Family Photo Fest

Back at the beginning of November my family got together at one of the local parks and met with a very talented young photographer, Ashley Topping, to have some family photos done. The last time we did this as a large group my littl'un was just a baby - and he's now 5, so we were certainly due for an update. My sisters and I all split on the cost of the session with Ashley (which was incredibly reasonably priced, I might add) and gave the photo session to our parents as a birthday gift - their birthdays are only 5 days apart.

That's a wrap

I picked up this denim wrap dress about a month ago while at our local V-V Boutique (that's Value Village for those of you who don't speak Mama-Sarcasm) and it hung in my closet for a while because once I got it home I wasn't really sure how to wear it.

Fall Prints and Leggings

I love wearing prints, but every now and again we swing back towards this trend of teeny tiny all over prints - and I'm sorry - but I just can't wear it.

Absent-minded professor?

Something about this outfit made me feel sort of professorial.

Gone Dotty

Oh My Goodness. I would absolutely lose my head if it weren't attached these days!

Complimentary

There's just something about using complimentary colours in an outfit. Nothing quite speaks to my psyche like rich complimentary colours.

Because, Science!

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer in my big kiddo's classroom for a "Scientist in the School" afternoon.

 

Just Lucky

A little green to celebrate St. Patrick's day today!

Peach and Plaid

Wearing skirts in the winter can be tricky up here in Canada. Tights or not there are days when you still need a rather thick layer of fabric between your skin and the cold.

Rainy Summer Day

I love the summer. Mostly because in relation to it, I can't stand being cold. I love those long, hot, summer days where you really just want to lay down somewhere and soak it in.... however, when we get a little brief reprieve in the middle of summer, after a good long thunderstorm the night before and you wake up in the morning and the air coming in feels fresh and cool. This was one of those days. Not planning on going anywhere means being dressed in something that's comfy enough to wear around the house, play with the kids and just hang out.
