A few weeks ago, I was in H&M and found this adorable romper for only $19.99. Anything with adjustable straps and pockets is a win for me. The nice thing about rompers is you can easily dress them up or down depending on your day.

Quick, easy Peanut Butter cookies! Perfect for breakfast.

These raspberry oat bars are seriously delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. They are so easy to make they could even be a weeknight dessert.

I'm an avid DIYer, mostly because I love having the ability to add a personal touch to something in our home but also because it's cost-effective, and fun. Entertaining can be costly especially when you're serving wine. Riesling is my favourite and averages about $14.95 per bottle. bottling riesling at Vin Bon costs $5.92 per bottle (case of 26) for a savings of $243.70.

A pretty, simple tablescape just in time for Mother's Day.

I've been hosting Mother's Day Brunch for my Mom and sister for the past few years, and I can't think of a better way to spend the morning. You guys know how much I love setting the table for special occasions. Last year I used a cake for the centerpiece, this year I'm going to use fresh flowers.

It's already May which means Mother's Day is just around the corner. I think Mom's everywhere can agree that what we really want for Mother's Day is to sleep in, have breakfast in bed, and not have to make dinner, but since we know that's not going to happen Lol, here’s  a gift-giving guide sure to please the Mom in your life.

Mornings around here are hectic! Lunches need to be made, the kids need to find their uniforms, and of course, they need to eat breakfast. Pancakes are Morgan's favourite, Eggs and toast are Kendalls, they rarely agree on anything. Except! Cookies for breakfast, yup that's right, cookies.

The Diy Almond Milk has been a massive hit at our house. I make a fresh batch every 2-3 days, and the almond pulp was building up in the freezer. I wanted to use it in in something that would get eaten a no-fail type of recipe.

Saturday was gorgeous! I couldn't miss the opportunity to get our family dressed up and out for some pictures. We went to a park close to my parent's house. I spent so many years as a young child and teen in this park.

The need I feel to embrace a more simplified, cleaner lifestyle has everything to do with my vintage soul. The way everything was done "back then" intrigues me. Life, food, decor, the method just seemed so much simpler, and folks seemed happier.

I don't know how it happened, but I LOVE carrot cake everything. I still remember years ago when my sister told me she was baking her husband a carrot cake for his birthday and I joked around that he must have been really bad that year.

I can hardly believe it’s April and Easter is just around the corner. This year we are hosting both families. Mine for dinner on Saturday and Anthony's for brunch on Sunday. Wish me luck, 28 people in less than 24 hours.

The most Instagrammed / pinned boots on the internet and I wanted a pair for years! But, I couldn't find a pair that fit. Yes, I'm short, only 5ft tall but my calves are thick, and finding boots is a real pain in the behind.

Okay, it's not a mudroom, but for now, I'm going to pretend it is because I don't like "entryway" or "hallway" and because it's usually muddy, anyways.

Last night was Date night for Anthony and I, which meant my parents were coming over to have dinner with the kids. My Mom likes to bring her food over. She doesn't trust I'll have everything she needs which is probably the case. When she was going over the menu, she mentioned peanut butter cookies, and immediately Anthony's sad expression popped into my head, he's been gluten-free for the past 2 years.

Our family loves granola bars; I try to make my own to save money and to avoid unnecessary preservatives. This recipe is simple, quick, and only requires a few ingredients. 

Happy New Year, Friends!

Today i’m sharing a few ways we keep our home organized and clutter free. I notice a significant difference in my mental health and energy when our home is organized and clear of clutter Here are a few ways I’m keeping things organized.

I had every good intention in the world for completing this guide weeks ago giving you all enough time to place orders with some of my favourite local shops. Unfortunately, I was so busy with the handmade side of Tesser Traditions that I didn't get the chance. I'm going to share all the shops and ideas anyway, just in case you want to check them out for future gift ideas for yourself or a friend. A few shops haven't reached their cutoffs yet, so you may get lucky.

Cake for breakfast? YES! and with 3 cups of carrots, and 1 cup of walnuts, why not?! This Gluten-Free carrot cake is delightful and easy to make.

After four long months, Anthony is finally home for good and we couldn't be happier. I don't know how so many of you do it!
