which is great because I have time to scope out the greatest options for my friends and family. I love the cute little Too Faced sets for friends, and some more “grown up” gift options for people like my mom and sister. I am also done my shopping this year, but I still have to purchase my sister’s gift. Honestly, I love my sister to death but she’s...

Black Friday Wishlist: Old Navy

I’m going Black Friday shopping on Friday! It’s my first time in years. The last time I went, Target was still open in Canada. I remember because I got a curling wand for $10 that’s lasted me three years now. I figured I’d make a list of things I want to buy for Black Friday – which will also double as a gift guide. Today I’m doing Old Navy, but I’ll do a new one every day leading up to Black Friday. (PS Old Navy is 40% off the entire store until Friday, and 50% off from Friday to Sunday online and in store) Lace Sleeve V-Neck Shift Dress // Fit & Flare Cami Dress // Tie-Waist Crepe Midi Dress I love all of these dresses. They’re so cute and chic. Plus, you can dress them up...
